1.29 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the rarefied world of fine gemstones few pieces carry the quiet authority and refined presence of a Ceylon sapphire like this one of a kind example from The Natural Sapphire Company. Imagine the moment when a deep blue light catches at the tip of a pear shape and draws the gaze, a moment that says that something special has arrived. This transparent 1.29 carat pear shape blue sapphire commands attention without shouting, its proportions calibrated to offer a graceful drop of color that flatters any setting. The gem feels curated, not mass produced, the sort of jewel that is reserved for discerning collectors and for the person who values scarcity and story as much as brilliance. Owning this sapphire is an invitation into an exclusive handful of connoisseurs who appreciate provenance, craftsmanship, and the emotional resonance of a gemstone sourced from one of the most storied regions for sapphires on earth.

When you examine the stone up close you will recognize the careful choices that make it special, starting with its dimensions, 8.01 by 6.10 by 3.83 millimeters, a size that translates into a comfortable presence on the hand or at the throat, noticeable yet elegant. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to balance scintillation and depth of tone, allowing flashes of lively blue to dance across a vivid color intensity that is characteristic of fine Ceylon sapphires. Clarity is assessed as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that to the unaided eye this gem reads as a pristine window of blue, while a gemmologist finds natural inclusions that confirm authenticity and origin. The polish is excellent, the surface caressing light and releasing it smoothly, and as with many natural sapphires the enhancement is heat treated, a standard practice that intensifies color while preserving the integrity of the stone. The origin, Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is a lineage of gems known for their vivid and lively blues, and this sapphire carries that heritage in every facet.

As a gift this sapphire has the capacity to become a defining moment in a life, the jewel that is remembered when anniversaries and milestones are told again and again. Pear shapes read as romantic, their tapered silhouette suggesting both classical elegance and modern edge, so this piece makes a striking gift for someone special who appreciates both beauty and thoughtful provenance. Picture a bespoke ring crafted so that the point of the pear faces inward along the finger, elongating the hand with a subtle grace, or imagine the same stone set as a pendant, catching light near the heart with every movement. Because this is a singular stone, its presentation is inherently personal, it will not be easily matched or duplicated, and that rarity creates a deeper emotional value than a mass produced alternative. When you give this sapphire you are giving a narrative, you are giving a tangible connection to place and craftsmanship, and you are giving a keepsake designed to be worn, cherished, and eventually passed down.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we treat a purchase like this as more than a transaction, it is the beginning of a relationship centered on trust, expertise, and careful stewardship of an exceptional gemstone. We provide full disclosure on treatments and origin, and we stand ready to advise on custom settings that will enhance the sapphire without overpowering its natural character. For those who wish to commission a bespoke mount we can recommend classic or contemporary designs that complement the pear shape and the vivid blue tone, whether in warm yellow gold for a timeless contrast, in cool white gold or platinum for modern refinement, or in a mixed metal design for those who favor a personalized statement. Availability of stones of this caliber is limited, and the combination of size, cut, vivid color, and Ceylon origin makes this particular sapphire especially rare in the market. If you are considering this piece as a gift for a loved one, a symbol of commitment, or an addition to a curated collection, we invite you to reach out to our specialists, who will assist with secure sourcing, certification options, and tailored presentation choices that reflect the exclusivity of the gem. Owning this sapphire means joining a small circle of individuals who invest in remarkable gemstones, and The Natural Sapphire Company is honored to guide that choice.
