1.15 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Tanzania

A single blue like the memory of twilight cradles itself in a pear shaped heart, a transparent 1.15 carat blue sapphire that seems to breathe with the slow rhythm of the ocean. Sourced from the storied soils of Tanzania, this gem carries the wild, honest color of highland skies after rain, a vivid intensity that draws the eye and holds it. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed with a jeweler s tenderness, coaxing out fiery flashes and deep velvety blues in equal measure, every facet aligned to tell a story. At 6.47 x 6.71 x 3.39 mm the proportions are intimate and elegant, small enough to speak of whispered promises, substantial enough to anchor a lifetime of daily wear.

Look closely and you will find a clarity grade very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testimony to the gem s natural birth, not to human artifice. These tiny internal characters do not detract, they humanize, they remind you that this sapphire was formed over eons, in pressure and time, emerging as a vivid, living jewel. The excellent polish plays across the stone like satin light, and the mixed brilliant cut multiplies the depth of color into scintillating pulses of blue and indigo. When set, the pear silhouette becomes a droplet of sky, tapered to the point of devotion, reflecting back the moment it catches the light. No enhancement touches this treasure, the hue and clarity are honest and whole, a pure offering from the earth shaped by patient hands.

Durability is the quiet guarantee behind its beauty, sapphire being the mineral corundum, with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond which is a 10. This placement on the Mohs scale means that this Tanzanian blue sapphire resists scratches from almost every common material you will meet in daily life, it will keep its polish and hold its facets with steadfast grace. By comparison, quartz measures 7 on the same scale, and topaz sits at 8, so the sapphire s resilience will serve far better for a ring that knows the world, a pendant that brushes shirts and hair, a piece meant to be worn without fear. For any setting that will receive daily devotion, prong or bezel designs by our artisans at The Natural Sapphire Company will protect the pointed tip and celebrate the pear shape, while routine gentle cleaning will return the polish to its first brilliance.

There is poetry in provenance, and this gem is uncompromised, a no enhancement sapphire, an honest blue born in Tanzania, brought to you by The Natural Sapphire Company with reverence and care. Imagine it cupped in a custom setting, a delicate halo of white diamonds to set off the vivid blue, a simple solitaire to honor the stone s purity, or a warm gold bezel that sings to its sunset notes. Our craftsmen can suggest proportions to complement its 6.47 x 6.71 x 3.39 mm dimensions, ensuring balance between brilliance and wearability. To hold this sapphire is to hold a small, ancient sky, resilient yet tender, ready to witness vows, anniversaries, and quiet afternoons. Allow it to become a living part of your story, a sapphire that will age with you, steadfast as the oceans, bright as the moment you choose it.
