1.11 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the mineral rich soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire began its journey as a patient story written in stone, millions of years in the making. Hand recovered from the island that has long been celebrated for producing some of the world s most desirable blue sapphires, the rough crystal showed early promise with deep, consistent saturation. That rough was entrusted to experienced cutters who shaped it into a refined oval, 1.11 carats in weight, with dimensions of 6.47 by 4.59 by 4.32 millimeters. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to marry a lively table sparkle with a strong pavilion return, and the excellent polish was executed to reveal the gem s vivid color intensity. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very slightly included, a mark that speaks to natural origin while remaining beautifully transparent, and this stone has been heat treated as an enhancement to stabilize and optimize its color. Each facet was placed to honor the stone s origin and to coax out the luminous blues that make Ceylon sapphires so treasured across cultures and generations.

Owning this gem through The Natural Sapphire Company is an investment in both beauty and craft, a choice that carries provenance, skill, and enduring appeal. The vivid Ceylon blue, combined with a thoughtful mixed brilliant cutting style and meticulous polish, creates a gem that performs magnificently in light and wears with elegant presence, whether set as a solitaire ring or a custom pendant. Beyond its immediate visual impact, this sapphire represents a continuity of human skill, from miners and lapidaries to our gem specialists, and comes with full disclosure of its enhancement and origin. For collectors and lovers of fine gems, a stone of this caliber offers tangibility, rarity, and the potential to become a family heirloom that is appreciated both for its aesthetic qualities and for the story it carries. When you choose this sapphire you are choosing an object shaped by nature and elevated by craftsmanship, a lasting investment in beauty that we at The Natural Sapphire Company are proud to present.
