1.15 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped 1.15 carat blue sapphire from Ceylon combines the best attributes buyers seek when comparing stones on the market, offering a vivid color intensity, transparent body, and excellent polish that set it apart from many treated or heavily included alternatives. At 7.30 x 5.36 x 3.78 mm with a mixed brilliant cut, this gem delivers lively sparkle and depth while retaining a balanced profile that sits beautifully in both delicate and substantial settings. The clarity is recorded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the gem appears eye clean to most viewers, unlike more common lower clarity stones that require close inspection to avoid visible inclusions. Importantly this sapphire has no enhancement, a quality that makes it rarer and more desirable than typical heat treated material, and confirms its natural character as a true Ceylon stone, prized for lively blue tones and an appealing glow that many gem buyers prefer to the often darker or altered hues found elsewhere.

When considering customization this sapphire is exceptionally versatile, and it excels in designs where natural color and brilliance must be front and center. As a pear shaped center stone it adapts to classic solitaire rings where the tapered end flatters the finger, to halo settings that magnify its presence without overwhelming its 1.15 carat size, and to three stone arrangements where side diamonds add contrast and fire. For pendants the pear outline reads elegantly as a teardrop motif, and as a matched pair for earrings two well cut pears can create a dramatic, elongated silhouette. Bezel settings will protect the girdle and emphasize the gem body, while prong settings will maximize light return for the mixed brilliant cut. The dimensions make it a natural choice for both delicate, everyday jewelry and refined, bespoke pieces, and it pairs well with platinum for modern cool contrast, with yellow gold for a warm classic look, and with rose gold for a contemporary romantic tone. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can advise on complementary sidestones, metal choices, and mounting styles to showcase the untreated Ceylon origin and vivid color of this sapphire, ensuring a finished piece that carries greater long term value and unique character compared to mass market alternatives.
