1.35 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.35 carat pear shaped blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a finely cut, transparent gem that balances classic elegance with everyday practicality, weight, dimensions, and finish are all optimized for a striking engagement ring. The stone measures 7.61 x 5.39 x 4.41 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut merges pavilion facets designed for light return with a faceted crown that enhances surface scintillation. The color shows vivid intensity, a saturated blue that reads lively in both daylight and incandescent lighting, and the excellent polish maximizes luster and optical performance. Clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, meaning any inclusions are minor and do not detract from the gem when worn, they are characteristic of natural sapphires and are often only evident under magnification. This sapphire has been heat treated, a standard, stable enhancement used to improve color and clarity throughout the trade, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with distinctly vibrant blue tones.

For an engagement ring this sapphire is an ideal choice for several practical and aesthetic reasons. The pear shape flatters the finger, creating an elongating silhouette that suits a variety of setting styles from solitaire to halo, and the 1.35 carat weight offers presence without overwhelming daily wear. Sapphire rates nine on the Mohs hardness scale, so it is exceptionally well suited to an everyday symbol of commitment, resisting scratches and retaining polish with normal care. The mixed brilliant cut provides lively brilliance and depth, while the very slightly included clarity preserves the natural character of the gem without compromising visual appeal. Because provenance, treatment, and cut quality all contribute to long term value, our gem specialists at The Natural Sapphire Company are available to discuss setting options, comparative grades, and to provide documentation on origin and treatment, ensuring you choose a durable, beautiful center stone that will perform beautifully both visually and symbolically for many years.
