1.39 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are moments in life that deserve a jewel that speaks with clarity and heart, a gem that becomes part of a story you will retell with a smile. This 1.39 carat pear shape blue sapphire is one of those gems, transparent and alive, measuring 9.70 x 4.93 x 3.78 millimeters, cut to a mixed brilliant style that balances scintillation with depth. The stone shows a medium color intensity that is quintessentially Ceylon, a classic hue that whispers of oceanic depths and tropical skies. The clarity is very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which means the gem looks clean and pure to the eye while retaining the natural fingerprint that makes it unique. The polish is excellent, every facet crisp and reflective, and crucially, there is no enhancement, so what you see is the genuine beauty straight from Sri Lanka. When you choose a gemstone from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing provenance, integrity, and the kind of natural rarity that becomes an heirloom. I want you to imagine this pear shape balanced on a finger or set as a pendant, the point drawing the eye and the rounded end offering a soft glow, a jewel that moves with the wearer and kindles private smiles as light touches it.

Under direct sunlight the sapphire wakes with vivid, cool tones that feel both lively and elegant, the medium intensity blue revealing layers within the stone that shift from bright cornflower blue to a richer ocean blue as the gem turns. The mixed brilliant cut is designed to catch small, quick flashes of light, so in bright daylight you will notice a lively scintillation that dances across the facets, bright pinpoints of light contrasted with velvety planes of deeper blue. In diffused daylight on an overcast day the color becomes plush and soulful, the transparency allowing light to travel through the stone and emphasize its inner depth, giving it a glowing, almost liquid quality. When the sun is low, the longer rays create dramatic facet reflections along the pavilion and crown, turning that pear silhouette into a subtle arrow of color that draws attention without shouting. The excellent polish ensures that each reflection is clean and sharp, so whether the wearer is walking in a sunlit garden or standing under the soft canopy of a balcony, the sapphire will sing with quiet confidence and refined brilliance.

Indoors under artificial light the sapphire reveals another side of its personality, one that feels intimate and memorable. Under warm incandescent or halogen lighting the medium blue softens and deepens, becoming more velvety and romantic, ideal for evening dinners and candlelit moments where the gem seems to hold the warmth of the room inside its facets. Candlelight and other soft flame light will coax subtle shifts in tone, the stone gently alternating between a cool inner core and a glowing outer edge, creating a sensation of living color that mirrors the warmth of affection. Under cool LED or fluorescent lighting, the mixed brilliant cut plays differently, returning brighter, brisk flashes of lighter blue from the crown facets, while the deeper pavilion zones sustain a sense of depth. In spotlight conditions the sapphire will exhibit crisp, concentrated scintillation, those quick lively flashes that catch the eye across the room and promise a story worth discovering. The absence of enhancement is especially meaningful here, because the color behavior you experience is authentic, a natural conversation between light and mineral that few enhancements can replicate.

Beyond its technical virtues this pear shape blue sapphire is a vessel for emotion, a companion for milestones and small daily joys alike. It is durable enough for everyday wear, intended to be worn and loved, yet refined enough to mark the most important moments, whether you choose it for an engagement, a birthday, or as a private indulgence. The very very slightly included clarity gives the gem a realness that feels comforting, like a cherished photograph with a soft grain that proves it was lived in. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish ensure that the stone will perform beautifully in every light, a constant reminder that beauty can be both lively and deep, spontaneous and enduring. When you select this sapphire through The Natural Sapphire Company you are placing a natural, unenhanced gem against the skin, a jewel that will age gracefully with your memories and reflect the changing lights of your life. I invite you to imagine how this stone will look with your favorite outfits, how it will catch the light at your next celebration, and how it will become part of the gestures and memories you make.
