1.20 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A singular expression of refined taste, this remarkable 1.20 carat marquise blue sapphire arrives from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and it carries with it the quiet authority of true natural beauty, offered through The Natural Sapphire Company. Measuring 9.87 x 5.10 x 3.25 mm, the elongated marquise silhouette commands attention with a poised elegance that flatters the hand and anchors any bespoke design. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, this gem balances scintillating facet play with a classic outline, allowing light to travel through its transparent body and return in flashes of deep and shifting blue. The sapphire is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a clarity character that preserves clarity and sparkle while remaining a testament to its natural origin. With medium intense color intensity and an excellent polish, and with no enhancement, this stone offers the authentic, unaltered color and presence that discerning collectors prize.

In any jewelry setting this sapphire will become the definitive focal point, its medium intense blue casting a presence that both complements and elevates surrounding metals and diamonds. Set in platinum or white gold, the cool tones will sharpen and modernize the blue, creating a luminous channel of color that reads refined and restrained. Placed against yellow gold, the same blue will appear richer and more saturated, the warm metal providing contrast that amplifies the sapphire like a jewel in a frame. Rose gold introduces an intimate, vintage atmosphere, softening the edges of blue and lending the gem an inviting, romantic glow. The marquise profile, narrow and articulate, elongates the finger, and when orientated east west in a contemporary design, it offers a chic and unexpected silhouette. When embraced by a halo of delicate diamonds, the sapphire will flicker with intensified fire, each surrounding facet reflecting and reawakening the sapphire color. Alternatively, a bezel setting will emphasize the stone as a modern talisman, highlighting the facets and secure craftsmanship, while three stone or vintage filigree designs will celebrate its provenance and classical poise.

The fabric of this sapphire is where rarity and desirability converge. Its transparent nature and mixed brilliant cut maximize light return, creating lively sparkle despite the stone maintaining a naturally modest profile, ideal for those who value discretion paired with distinction. The very very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level means that the gem reads clean and pure to the naked eye, a subtle reminder of its natural formation rather than an imperfection. Excellent polish ensures facets are crisply defined, each plane acting like a mirror to magnify color and movement. As an untreated gem with no enhancement, it is an authentic Ceylon treasure, a possession that speaks to meaningful provenance and conscientious sourcing. Owning this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an achievement in taste, a declaration that you value heritage, natural splendor, and the enduring language of fine gemstones. Whether envisioned as a solitary statement ring, an heirloom pendant, or the center of an exquisite bespoke commission, this marquise blue sapphire will stand out in any setting, becoming a personal emblem of refined style and lasting distinction.
