1.14 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.14 carat cushion shape blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka offered by The Natural Sapphire Company stands apart from ordinary sapphires on the market because of the way its structure and cutting come together to create exceptional sparkle and visual depth. Measuring 6.91 x 4.87 x 3.49 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, this stone takes full advantage of corundum chemistry and crystal habit. The mixed brilliant cut combines larger step facets on the pavilion with brilliant style facets on the crown, guiding light into the stone and returning bright flashes of scintillation. The sapphire s high refractive index and modest dispersion mean that well executed facet junctions and angles are critical, and here the exacting cut maximizes both brilliance and fire. With a clarity grade described as very very slightly included at eye level, light passes through with minimal obstruction, allowing internal reflections to play freely and producing crisp, lively flashes that outperform more included or coarsely cut examples.

Compared to other market options, this vivid intensity blue sapphire offers a rare combination of saturated color, transparent clarity, and precision cutting that gives superior value and presence. The heat treated enhancement is a responsible and stable process commonly used to refine color, and in this case it accentuates the pure, vivid blue without compromising clarity or structure. The cushion outline gives broad color facets that present a rich face up color, while the mixed brilliant pavilion returns energetic scintillation that rivals higher carat stones with lesser cutting. The excellent polish improves light return further, eliminating surface diffusion that dulls sparkle in lower quality gems. For buyers seeking a sapphire that delivers unmatched optical performance for its size, this 1.14 carat Ceylon sapphire is an outstanding choice. The Natural Sapphire Company sources and evaluates each gem to ensure that the stone you receive combines provenance, craftsmanship, and the kind of sparkling presence that makes a ring or pendant feel truly exceptional. If you are comparing options, consider how clarity, cut precision, polish, and origin work together here to create a balance of color and brilliance rarely matched at this price and size.
