1.25 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.25 carat pear shape blue sapphire presents a combination of precise cutting and exceptional natural color, making it an excellent choice for a discerning collector. Measuring 8.68 x 5.80 x 3.32 mm, the stone has been faceted in a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and color distribution, allowing the vivid color intensity to communicate across the crown while preserving depth through the pavilion. The clarity grade is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which means that under normal viewing conditions the gem reveals no inclusions that distract from its visual purity. The polish is excellent, which enhances light return and gives the surface a bright, lively finish. This sapphire is heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that improves tone and saturation without compromising structural integrity. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with lively, velvety blues that sit between velvety cornflower and deep ocean tones, and this example displays that signature Ceylon character in a size that still remains rare for stones with such clarity and vivid saturation.

Ethical sourcing and transparency are central to how we present this gem, and The Natural Sapphire Company maintains strict provenance controls and responsible sourcing practices to support a conscious consumer approach. The sapphire was sourced through channels that adhere to internationally recognized standards for ethical mining, and it comes with full disclosure of treatment and origin, allowing buyers to make informed decisions. For the conscious collector this gem offers durable everyday wearability with a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale, combined with long term aesthetic and potential investment value because of its color, clarity, and classic pear silhouette. The mixed brilliant cut makes it versatile for a variety of settings, from solitaire ring designs that emphasize color to pendants that showcase the teardrop outline.
