1.25 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This GIA certified blue 1.25 carat round sapphire presents as a transparent, precisely proportioned gemstone, measuring 6.08 x 6.05 x 4.33 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes light return. The stone displays a vivid color intensity and an eye clean clarity grade as evaluated at eye level, and it has an excellent polish which contributes to its lively face up appearance. The sapphire is heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement in the trade, and its documented origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing richly hued blue sapphires. The Natural Sapphire Company includes the GIA report with this gem, providing laboratory verification of its weight, measurements, cut style, clarity observation, color description, and treatment disclosure.

These attributes combine to make this sapphire well suited to become a generational heirloom, beginning with its fundamental durability and enduring appeal. Sapphire is a corundum mineral second only to diamond in hardness, which allows it to withstand everyday wear and to retain its proportions and polish over decades when set and serviced correctly. The round mixed brilliant cut and eye clean clarity allow for classic settings that can be adapted across generations, from solitaire rings to family heirloom pendants or bespoke mounts designed to accommodate changing tastes. The GIA certification and documented Ceylon origin establish provenance and technical provenance records, which simplify future appraisals and transfers between custodians. Routine professional cleaning, occasional reproofing of the mount, and safe storage will preserve the stone, while the stability of the heat treatment means its color will remain consistent with normal use. When entrusted to successive generations, this sapphire can carry both aesthetic longevity and verifiable documentation, making it a piece that is practical to wear, straightforward to insure, and meaningful to pass on, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem with the reports and handling guidance that support its role as an enduring family treasure.
