1.39 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite Ceylon blue sapphire carries the calm grandeur of a stone that has been treasured for centuries, a 1.39 carat oval gem that measures 7.39 by 5.39 by 3.89 millimeters. Cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both sparkle and depth, the sapphire is transparent with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that allows light to dance from every facet. At eye level the stone is very, very slightly included, a characteristic that affirms its natural origin while preserving superb clarity and presence. This gem has been heat treated to refine its hue in the tradition of modern lapidary care, a practice that respects the stone while enhancing the qualities admired since antiquity. The oval silhouette and precise proportions make this sapphire ideally suited to a classic solitaire ring, an elegant pendant, or a bespoke heirloom setting that will be passed down through generations.

The history of Ceylon sapphires reads like a chronicle of royalty and devotion, stones mined from ancient alluvial deposits that have adorned crowns, temple offerings, and protective talismans. For centuries blue sapphires have symbolized wisdom, virtue, and guardianship, worn by rulers and sages who believed that the mind could be calmed and the spirit fortified by their deep blue light. This particular gem from Sri Lanka embodies that legacy, offering a timeless aesthetic that bridges ceremonial tradition and refined contemporary design. From a ceremonial signet to a quiet daily companion the sapphire will carry the weight of history while adapting to the wearer modern life. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that lineage through careful selection and ethical stewardship, and we are pleased to present this Ceylon sapphire as a piece that speaks of heritage, permanence, and enduring beauty. If you seek a stone that connects past and present while promising generations of admiration this sapphire is an exceptional choice.
