1.38 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that speak in a language of history, and Ceylon sapphires have been speaking that language for centuries, their names woven into royal treasuries and sacred regalia, their blue tones associated with wisdom, protection, and noble purpose. This pear shaped 1.38 carat blue sapphire offers a direct line to that legacy, a compact monument to classical beauty that will carry its story forward through generations. The tapered teardrop silhouette evokes the elegant forms favored by ancient goldsmiths and modern designers alike, a shape that flatters the hand as a ring and catches the light with a poetry that is both deliberate and timeless. As stewards of fine sapphires, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem not as a fleeting fashion, but as an heirloom quality treasure, one that invites personal ritual and enduring admiration.

Measured at 8.13 by 5.50 by 4.08 millimeters, and expertly faceted in a mixed brilliant cut, this 1.38 carat sapphire balances presence with grace, offering a face up area that reads larger than its weight might suggest, and a depth that supports lively light return. The gem displays a medium color intensity, a tone that captures the storied Ceylon blue, bright yet complex, neither washed nor overpowering, an ideal canvas for the mixed brilliant faceting to articulate scintillation and sparkle. Clarity is described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a grade that speaks to natural origin and character, inclusions that are minor and that do not diminish the gem at typical viewing distance, while the excellent polish enhances surface brilliance and tactile refinement. This sapphire has undergone responsible heat treatment, a well established enhancement that stabilizes and improves color without compromising permanence, a standard practice in fine colored stones. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance known the world over for producing sapphires with a lively, velvety blue that collectors and connoisseurs prize for its heritage and identifiable charm.

Weight in carats is the single most immediate measure of a gem presence, and at 1.38 carats this pear shape sapphire represents a distinctly premium offering within its size category, a meaningful step above more common smaller stones, and often the ideal weight for a graceful solitaire or a refined three stone setting. The combination of this carat weight with Ceylon origin and mixed brilliant cutting yields a gem that reads as luxurious on the finger, while retaining classical proportion for settings that range from vintage inspired mounts to streamlined contemporary designs. For those who seek a stone with both historical resonance and everyday wearability, this sapphire answers in full, promising a luminous focal point that will wear comfortably and retain visual impact. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the selection and presentation of this gem, offering expert guidance on settings and custom design so that the 1.38 carat pear may be transformed into a ring or pendant that honors tradition and becomes part of a new family story.
