1.25 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine the moment when a true blue from the heart of Ceylon catches the light, and a memory is born. This transparent 1.25 carat round shape blue sapphire measures 6.60 x 6.61 x 3.64 mm, and it is cut to sing with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth. The gem shows a medium color intensity that feels like a perfect morning sky, the clarity grade reads very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent, allowing each facet to mirror emotion and movement. This sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, a natural treasure from Sri Lanka, and when set into a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings it becomes a promise that carries meaning beyond its sparkle. Hold it close and imagine how its cool, clear blue will become part of the story you wear every day, a small jewel that somehow makes ordinary moments feel ceremonial and special.

The way this Ceylon blue complements skin is a love letter to contrast and harmony, a palette of possibilities for every tone and undertone. On fair skin with cool undertones the medium cornflower blue reads bright and pure, a crisp accent that brings out porcelain clarity and lends a refined, sophisticated presence. For fair skin with warm undertones pairing this sapphire with a thin bezel or delicate prongs in yellow gold will warm the blue slightly, creating a cozy glow that feels timeless and intimate. On medium and olive complexions the sapphire looks particularly lush, the blue deepening into a vibrant, velvety hue that harmonizes with golden and neutral undertones alike, making the gem feel as if it was always meant to be there. For darker skin tones the contrast is breathtaking, the medium intensity blue appearing luminous and regal, a jewel that asserts itself with confidence and elegance. Choosing white metals such as platinum or white gold will accentuate the sapphire s cool clarity, while yellow or rose gold will introduce warmth and romantic depth, and each metal choice rewrites the emotion the gem conveys, from modern cool to vintage romance.

When you set this beautiful sapphire into jewelry you are not only choosing a gem, you are creating a legacy. A solitaire ring makes the round mixed brilliant cut the hero, an intimate keepsake that catches every glance, while a halo of tiny diamonds will amplify its sparkle and give the blue a celestial halo, lifting its radiance in candlelight and sun. A simple pendant lets the blue rest at the throat like a private talisman, close enough to be touched, visible enough to start conversations that matter. Because this sapphire is natural and untreated, its origin in Ceylon adds a story of place and tradition, a connection to generations of craftsmanship, and when offered as a gift it speaks of authenticity, thoughtfulness, and the kind of love that grows steadier with time. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand how a single stone can change how a person feels about themselves, and we take pride in presenting stones that are honest, beautiful, and emotionally resonant, stones that become part of anniversaries, proposals, and quiet daily rituals. Let this 1.25 carat Ceylon sapphire be the beginning of a new memory, a color that flatters the skin, a cut that dances with light, and a promise that lasts.
