You have been searching for a sapphire that feels like the end of a long and careful hunt, a stone that answers both the heart and the eye, and this 1.42 carat oval shape blue sapphire meets that desire with quiet confidence. At 7.53 by 5.82 by 3.97 millimeters this gem sits in the sweet spot between presence and wearability, large enough to make an impression as a center stone and refined enough to sit comfortably in delicate settings. The mixed brilliant cut brings together the best of light performance and classic elegance, allowing flashes of brilliance to dance across its table while retaining the depth and character unique to sapphires from Ceylon Sri Lanka. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is described as very slightly included, which means the stone appears transparent and lively to the naked eye, and those tiny natural features simply serve as proof of its authenticity. The color shows a medium intense color intensity, a vivid and lively blue that reads as both regal and modern under different lighting, and the excellent polish enhances every facet, ensuring smooth reflections and a tactile finish that feels as luxurious as it looks.

The journey of this sapphire from mine to market is a story of careful choices and respectful craft, and it is one that The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to tell. This gem began its life in the famed alluvial fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where generations of miners have learned to read the riverbeds and the earth beneath them, recovering rubies and sapphires that have defined the world of colored gemstones for centuries. After extraction the rough sapphire was carefully evaluated by experienced gemologists, who recognized the potential in its crystal form and color distribution. With transparency and integrity, any enhancements were declared up front, and this sapphire received a standard and stable heat treatment to improve its tone and clarity, a time honored and accepted practice in the trade that brings out the best in natural stones without compromising their origin. Skilled cutters then shaped the rough into an elegant oval and applied a mixed brilliant cut, balancing pavilion facets for sparkle and crown facets for color depth, followed by an exacting polish that achieved an excellent finish. Throughout this process the stone was handled by trained professionals and documented by The Natural Sapphire Company, so you can trace its path from the Sri Lankan fields through cutting and finishing to its final presentation, a transparent record that shows our commitment to ethical sourcing, clear communication, and meticulous craftsmanship.
