Product description

One beautiful transparent 1.28 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka presents itself with an immediately arresting presence, and this gem from The Natural Sapphire Company combines classical charm with modern precision. Measuring 7.44 by 5.27 by 4.12 mm, its proportions are ideal for a striking face up appearance while still fitting comfortably into rings and pendants. The mixed brilliant cut balances flashes of scintillation with broad color windows, and the excellent polish maximizes light return from every facet. Evaluated at eye level as eye clean, the clarity allows the vivid color intensity to sing without interruption, and the transparency emphasizes depth and saturation in a way many commercial stones do not achieve. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance the blue tone, a standard and stable practice in fine sapphires, executed here to reveal the truest expression of the stone without masking its natural character.

When comparing this Ceylon sapphire to other market options, a few advantages stand out clearly. Compared with Kashmir and Burmese material, which can command extreme premiums for rarity, this Ceylon sapphire offers a similar velvety and vivid blue at a much more accessible value, making it a better choice for collectors and buyers who want superior color without the prohibitive cost. Compared with stones from Madagascar or Australia, which can sometimes lean towards inky or greenish tones, this gem maintains a pure and lively blue that reads as jewel tone in all lighting. Against lab created sapphires, this natural gem wins on uniqueness and provenance, every tiny variation in growth and color telling a story that cannot be reproduced in a factory. Against other colored gemstones such as tanzanite or spinel, the sapphire scores higher on daily wearability and long term durability, while offering a classic palette that pairs easily with both white and yellow metals.

Beyond immediate aesthetic comparisons, the enduring value of this sapphire is rooted in its physical and optical qualities, which ensure its natural beauty will continue to captivate over the years. Corundum rates nine on the Mohs scale of hardness, second only to diamond, making it resilient to everyday wear and abrasion, and the excellent polish helps to protect and maintain its brilliant surface. Heat treatment performed by skilled lapidaries is known to be stable and permanent under normal conditions, so the vivid color intensity you see today will persist through decades of use and through changes in fashion. The mixed brilliant cut optimizes both brilliance and color, meaning that as stones trend and settings change, this sapphire will continue to offer strong sparkle and a deep, lively hue, ensuring that it looks as compelling in future settings and for future generations as it does today.

For anyone seeking a sapphire that combines the allure of Ceylon origin, the practical benefits of eye clean clarity, and the visual impact of vivid blue color, this 1.28 carat oval from The Natural Sapphire Company stands out in the current market. Its measurements and cut make it versatile for classic solitaires and contemporary halo settings, and its balance of rarity, beauty, and value positions it as a smart long term investment in wearable art. When choosing a gemstone that will be admired daily and treasured for decades, this sapphire offers an exceptional combination of provenance, polish, and permanence, a choice that promises to remain captivating and relevant through changing trends and the passage of time.
