1.25 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a single drop of twilight captured and polished into a jewel, a tiny ocean of blue that seems to hold sky and sea in its depths. This exquisite round shape blue sapphire weighs 1.25 carat, measuring 6.66 by 6.66 by 3.52 millimeters, and arrives from the ancient gem lands of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. From the moment it touches the light it tells a story, a slow and luminous poem, its tone vivid and unwavering. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this stone as both a treasure and a promise, a piece that will anchor memories and mark moments. Transparent and captivating, it glows with an inner fire that draws the eye and stills the heart.

The soul of this sapphire is its mixed brilliant cut, a refined geometry that marries the lively sparkle of a brilliant facet arrangement with the brilliance of a modern table, creating a balanced interplay of scintillation and depth. Each facet has been shaped and polished with care, the angles harmonized to orchestrate flashes of light that dance like starlight on water. The excellent polish enhances this choreography, allowing light to enter freely and return with a singing clarity. In the hands of a skilled setter this gem becomes a centerpiece, commanding attention whether worn in a solitaire ring that speaks of quiet confidence, or nested in a halo that magnifies its blue like a frame around a miniature sky.

Clarity is a quiet virtue with this stone, it is transparent and carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a whisper of natural character that does nothing to dim its luminous appeal. Viewed in the everyday light of life it reads as eye clean, a pure tone untroubled by visible marks, and yet those minute natural signatures remind you that this is a creation of earth and time. The vivid color intensity is immediate, a saturation that feels both noble and alive, neither flat nor overly dark, but vivid in a way that seems to glow from within. Combined with the mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish the result is an object that looks larger than its 1.25 carat weight might suggest, as depth and lightwork create an illusion of space and motion within the stone.

We are transparent about the care that brings out such beauty, this sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement used to refine tone and clarity, a treatment that is universally accepted in the gem world when fully disclosed. Its origin in Ceylon lends it a provenance that reads like a romance, an island of sapphire blue where tea terraces slope toward the sea and old mining towns remember centuries of skilled hands. Ceylon sapphires are prized for their lively hues and expressive color, and this gem carries that legacy with a modern precision. Whether chosen for an engagement ring that will be passed through generations, or for a personal jewel that marks a life chapter, the stone offers both story and endurance, ready to be set and worn with confidence.

Envision this sapphire in a design that lets it breathe, set in warm yellow gold to coax out glowing, sunlit notes, or in cool platinum to sharpen the blue to a crystal midnight. Picture it catching candlelight at a dinner, turning every head with a discreet yet undeniable authority, or lying quietly at dawn against linen, recalling the sea. At The Natural Sapphire Company we guide you through settings that honor the gem and the intent you bring to it, crafting a ring or pendant that makes this sapphire the living heart of a collection. If you seek a singular piece that is at once poetic and precise, a jewel that reads like a love letter and wears like a promise, this Ceylon round sapphire stands ready to become your centerpiece.
