1.20 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.20 carat emerald cut blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka offers a clarity and color combination that stands apart from many market alternatives, making it an exceptional choice for collectors and bespoke jewelry. With precise dimensions of 6.60 x 5.50 x 3.19 mm and an emerald cut that emphasizes linear facets and depth, this sapphire presents a clean, architectural profile that contrasts with the more common mixed cuts and round brilliants found elsewhere. The intense color intensity and excellent polish deliver a vivid, even blue that outperforms many heat treated or lower clarity stones in visual impact. Because this gem has received no enhancement, its natural saturation and tone are rare in untreated material, offering superior long term value compared to many treated sapphires of similar appearance.

Beyond its visual strength, this sapphire carries subtle inclusions that function as natural fingerprints, adding provenance and character rather than detracting from beauty. Evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distances, the stone may contain fine, internal features visible only under magnification, such as microscopic mineral crystals, thin internal growth lines, or faint platelets, each one recording the stone formation environment deep in the earth. These inclusions confirm that the gem is natural and untreated, and they provide a unique internal map that gemologists and future owners can reference to authenticate the stone. Compared to fully flawless synthetic sapphires, which lack these natural identifiers, this Ceylon gem offers authenticity and a story, with inclusions that are a mark of origin rather than a flaw.

When you choose this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company you are selecting more than a pretty stone, you are choosing verified origin, uncompromised color, and classic cut quality that shows better on the hand than many stones that appear similar in catalog images. Its emerald cut keeps the blue concentrated and elegant, making it ideal for sophisticated ring settings where clarity and color are paramount. For customers comparing options across origins and treatments, this untreated Ceylon sapphire delivers a combination of rarity, natural character, and enduring beauty that represents excellent value and enduring appeal.
