1.13 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Consider a gem that announces refined taste with the quiet confidence of a timeless heirloom. This pear shaped blue sapphire, weighing 1.13 carats, is a rare expression of Ceylon provenance, offering a medium intense hue that glows with a cool, elegant depth. Precisely cut to measure 7.81 x 5.35 x 3.45 mm, its mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize scintillation and fire, while an excellent polish allows light to glide across every facet. Naturally transparent, and free of enhancement, this sapphire retains the authentic character that connoisseurs prize, presenting slight inclusions that are only detectable under close observation, while remaining beautifully lively and eye catching in standard viewing conditions. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this stone stands apart for its provenance, its untreated purity, and the artisanal attention invested in shaping its pear silhouette.

For an engagement ring, this sapphire is more than an alternative, it is a considered statement. The pear shape flatters the hand with a graceful elongation, drawing the eye and conveying a sense of sophistication that is both modern and classic. At 1.13 carats the gem reads as intimate and refined, ideal for a wearer who values proportion and elegance rather than overt size. The medium intense blue offers a versatile palette, pairing exquisitely with halo settings of brilliant white diamonds to amplify light, or with a simple solitaire in warm rose gold to emphasize the stone's natural blue warmth. Its clarity grading of slightly included at eye level contributes to the gem's individuality, offering subtle internal depth that reveals itself under movement, a reminder of the gem origin in the storied deposits of Ceylon Sri Lanka. The fact that this sapphire is unenhanced enhances its desirability, because true rarity lies in minerals that emerge from the earth with their color intact.

As an engagement option, this sapphire is a signal of discerning taste, a private luxury that honors both tradition and personal narrative. Imagine a bespoke setting that cradles this pear shaped gem, its tapered point aligning with the finger to create a silhouette that is elegant and enduring. Consider a three stone composition to symbolize past present and future, or a pavé band to add a whisper of brilliance without overshadowing the stone itself. The Natural Sapphire Company can assist in translating this vision into a ring that is tailored to the wearer, advising on metal choice, setting height, and complementary accent diamonds to ensure the sapphire performs at its luminous best. Owning this sapphire is an expression of achievement, a piece that will be treasured now and inherited later, its natural Ceylon origin and untreated condition making it a collector worthy gem. For those who seek an engagement gem that marries quiet confidence with refined beauty, this 1.13 carat pear shaped blue sapphire offers an unforgettable beginning.
