1.23 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped bluish green sapphire begins its story deep in the alluvial gravels of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where generations of miners have quietly turned riverbeds into treasure maps. From the famous gem fields near Ratnapura, this stone was recovered with the patient expertise that has defined Ceylonese gemcraft for centuries, a place where sapphires were once gifts to kings and safeguards of good fortune. The crystal arrived to our workshops with a clarity that spoke of a calm geological history, and under magnification revealed only very slight inclusions when evaluated at eye level, a testament to its natural integrity. At 1.23 carats the stone is remarkably transparent, and its bluish green hue carries the living depth and ocean edge quality that collectors prize in Sri Lankan material, an intense color that shifts with light and mood.

In the hands of our master cutters the rough took on a pear silhouette, dimensions refined to 7.37 x 5.88 x 3.94 mm and faceting executed as a mixed brilliant cut, chosen to harmonize color with sparkle and to make the most of the gem s natural light return. The finish is an excellent polish, and the piece has undergone enhancement through heat treatment, a standard and stable process that deepens tone and clarity while preserving the stone s inherent character. As a fully described offering from The Natural Sapphire Company this sapphire is more than a single gem, it is an heirloom ready to enter a high end collection, versatile enough to center a bespoke ring or to be archived as an investment grade specimen. For the collector who values provenance and story alongside gemological excellence, this Ceylon sapphire melds historical significance, meticulous craftsmanship, and visual poetry into a solitary jewel that will elevate any curated assemblage.
