1.34 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent heart shape blue sapphire weighs 1.34 carats and measures 5.69 by 6.36 by 4.76 millimeters, a proportion that yields a depth of approximately 79 percent relative to its average diameter. The stone has been cut to a mixed brilliant configuration, with a brilliant-faceted crown paired to a precision-modified pavilion, producing a dense network of small facets that enhance scintillation and maintain strong light return across the heart outline. The cutter has maintained a well-defined cleft and symmetrical lobes, preserving the classic heart silhouette while maximizing table size for a commanding face-up appearance. The polish is graded excellent, resulting in crisp facet junctions and minimal surface distortion, and the overall symmetry supports clean, lively facets when viewed in typical jewelry settings.

Color characteristics are medium intensity blue with an even distribution across the table, consistent with sapphires of Ceylon origin, and the transparency permits internal light travel that accentuates the mixed brilliant facet pattern. Clarity is very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone exhibits only minor, well-dispersed internal characteristics that do not impede brilliance or color saturation when mounted. Importantly, this sapphire is unenhanced, with no heat or other treatments reported, which in combination with its Sri Lankan provenance increases its rarity and appeal to connoisseurs seeking natural material. At 1.34 carats and with these optical properties, the gem offers a pronounced presence for a single-stone design, maintaining a balance between face-up size and depth that favors visual impact without excessive windowing.

For a statement piece, this heart sapphire performs exceptionally, its mixed brilliant cutting maximizing sparkle while the very slightly included clarity preserves a clean face-up field suitable for open prong or bezel settings that showcase the heart motif. The dimensions and excellent polish allow this gem to read larger on the hand or as a pendant focal point, and its untreated Ceylon origin provides a collectible quality that appeals to informed buyers. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this heart-shaped sapphire as a technically refined choice for a distinctive solitaire or bespoke design, combining precise cutting, natural color, and notable clarity to create a memorable center stone.
