1.31 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The transparent 1.31 carat oval-shaped blue sapphire you are considering is a true testament to the allure and rarity that fine gemstones have represented throughout history. At an exact size of 6.19 by 5.67 by 5.41 mm, this sapphire is masterfully crafted with a mixed brilliant cut, a style that maximizes scintillation and lustrous beauty. A tribute to the world’s most celebrated sapphires, such as the famed Logan Sapphire, our piece combines meticulous precision in cutting with inherent natural beauty, bringing forth a gemstone that shines with an elegance reminiscent of royal jewels. Known for their superior coloration and unparalleled transparency, sapphires originating from Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka, hold a prestigious position in the gemstone world, cemented by the sapphire's historical associations with the upper echelons of society.

The clarity of our featured blue sapphire is graded as very slightly included, carefully evaluated at eye level, guaranteeing a visually striking appeal without the need for magnification. This clarity signifies minute inclusions, a typical hallmark of authenticity in natural sapphires, yet none that detract from the gemstone’s brilliance or richness of color. The medium intense color intensity provides a vibrant hue, reminiscent of the oceans surrounding its island origin. This balance of color depth and transparency is synonymous with the most esteemed blue sapphires in the world, making this piece especially desirable to the discerning connoisseur. The excellent polish of the sapphire further enhances its natural luster, contributing to its beautiful interaction with light, and making it an exemplary representative of the enduring allure of Ceylon sapphires, which have been coveted treasures since ancient times.

In comparison with historical blue sapphires, the Logan Sapphire stands as an apt comparison to appreciate the unique value that our offering from The Natural Sapphire Company holds. While the Logan is celebrated for its massive size and museum-quality allure, our sapphire is distinguished by its accessibility tailored to the private collector with uncompromised standards. The appeal of Ceylonese sapphires lies in their cornflower blue tone, a hue so distinctive and exquisite that it has become synonymous with the quintessential sapphire appearance in the gemstone industry. The mixture of geological factors local to Sri Lanka gives rise to these unique color saturations and optical clarity, bestowing collectors with gemstones almost poetic in their creation. With our attention to factual detail, we ensure the distinguished purchaser is rewarded with the assurance of gemological authenticity.

For an educated buyer, this sapphire’s unique combination of qualities represents an outstanding investment not only in monetary terms but in historical value and aesthetic sophistication.
