1.26 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional transparent blue sapphire presents a rare combination of size, color, and untouched provenance, a gem that speaks to collectors and designers who demand the very best. Weighing 1.26 carat, this radiant shape stone measures 7.93 by 4.33 by 3.55 mm, and it carries an intense blue hue that is both vivid and complex. Cut to a radiant facet architecture, the stone balances scintillation and depth, allowing light to travel through each precision plane and return a lively play of blue tones. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means that under casual inspection the surface remains visually clean, while the modest natural inclusions testify to the stone origin and natural formation. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long celebrated for producing sapphires with a particular softness and velvety intensity, and importantly this sapphire has no enhancement, a truly rare attribute in today market, with an excellent polish that enhances its brilliance and makes the stone ready to be set without further modification.

The radiant shape and the specific dimensions of this sapphire make it an ideal candidate for bespoke jewelry, offering flexibility that standard shapes cannot match. The elongated rectangular profile reads elegantly on the finger when set vertically or horizontally, creating a modern yet timeless aesthetic that flatters both solitaire and halo designs. At 7.93 by 4.33 mm the stone has enough surface area to command presence in a statement ring, while remaining refined enough to pair with side stones for a custom engagement ring that feels both intimate and distinguished. For pendants and bespoke earrings the depth of 3.55 mm gives a pleasing pavilion that refracts light and maintains a balanced silhouette when mounted, while the radiant cut facets provide crisp geometry that complements contemporary settings and classic craftsmanship alike. Designers will appreciate how the cut allows for creative metalwork, from bezel settings that protect the corners, to open gallery constructions that maximize brilliance, to custom channel or bar settings that highlight the stone long axis.
