1.20 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.20 carat oval blue sapphire is a superb example of natural Ceylon material, with precise dimensions of 6.52 x 4.93 x 4.55 mm, a mixed brilliant cut, and transparent clarity. The clarity grade is very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which means inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem when worn, while still providing natural origin confirmation to an educated buyer. The color intensity is described as intense, and this saturation produces a vivid pure blue that remains lively under varied lighting. The excellent polish and the mixed brilliant facet arrangement deliver strong light return and scintillation, optimizing both face up brilliance and depth of color. Crucially for collectors and connoisseurs, this sapphire has no enhancement, making it a rarer and more valuable example of Ceylon origin, and its provenance from Sri Lanka places it in a long established tradition of world class sapphires prized for their combination of color and transparency.

For custom jewelry the proportions and shape of this stone are particularly advantageous, and the elongated oval silhouette adapts easily to a wide range of creative settings. At 1.20 carat the gem sits in a versatile sweet spot for engagement rings, pendants, and three stone compositions, offering a presence on the finger without appearing oversized. The mixed brilliant cut balances a reflective crown with a well cut pavilion, which helps maintain durability when set and enhances the optical performance in open prong, bezel, or halo designs. Because the sapphire is unheated and unenhanced, designers and clients seeking a natural statement piece will find it especially attractive, and its eye clean appearance reduces the need for protective settings while still allowing secure bezel options for active wearers. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can assist in visualizing mounting options that complement the intense Ceylon blue and the oval geometry, and we can provide certified documentation of the gem details. For a buyer who values documented origin, natural state, and a cutting style that maximizes both brilliance and wearability, this sapphire represents an exceptional choice for a bespoke commission.
