1.22 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When it comes to choosing a gemstone that truly stands out in terms of quality, value, and uniqueness, our 1.22-carat oval-shaped blue sapphire deserves particular consideration. A significant factor that establishes this gemstone as a premium choice is its specific weight of 1.22 carats, which offers an ideal balance between elegance and presence. Unlike smaller sapphires that may not catch the eye with the same authority or larger ones that might be impractical or overly conspicuous for some customers, this carat weight meets a perfect middle ground that appeals to a broad spectrum of tastes and preferences. Its dimensions of 7.13 x 5.17 x 3.99 mm testify to its beautifully proportioned silhouette, allowing it to be a focal point that seamlessly fits in various types of jewelry settings, from rings to pendants.

In a market teeming with blue sapphires of varying origins and qualities, this particular gemstone, with its origins in Ceylon (Sri Lanka), is advantageous in more ways than one. Ceylon has long been celebrated for producing sapphires with richly saturated hues and unmatched depth, characteristics that are impossible to replicate elsewhere. Our sapphire boasts an intense color intensity that makes it not just attractive, but also memorable, thus setting it apart from sapphires that originate from other regions where the quality may not meet the same exceptional standard. While sapphires are available from locations like Thailand or Madagascar, none carry the prestigious reputation associated with Ceylon sapphires. When choosing this gem, you are not simply acquiring a stone, but making an assured investment in a rich heritage that elevates its worth and desirability considerably.

The technical specifications further highlight the superiority of this sapphire in the crowded market of precious stones. The mixed brilliant cut of the sapphire is expertly executed to provide maximum reflection, enhancing its natural brilliance and luminous allure. Compared with sapphires with standard cuts, this cutting style allows light to interact with the sapphire in dynamic ways, enriching its vibrant blue hues that dance under even the most modest light conditions. Additionally, the clarity grade of very very slightly included shows the sapphire's pristine condition, as these inclusions are only visible upon a trained inspection. This is an aspect where many ordinary sapphires fall short, as higher inclusion visibility can deter rather than captivate an observer's eye.

Ultimately, the exceptional polish of our blue sapphire cannot be understated. An excellent polish further amplifies its desirability by ensuring a mirror-like surface with breathtaking luster. This characteristic alone accentuates its beauty, making the gemstone a stunning statement piece. Choosing our sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company places you among a discerning clientele who value not just the visible beauty but also the reputation and careful craftsmanship behind every gemstone we offer.
