1.11 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.11 carat oval blue sapphire measures 6.80 x 4.96 x 4.01 mm and exhibits a mixed brilliant cut that balances brilliance and depth, producing lively light return and refined proportion. The stone displays a vivid color intensity that is characteristic of fine Ceylon sapphires, and its excellent polish enhances surface luster and facet definition. Clarity is described as very very slightly included, assessed at eye level, which means minimal inclusions do not interfere with optical performance or the stone's visual purity. The gem has been heat treated to optimize hue and clarity, a common and stable enhancement applied with controlled parameters, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region known for producing sapphires with vibrant cornflower to royal blue tones. The oval outline and precise dimensions make this sapphire suitable for a range of settings, and the combination of transparency, cut symmetry, and polished finish ensures a consistent, elegant presentation under varied lighting conditions.

Owning this sapphire represents an investment in both beauty and craftsmanship, because the gem combines natural material quality with thoughtful lapidary execution, and provenance from Ceylon adds contextual value. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize the stone's optical potential, while the excellent polish and careful facet alignment reflect skilled cutting that preserves weight without sacrificing performance. The heat treatment applied is a recognized standard in the trade that stabilizes and enhances the inherent color, contributing to a predictable long term appearance. Acquiring this piece through The Natural Sapphire Company offers documented provenance and professional handling, making it ready for bespoke mounting or to be held as a collectible. Over time a sapphire of this caliber can retain aesthetic desirability and appeal as a heritage gemstone, suitable for an engagement ring, a fine pendant, or as part of a curated collection, and it stands as a tangible expression of refined material, responsible sourcing, and meticulous finishing.
