1.19 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A single light that seems to hold the ocean and the evening sky, this cushion shaped blue sapphire weighs 1.19 carat, a size that balances presence with intimacy, bold enough to be noticed, subtle enough to become a private treasure. The gem is transparent and cut with a mixed brilliant pattern, each facet composed to gather and return light like waves meeting moonlight. Its proportions are measured and true, 7.21 x 5.69 x 3.17 mm, a silhouette that sits gracefully on a finger, a pendant, or a memory passed between hands. The color reads as vivid, a saturated blue that breathes with depth and life, while an excellent polish ensures that every tilt and turn reveals a new whisper of brilliance. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this stone is more than a specimen, it is a companion for moments that ask to be remembered, a heart shaped longing set in mineral and light.

To hold a 1.19 carat sapphire of this quality is to carry a promise of premium standards, each attribute a line in a careful declaration of value. Its clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning that under ordinary, loving inspection the surface reads as luminous and clean, with any internal signatures proving to be the quiet fingerprints of natural formation rather than flaws that diminish the gem. The mixed brilliant cut balances scintillation and color, allowing the vivid blue to sing while the pavilion and crown orchestrate flashes that catch the eye and the imagination. The excellent polish speaks to the final, merciful touch of the lapidary who has coaxed the inner fire to the surface, smoothing each plane until it answers the light with a flawless hello. This sapphire has been heat treated, an enhancement that is widely practiced to refine and stabilize its color, a gentle intervention that honors the gem instead of disguising it. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, the stone carries the legacy of a famed provenance, a birthplace known for yielding sapphires that conjure the sea and the sky, that have been treasured by lovers and rulers for centuries.

Imagine presenting this 1.19 carat cushion sapphire as a symbol at the turning point of a story, the moment when ordinary days become a shared forever.

The vivid color intensity will speak before words can, the blue itself functioning as a language of fidelity, calm, and depth. The transparency of the stone invites a kind of honesty, a clarity that mirrors the best parts of any relationship, while the very slightly included clarity grade reminds us that natural beauty often carries gentle, humanizing marks.
