1.32 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this exquisite 1.32 carat radiant shape blue sapphire is a trophy for collectors and connoisseurs who seek the uncommon. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and heat treated to enhance its natural personality, this gemstone measures 7.12 by 5.17 by 3.97 millimeters, and has been masterfully fashioned into a radiant cut with an excellent polish. Its face up is defined by vivid color intensity, a deep cornflower to royal blue that remains saturated without veering towards darkness. The clarity has been graded as very slightly included at eye level, a testament to its exceptional transparency and visual purity, meaning only the most discerning microscope will reveal any internal features. This is not a mass produced stone, it is a singular jewel, an invitation to join a small circle of owners who appreciate provenance, precision cutting, and the quiet assurance of rarity.

The radiant cut of this sapphire has been chosen with intention, combining the bold, modern lines of a rectangular silhouette with a lively faceting pattern that maximizes brilliance and scintillation. Facets are arranged to catch and return light in a way that makes the gem feel alive, each table and pavilion plane working in concert to produce flashes of electric blue as the gem moves. With its dimensions of 7.12 by 5.17 millimeters, the stone sits beautifully on the finger, offering a substantial presence without overpowering. The excellent polish contributes to its mirror like surface, ensuring crisp reflections and an immediate sense of depth. Because inclusions are very slight and not apparent to the naked eye, the blue reads as a pure, uninterrupted field of color, making this sapphire ideal for settings that celebrate the stone itself, whether a solitary solitaire, a refined three stone composition, or a bespoke design crafted to emphasize the gem as the focal point.

How this sapphire performs under light is where its personality truly reveals itself, and where the expertise of The Natural Sapphire Company in selecting and presenting stones becomes evident. In bright midday sun, the vivid color intensity sings, the saturated blue appearing almost electric, with lively white flashes from the facet junctions that enhance perceived brightness and vitality. Under softer daylight, such as on an overcast day, the gem reads as a velvety cornflower blue, the depth of tone offering a serene, sophisticated presence. Warm incandescent light or candlelight coax a richer, warmer blue with subtle violet undertones that feel intimate and luxurious, the internal reflections softening into a luminous glow. Modern cool white LED light tends to emphasize the sapphire s vivacity, sharpening contrast between flash and color, and producing crisp scintillation that sparkles with every movement. In fluorescent light, the stone maintains its clarity and intensity, though the cooler spectrum can slightly reduce warmth, leaving a pure, jewel like blue that is exceptionally photogenic. The radiant cut ensures that regardless of the lighting source, the stone returns light efficiently to the viewer s eye, balancing brilliance with richness of color, and creating a dynamic presence that is never static.

Owning this sapphire is an act of joining an elite few who value authenticity and timeless style, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready to assist in transforming this rare gem into a bespoke heirloom.
