1.19 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite oval blue sapphire from Ceylon is a rare opportunity for the collector who insists on authenticity and graceful beauty. Weighing 1.19 carat with dimensions of 7.00 x 5.48 x 3.91 mm, this transparent gem has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation while preserving the gentle, medium light blue tone that connoisseurs associate with Sri Lankan sapphires. Its clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a subtle hallmark of a natural stone that speaks to its unenhanced origin and individual character. The polish is excellent, and importantly there is no enhancement, making this piece an exceptionally honest example of Ceylon sapphire, a stone whose provenance and untreated nature place it in the quieter rarities sought by true lovers of fine gems.

For an engagement ring this sapphire is an elegant and intimate choice, suited to someone who values refinement over flash and provenance over trend. The oval outline lengthens the finger and reads beautifully in both classic solitaire and bespoke halo settings, while the 1.19 carat weight sits comfortably between presence and discretion, offering daily wearability with an unmistakable air of sophistication. The mixed brilliant cut ensures lively sparkle under candlelight and daylight, and the stone’s slight inclusions reinforce its natural story, an assurance that this is a genuine and unique treasure rather than a mass-produced imitation. At The Natural Sapphire Company we reserve such untreated Ceylon sapphires for discerning clients who prefer pieces that become personal heirlooms. Availability is limited, and each commission is treated as a bespoke experience, tailored to complement the stone’s proportions and color. If you are seeking an engagement gem that speaks of timeless commitment, individuality, and the privilege of owning something rare, this 1.19 carat oval Ceylon sapphire offers a quietly majestic promise.
