1.12 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

To hold this 1.12 carat Ceylon sapphire is to possess a moment of enduring elegance, a talisman of refined taste that announces itself without apology. Sourced from the storied mines of Sri Lanka, this oval blue sapphire arrives with the quiet confidence of an heirloom yet the immediate presence of a modern masterpiece. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present gemstones as more than objects, they are declarations. This stone, with its vivid color intensity and exceptional polish, is poised to become the centerpiece of a carefully curated collection, an emblem of accomplishment that will be admired for generations. The colour is deep and alive, drawing the eye and holding attention, while the oval silhouette offers classical symmetry with an unmistakable contemporary edge, making it a choice for connoisseurs who understand the language of luxury.

Measured at 7.09 x 5.03 x 3.68 mm, this sapphire displays proportions that are both elegant and practical, offering a generous face up presence without overwhelming the setting. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the faceting has been expertly executed to harness the dual virtues of fire and brilliance, creating scintillation that catches light in lively flashes across the pavilion and crown. The clarity grade is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to the stone s clarity and the skill of its cutter, and these minute inclusions are visible only under scrutiny, never detracting from the gem s innate radiance. An excellent polish enhances every facet junction, permitting light to pass and reflect with minimal interruption, and the result is a gem that glows from within. This sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional and accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies the blue hue, while preserving the natural origin and character of the stone.

What sets this sapphire apart, and what will make it the focal point of any piece, is the way the mixed brilliant cut orchestrates light. The crown facets disperse color with a rich saturation, while the pavilion facets return light as vivid flashes, producing a dynamic, living glow that changes with motion and light. In a solitaire ring, the oval face will elongate the finger and present a striking yet wearable statement. Set as the centre of a halo, the sapphire will provide a deep, sumptuous heart to surrounding diamonds, their contrast lifting the blue to new heights. In a pendant, the stone will swing gently, catching sunlight and lamplight alike, performing as a private theatre of brilliance. The vivid color intensity ensures that the stone reads as blue from every angle, with a depth that resists washing out, and with polish described as excellent, the surface mirrors its surroundings with clarity, creating an illusion of even greater size and presence.
