1.21 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the ancient alluvial terraces of Ceylon to the careful hands of master cutters, this 1.21 carat asscher octagon blue sapphire carries a story as deep as its hue. Mined in Sri Lanka, the crystal began life under heat and pressure over millennia, a formation of corundum that later revealed its rich, dark color intensity when gently heat treated to bring out the pure blue tones that collectors cherish. Cut into a refined asscher octagon, measuring 6.20 x 6.12 x 2.94 mm, the stone is a study in geometry and light, with precise step facets and an excellent polish that lend the gem an elegant, internal depth. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, the clarity allows for a near transparent presence that reads as dignified and substantial, while the darker saturation gives the sapphire a commanding, almost velvety appearance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we respect this journey from earth to gem, and we present this sapphire as a ready canvas for timeless jewelry, a piece that holds its origins and its provenance in every facet.

This sapphire is especially suited to custom settings that celebrate its asscher form and intense blue, and our design team can adapt it to a range of jewelry expressions, from a classic solitaire ring that honors the octagon symmetry, to a refined halo that frames the center with delicate diamonds for contrast. Consider a three stone design for a symbolic engagement ring, a low bezel mount for modern everyday wear, or east west orientation in a contemporary cocktail ring that plays with lines and light. As a pendant, the stone becomes a quiet, powerful focal point, and as matched studs or a bespoke pair of drop earrings it pairs beautifully with white gold, yellow gold, or platinum. For menswear, the sapphire makes an elegant signet or cufflink, and designers often incorporate pave shoulders, channel set accents, or open gallery work to enhance sparkle and stability. Every setting can be personalized through metal choice, setting style, and complementary stones, and our craftsmen at The Natural Sapphire Company will guide you through sketches, CAD renderings, and hand finishing so your finished jewel reflects the sapphire s origin, its cut, and the personal narrative you wish to carry forward.
