1.10 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.10 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon is a rare and attractive choice for the educated buyer, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone measures 6.52 x 5.55 x 3.35 mm, and its weight of 1.10 carats is a key factor in its value and desirability. Sapphires from Sri Lanka are prized for their saturated, velvety blues, and a sapphire that surpasses one carat in weight while retaining vivid color intensity is uncommon on the market. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to balance scintillation and color delivery, and the excellent polish contributes to a sharp, lively face up appearance. This stone is transparent, with a slight inclusion level graded as slightly included evaluated at eye level, which is consistent with natural origin and in many cases enhances the character and individuality of the gem. The sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color, and the presence of treatment is disclosed to maintain full market integrity and long term value.

From a grading and investment perspective, the 1.10 carat weight is significant, because many pricing and availability thresholds for high quality blue sapphires change above and below the one carat mark. A well colored Ceylon sapphire at this weight offers a compelling combination of rarity, wearability, and potential appreciation, especially when paired with vividity and a clean eye level appearance. The mixed brilliant cut optimizes light return while maintaining an elegant oval outline, making this gem suitable for a range of settings from classic solitaires to more elaborate designs. Slight inclusions do not detract from the overall visual impact, rather they confirm natural formation and provenance. Buyers who prioritize both aesthetic appeal and geological authenticity will value the transparent nature and vivid blue tone of this stone, as well as the reputable sourcing information provided by The Natural Sapphire Company. For connoisseurs seeking a center stone that reads as substantial on the finger yet remains within a practical size for everyday wear, this 1.10 carat Ceylon sapphire represents a balanced and rare offering, combining measured rarity, certified origin, and thoughtful finishing to deliver enduring beauty and market confidence.
