1.19 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for the perfect engagement ring center stone or a rare collector piece that combines heritage, wearability, and exceptional visual appeal, this 1.19 carat cushion shape blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company answers that search. Transparent, with dimensions of 7.21 by 5.69 by 3.17 mm, the gem is cut as a mixed brilliant to balance scintillation and depth, and it presents an intense, vivid blue that reads beautifully both in daylight and under evening light. The clarity grade is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the excellent polish allows for lively brilliance and crisp facet reflections. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka, with a standard heat treatment enhancement, this sapphire offers the stability and predictability many clients want for everyday wear, while still delivering that rare, collector worthy color and presence.

When you compare this stone to famous gems in history, its unique value becomes clear. It carries the lively clarity and transparent appeal reminiscent of the Logan Sapphire, yet it has a more concentrated, electric blue akin to the coveted Kashmir examples that collectors describe as velvety, without the typical heaviness those stones can show. It avoids the asterism of the Star of India, instead offering brilliant sparkle that will maximize flash in a modern or vintage inspired setting. Compared to deep royal examples such as the Stuart Sapphire, this Ceylon piece is brighter and more lively on the finger, making it especially suited to engagement rings where daily sparkle and a noticeable but wearable size are priorities. Heat treatment has been applied in line with industry practice to enhance color and clarity, and because the cutting and polish were executed to an excellent standard, the result is a gem that feels like a compromise between historical glamour and contemporary brilliance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that your search ends with a stone that matches both heart and lifestyle, and this 1.19 carat cushion blue sapphire is ready to be set into a custom design or chosen as the singular heirloom you will be proud to wear every day.
