1.21 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.21 carat cushion shape blue sapphire from Ceylon is the answer for a buyer who wants natural beauty, strong presence, and absolute confidence in origin and treatment, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this transparent, eye clean gemstone with dimensions of 7.16 x 6.25 x 3.07 mm, a mixed brilliant cut to maximize sparkle and life, vivid color intensity for immediate visual impact, and excellent polish for mirror like facet reflections. Because this stone is untreated, the rich, lively tone you see is the stone itself, not the result of heat or dye, which makes it a perfect choice for an engagement ring that must carry meaning, for a collector who values provenance and natural state, and for anyone who wants a sapphire that reads as honest and unmistakable in direct light and indoor settings. The cushion cut softens the geometry, offering a romantic silhouette on the finger while the mixed brilliant pavilion returns light with a lively scintillation that complements the vivid blue hue.

When we compare its hue and tone to other famed sapphire localities, this Ceylon example shows the bright, medium to vivid cornflower leaning blue that Sri Lankan stones are renowned for, with a clarity and lively tone that differs from the plush velvety blue of Kashmir sapphires which tend toward a deeper, softer cornflower and a silkier texture, and from classic Burmese sapphires which often present a stronger, more royal blue with slightly greater depth and less brilliance on the surface. Compared with Madagascan sapphires, which can vary widely from inky to bright, this Ceylon stone sits confidently in a bright, vivid range that reads more luminous and open, rather than dark or grayish as many Australian and Thai stones can appear. For the buyer seeking a balance between vivid color, clarity, and natural, untreated origin, this sapphire offers the best of Ceylon character, a lively, clean blue that performs beautifully in both sunlight and candlelight. If you want assurance that your search ends here, The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind this gem, and we are ready to help you set this rare, untreated Ceylon sapphire into a timeless piece that answers your desire for authenticity, beauty, and enduring appeal.
