1.15 Ct. Purplish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A single pearl of the finest night sky, this 1.15 carat pear shape purplish blue sapphire is an invitation to a very select circle of collectors and connoisseurs who understand the power of owning something rare and unaltered. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this extraordinary stone with full confidence in its inherent beauty and provenance, a gem that reads as both modern elegance and timeless legacy. At 6.10 x 6.69 x 3.52 mm this sapphire sits at a perfect intersection of presence and refinement, large enough to command attention in a solitaire or halo setting, yet intimate enough to serve as a personal talisman. The modified brilliant faceted cut and excellent polish have been executed to maximize depth and surface flash, allowing the purplish blue hue to emerge with an intensity that is dark and mysterious, yet versatile enough to harmonize with warm and cool metals. Transparency is clear and immediate, and the stone has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, a subtle testament to its natural origin that only enhances authenticity for those who prize genuine, unenhanced gemstones.

This sapphire is unenhanced, a rare attribute in a market where heat treatment is common, and it comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a cradle of sapphires that has produced some of the world most sought after gems for centuries. At The Natural Sapphire Company we do not simply sell gemstones, we steward relationships and practices that support ethical sourcing and traceability from mine to setting. We work directly with trusted partners on the ground, ensuring that every step from extraction to evaluation respects fair labor standards and local communities, and minimizes environmental impact wherever possible. For the conscious consumer who seeks beauty without compromise, this stone offers a clear ethical narrative, because it is natural, untreated, and sourced with transparency in mind. Independent gemological assessment accompanies each gem, providing the documentation that discerning buyers require to feel secure in the provenance and authenticity of their acquisition.

Beyond provenance, the attributes of this sapphire make it an exceptional choice for a bespoke commission. The pear shape brings both classic romance and contemporary edge, its gentle taper allowing light to enter and play across the modified brilliant facets in dynamic ways as the gem moves. The dark color intensity provides a stage for the purplish blue tones to shift subtly from deep indigo to lively violet blue, depending on the light source and the metal it is set against. The very slightly included clarity grading confirmed at eye level speaks to a stone that is visually clean and lively, with inclusions that do not detract from its overall allure, and that in fact authenticate its natural story. The excellent polish ensures that each facet reads with crispness and depth, delivering a luxurious surface that will sit beautifully in a ring, a pendant, or a pair of bespoke earrings. For clients who are assembling a considered collection, this sapphire serves as a rare center piece, an heirloom quality gem that will age gracefully and carry a provenance story that is as compelling as its color.

Owning this sapphire is an opportunity to join an elite group who appreciate gems that are as conscientious as they are beautiful. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to a private consultation to explore setting options, to view certification details, and to discuss how this 1.15 carat pear shape purplish blue sapphire can be integrated into a collection that reflects your values and aesthetic sensibility. Because this gem is unenhanced and originates from a specific Ceylon Sri Lanka source, it does not present the ubiquitous appearance of treated stones, and therefore it will remain a point of distinction in any jewelry wardrobe. We offer bespoke design services that emphasize longevity, responsible metal sourcing, and settings that protect and showcase the gem. For the buyer who considers sustainability as essential as beauty, this sapphire is a rare opportunity to acquire a tangible piece of natural history, a polished expression of earth born color that is ethically gathered, skillfully cut, and reserved for those who value authenticity above mere trend.
