1.40 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A singular expression of timeless elegance, this transparent cushion shaped blue sapphire weighs 1.40 carats and measures 6.46 by 5.83 by 4.11 millimeters, an ideal size for a center stone that announces refinement without ostentation. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, each facet has been calibrated to balance depth with scintillation, the result a liveliness that breathes through a dark, velvety blue that is both dramatic and supremely wearable. The clarity reads as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, delivering a clean visual field that lets color and cut take center stage, while an excellent polish produces mirror like facets that catch the light with a steady, sophisticated flash. Heat treated to enhance stability and tone, and sourced from the legendary gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries provenance as rich as its hue, a narrative that The Natural Sapphire Company is honored to present to the discerning collector.

Beyond its immediate beauty, this sapphire is conceived as an heirloom in waiting, a piece designed to be cherished across generations. As corundum, its rank of nine on the Mohs scale ensures enduring resilience against the daily rhythms of life, while the classic cushion silhouette and the enduring allure of Ceylon blue ensure relevance in every era. The gem’s proportions and mixed brilliant cutting maximize durability and light performance, so whether set in platinum for a modern statement or in warm 18 karat gold for a heritage piece, it will sit confidently on a finger or pendant for decades. Owning this stone from The Natural Sapphire Company is not merely a purchase, it is a declaration of refined taste and stewardship, an opportunity to begin a legacy that will be handed down as proof of good judgment, good taste, and a life well celebrated.
