1.15 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a sapphire that resolves the question of whether to choose beauty or durability, this 1.15 carat pear shape blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is the answer you have been looking for. Many customers come to us wanting a stone that will deliver an immediate emotional response when it is seen for the first time, a gem that reads as unmistakably precious whether set in a simple solitaire or surrounded by accent stones, and this sapphire meets that brief effortlessly. The pear shape is inherently elegant, flattering on the finger, and also ideal for pendants and earrings, so whether your intent is a distinctive engagement ring or a treasured addition to a collector's cabinet, the proportions and presence of this gem resolve that search. Our clients who choose a Ceylon sapphire often ask for lively color and superior light performance, and that is exactly what this stone offers with its vivid color intensity, excellent polish, and a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes sparkle and color play.

This sapphire measures 8.07 by 5.28 by 3.41 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut is designed to combine the depth and fire of brilliant facets with the classic elegance of a pear outline. The result is a gem that flashes scintillation with movement, while also presenting a saturated, vibrant blue when viewed face up. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads as very clean to the naked eye and maintains exceptional transparency, allowing light to travel through the pavilion and return as lively reflections. The excellent polish enhances those reflections and creates crisp facet junctions so that each flash of light is distinct, giving the eye the impression of a lively inner fire. The origin of this gem is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for sapphires that combine bright, clean blue tones with an appealing clarity, and this sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that intensifies the natural blue and stabilizes the color for everyday wear.

Consider how this sapphire will stand out in any jewelry setting, because the vivid color intensity is the defining trait that sets this stone apart. Set in warm yellow gold, the blue will gain a luminous contrast that reads rich and classical, and set in white metals such as platinum or white gold, the cool blue tone will appear crisp and contemporary while the mixed brilliant cut will deliver lively brilliance against a neutral backdrop. The pear shape offers an elegant silhouette that elongates the finger when mounted as a ring, and it also makes a striking drop for a pendant where the narrow tip can be oriented toward the neck for a sophisticated look. The gem’s dimensions, combined with its 1.15 carat weight, make it an ideal center stone for designs that want presence without overwhelming proportion, and the vivid saturation ensures it captures attention even in subtle, minimalist designs. Photographs showing the sapphire on a hand and held between tweezers illustrate scale and how the face up color and facet reflections interact with natural light, reassuring buyers that the stone maintains its vivid appeal in real world wear.
