1.18 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Presenting a remarkable heart shaped blue sapphire, a one point one eight carat marvel that marries emotional symbolism with rare natural beauty. This gem measures five point five five by six point four two by four point eight three millimeters, a proportion that speaks to careful planning and expert cutting, and it is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize scintillation. The color is intense, a richly saturated blue that captures the luminous character of fine Ceylon sapphires, and the polish is excellent, delivering crisp facet junctions and a mirror like finish. Clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to the clean, almost undisturbed window through which light may dance, and critically this sapphire is completely natural with no enhancement, enhancing its rarity and appeal. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this stone, a piece that pairs the romance of a heart silhouette with the uncompromising standards of provenance and craftsmanship that discerning collectors require.

The one point one eight carat weight is the defining element of this sapphire, and it is where rarity and value converge in a most compelling way. Carat weight is not merely a number, it is an expression of presence, and a heart shaped gem at this weight commands attention without overwhelming the wearer. Achieving one point one eight carats in a heart outline requires exceptional skill, because every facet and every millimeter must be balanced to preserve weight while unlocking brilliance. In the world of rare colored stones, each incremental increase in carat weight multiplies desirability, and an untreated Ceylon sapphire of intense hue at this weight is a particularly scarce find. The dimensions yield a charming face up size that reads larger than its weight might suggest to the casual eye, a benefit of the generous table and intelligent pavilion depth. For a connoisseur who recognizes that true luxury is measured by the intersection of natural rarity and refined execution, this one point one eight carat heart sapphire represents an achievement in both geology and artistry.

Beyond the numerical significance of its weight, this sapphire is a study in how substance creates lasting value. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to emphasize both fire and depth of tone, producing flashes of lively blue and brighter highlights that animate the gem as it moves. The excellent polish ensures that reflections remain pure, and the very very slight inclusions are so discreet that the gem reads as visually pure in everyday wear, increasing its desirability for heirloom quality pieces. Origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka further elevates the story of this stone, linking it to a storied tradition of sapphires that have long been sought after for their clarity and velvety blue. Because this stone is natural and untreated, its weight carries an even higher premium, appealing to collectors who prize authenticity and long term appreciation. Whether set in a solitary ring to celebrate a milestone, suspended as an intimate pendant that hovers close to the skin, or reserved as the centerpiece of a bespoke creation, this sapphire confers a quiet but unmistakable authority on the wearer. From provenance and proportion to polish and purity, The Natural Sapphire Company offers this one point one eight carat heart shaped blue sapphire as an invitation to acquire something both beautiful and rare, a jewel that signals refined taste and the confident ownership of an object of enduring value.
