1.17 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Tanzania

Imagine holding a perfect drop of ocean light in the palm of your hand, a pear shaped blue sapphire weighing 1.17 carats, measuring 7.75 x 5.20 x 3.58 mm, cut to a mixed brilliant pattern that dances with every turn, polished to an excellent finish that throws back fire and luster, and entirely natural with no enhancement. This Tanzanian treasure radiates a medium intense blue that feels both joyful and noble, a color that speaks of calm strength and timeless romance. Its transparency lets light travel deep into the stone, while slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level gives it a living personality, a fingerprint of nature that proves its authenticity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem not only as an object of beauty, but as a story waiting to be written, a celebration that will mark an anniversary, seal a proposal, or become the centerpiece of a bespoke creation meant to spark joy for decades.

Beyond its immediate emotional pull, this untreated Tanzanian sapphire carries compelling investment potential that savvy collectors and lovers of fine gems feel in their bones. Natural sapphires that are unheated and unenhanced command higher regard among connoisseurs because they are rarer and display pure geological character. Origin matters in the marketplace, and Tanzania is an increasingly respected source, producing sapphires that combine attractive color with strong clarity and ethical traceability. The mixed brilliant cut in a pear shape is both classic and distinctive, making the gem desirable to designers and private collectors alike, and versatile enough to translate into a sought after ring or pendant that increases liquidity and marketability. Quality attributes such as vivid yet balanced color, excellent polish, and measurable transparency strengthen long term value. Slight inclusions that are not apparent to the naked eye tell a story of natural formation rather than laboratory treatment, and that narrative carries premium appeal. When global supply is constrained and demand for unique, natural gems grows, well chosen sapphires have shown resilience and potential for appreciation over time, especially when sourced and documented by a trusted house like The Natural Sapphire Company.

Owning this 1.17 carat Tanzanian sapphire is an invitation to create a legacy that is both deeply personal and financially astute. Imagine the satisfaction of wearing it daily as a reminder of a milestone, knowing that its rarity and untreated nature set it apart, or envision it becoming an heirloom passed down with provenance paperwork and a clear story of origin and craftsmanship. The combination of emotional resonance, impeccable polish, and natural authenticity makes this gem a perfect candidate for long term collection, a tangible asset that can complement a diversified approach to wealth in a way that also enriches the heart. At The Natural Sapphire Company we are committed to guiding you through the selection and documentation process, so that your purchase is as secure as it is beautiful. Choose this sapphire to celebrate love, to mark achievement, or to invest in something that holds both aesthetic splendor and the potential to grow in value as it becomes rarer and more cherished with time.
