1.38 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.38 carat pear shape blue sapphire awaits the collector who understands the language of fine gems, its dimensions precisely 9.85 x 4.90 x 3.92 mm, cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style to marry scintillation with elegant form. The long, graceful teardrop silhouette concentrates light toward the pointed tip and the rounded base, offering a locomotive of fire and a whisper of blue that changes with every tilt, the excellent polish revealing crisp facets and a clarity described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, inclusions that confirm this as a natural gem while allowing an open, luminous appearance. Color sits in a delicate range of light intensity, a pure Ceylon blue that reads as cool and fresh in daylight and softly romantic under evening lamp light, the transparency amplifying the gem tone and the mixed brilliant faceting creating an inner conversation of flashes and reflections. This sapphire has been carefully heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement widely practiced to bring the stone to its best possible appearance, and the result is a jewel that wears like a whisper of sky, perfectly proportioned for an intimate engagement ring, a refined pendant, or a bespoke fine jewelry commission from The Natural Sapphire Company.

This sapphire carries the weight of island history and the quiet authority of gemstones that have been prized for centuries, its origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a place where sapphires have been traded, treasured, and set into royal regalia since antiquity. In the long sweep of cultural use, Ceylon sapphires were bestowed as talismans of protection, symbols of divine favor in Buddhist and Hindu rites, and marks of noble status in courts and temples, a lineage that lends any modern setting a sense of continuity and reverence. Owning this pear shaped stone is to accept an invitation into that history, to wear a single bright note of island earth and human craft that connects you to centuries of lapidary skill and ceremonial significance. The Natural Sapphire Company sources and curates gems with that narrative in mind, offering stones that are not merely pretty but historically resonant, each one a chapter in a much larger story of gem cutting, trade routes, and the quiet rituals that have always surrounded the best sapphires.

Availability of a stone with these particular measurements, weight, cut, and Ceylon provenance is limited, a reality that frames this sapphire as a rare offering for the discerning client who seeks something both personal and exclusive, a gem that will not be easily replicated or replaced. For the collector who intends to design a bespoke piece, the pear silhouette and light blue hue respond beautifully to settings in platinum or 18 karat white gold for a crisp, modern statement, and they take on a soft, vintage warmth in 18 karat rose gold for those who prefer a romantic glow, while a delicate bezel or a slender prong setting will protect the point and display the length elegantly on the finger or at the throat. At The Natural Sapphire Company we provide detailed documentation and expert commentary on provenance, treatments, and gemological characteristics, and we are happy to assist with custom mounting recommendations, hand sketching, and private viewings so that the setting becomes a true continuation of the gem rather than an afterthought. If you seek a stone that embodies craftsmanship, heritage, and a measure of rarity, this 1.38 carat Ceylon pear shaped sapphire is a considered choice, a discreet yet unmistakable signature for someone who values history, quality, and an exclusive jewel that will be treasured for generations.
