1.11 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Tanzania

Imagine a single star folded into a gem, a soft ocean of blue trapped in an oval of light, waiting to be the steady answer to a lifetime of questions. This is a transparent 1.11 carat blue sapphire, an oval shaped jewel that measures 6.89 x 6.02 x 3.29 mm, cut with a mixed brilliant arrangement that breathes fire and calm with every subtle turn of the wrist. Its medium intense color intensity is the kind of blue that speaks in hushed, certain tones, neither shout nor whisper, but a promise. Evaluated at eye level it bears a clarity of very slightly included, details that are invisible to the heart and nearly invisible to the eye, and it carries an excellent polish that lets light play along its facets like moonlight on quiet water. This stone is entirely natural, no enhancement, born in the rich soils of Tanzania, and handed to you by The Natural Sapphire Company with the integrity and provenance you deserve.

Think of this sapphire as an emblem of choice and devotion, an ideal engagement option for someone who wants both beauty and meaning in equal measure. The oval shape flatters the finger, elongating and flattering the hand with a gentle sweep that becomes part of the silhouette of a life together. The mixed brilliant cut balances sparkle and depth, creating a soft inner glow that feels intimate when you hold it close, and radiant when it catches the light across a crowded room. At 1.11 carats the size is graceful, a voice that carries without overwhelming the person who wears it, a jewel that invites daily companionship rather than reserved admiring. The medium intense blue suggests steadiness and passion in equal parts, a color that is as suitable for whispered promises as it is for the bright laughter of anniversaries. Knowing that the sapphire is unenhanced gives the moment an extra layer of honesty, a truth in the gem itself that mirrors the promise you will make.

When I present this gem as part of The Natural Sapphire Company collection, I do so with the confidence of years studying crystals and cut and origin, and with the tenderness of someone who understands what an engagement ring must become. The dimensions 6.89 x 6.02 x 3.29 mm are more than numbers, they are the geometry of a future ring, a scale to guide the balance of a setting, the width of a band, the way light will travel across a finger. The very slightly included clarity, assessed at eye level, means that the sapphire maintains breathtaking transparency and a purity of spirit, while telling the small, beautiful story of its natural formation. Excellent polish ensures every edge and plane is finished to sing, so that the stone sits alive and awake in any setting you choose. From a classic solitaire to a halo framed in petite diamonds, this sapphire will argue lovingly for itself, always elegant, always kind to the eye.
