1.38 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This rare GIA certified Blue sapphire is a discreet treasure for the collector who demands both provenance and presence. At 1.38 carat and fashioned into a classic round shape, its proportions of 7.08 by 7.04 by 3.92 mm are balanced to offer an impressive face up appearance without compromise. The mixed brilliant cut marries scintillating table and crown facets with lively pavilion reflections, and the excellent polish ensures each facet edge returns crisp light. Evaluated as eye clean at eye level, this transparent Ceylon Sri Lanka sapphire presents a vivid color intensity that reads as a pure, deep blue with lively saturation, and it carries the expected enhancement of heat treatment that stabilizes and enriches its hue. From The Natural Sapphire Company this is not a mass produced stone, it is a singular example of Sri Lankan gemmology, offered with GIA documentation and a provenance that places it among a small group of stones suited for bespoke commission work.

How it performs in light is where this sapphire truly reveals its nuance. In bright daylight and open shade the vivid blue announces itself as a cool, saturated tone with strong blue fluorescence on movement, producing lively blue flashes and a steady white brilliance from the mixed brilliant facet pattern. Under warm incandescent or candlelight the stone tends to show a slightly warmer depth, the blue taking on a velvety richness while the polished facets throw soft, romantic sparkle. Under LED and gallery lighting its excellent polish and precise facet junctions create brisk scintillation and crisp white flashes that frame deep blue windows, ideal for modern settings where contrast and fire are prized. In lower light the transparency allows the core color to remain perceptible, offering dramatic, inky blue presence that anchors a piece without appearing flat. When set by The Natural Sapphire Company into a custom design, orientation and mounting will be chosen to maximize light entry and motion, ensuring this uncommon Ceylon sapphire performs brilliantly in every environment, and offers the owner a discreet yet unmistakable symbol of exclusivity.
