1.14 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are seeking a sapphire that balances everyday elegance with long term value, this 1.14 carat oval blue sapphire answers that need with confidence. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this stone brings together classic provenance and meticulous craftsmanship. Measuring 7.08 x 5.02 x 3.81 mm, the sapphire displays a pleasing oval silhouette that flatters a variety of settings, and the mixed brilliant cut has been executed to enhance scintillation and visual depth. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, with a light color intensity and an excellent polish, the stone reads as transparent and lively in the hand and on the finger, making it ideal for anyone who wants a refined, wearable gem that still carries character and a story.

For customers planning an engagement ring, a signature piece, or a collector who values a durable, attractive stone, this sapphire meets those expectations beautifully. The light blue tone of this Ceylon sapphire offers a soft, elegant hue that pairs well with both warm and cool metal choices, and the oval shape tends to elongate the finger when set in a ring. The mixed brilliant cut promotes internal reflection and flash, which compensates for the lighter color intensity and gives the gem a luminous presence in natural and artificial light. Heat treatment is disclosed and is the standard enhancement for sapphires, applied to stabilize color and clarity in a way that is widely accepted in the market. With an excellent polish, the surface finishes cleanly against prongs or bezels, allowing jewelry designers to create a secure, beautiful setting that highlights the stone rather than hiding it.

Beyond immediate beauty and wearability, you are likely interested in the investment potential of a sapphire like this, and the long term prospects are encouraging. Ceylon sapphires remain highly sought after for their distinct, often lighter blue shades that differ from the deeper tones associated with other origins, and provenance matters to collectors and informed buyers. Quality elements such as a precise mixed brilliant cut, a clarity that appears very very slightly included at eye level, an excellent polish, and reliable origin documentation all contribute to market desirability. Although heat treated stones are more common than untreated stones, well treated Ceylon sapphires from reputable suppliers often appreciate as demand increases for ethically sourced, traceable gemstones. The market for natural colored gemstones has shown steady interest among investors who prefer tangible assets that combine beauty with scarcity, and a stone of this size and quality is well positioned to retain and potentially increase its value over time, especially if held with proper care and accompanied by documentation from a trusted source.
