1.13 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

For centuries Sri Lankan sapphires have been prized by royalty and connoisseurs for their luminous depth and enduring elegance, this 1.13 carat transparent cushion shape blue sapphire continues that storied tradition with a presence that feels both classic and alive. Hailing from Ceylon, this gem carries the island history of skilled cutters and timeless taste, its vivid color intensity recalling the deep tropical skies and ocean waters that have inspired gem lovers for generations. The Natural Sapphire Company is honored to present this stone, a refined example of antique inspiration married to contemporary gem cutting, a jewel that speaks to those who value heritage and legacy.

Viewed up close, the technical qualities of this sapphire explain how its color will command attention in any jewelry setting. Measuring 6.68 x 5.78 x 3.27 mm with a mixed brilliant cut, the pavilion and crown work together to return light with lively scintillation, while an excellent polish gives the surface a mirror like finish that enhances saturation and sparkle. Graded as eye clean at normal viewing distance, the clarity allows uninterrupted appreciation of the rich blue, and the transparent body color ensures the hue reads pure and vivid from many angles. The stone has been heat treated, a traditional and widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies the color, making the blue more vivid and consistent without compromising the gem form or its long term beauty.

Placed in a setting, this cushion sapphire will become the defining focal point, whether set as a solitaire ring to honor its simple strength, embraced by a halo to amplify its brilliance, or paired in a vintage inspired three stone mount to emphasize legacy and timeless style. The classic cushion outline sits beautifully in both modern and heirloom designs, its proportions allowing light to play across the facets while maintaining a substantial presence on the finger or pendant. For collectors and lovers of history alike, this Ceylon sapphire offers the rare combination of cultural provenance, superb polish, vivid color, and wearable size, a gem that will stand out now and endure as a treasured piece for generations.
