1.43 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for the ideal sapphire to complete an engagement ring that will be treasured for a lifetime, or if you are a collector seeking a fine example of classic Ceylon color, this stone answers your search with authority. This is a beautiful transparent 1.43 carat pear shape blue sapphire, faceted and cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and depth. It measures 7.91 millimeters long, 5.54 millimeters wide, and 4.15 millimeters deep, a size that reads substantial on the finger while still offering elegant proportions for a pendant or bespoke setting. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is very very slightly included, the color intensity is intense, and the polish is excellent, all attributes that translate directly into vivid life and lasting presence in the jewelry you create. The stone has been heat treated, a traditional and accepted enhancement that refines color and clarity while preserving the natural character and provenance of the gem, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with luminous, velvety blue tones. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand what you are looking for, whether your priority is a standout center stone for an engagement ring, a meaningful anniversary gift, or a rare addition to a carefully curated collection, and this sapphire stands ready to fulfill those needs.

Beyond specifications and measurements, this sapphire carries with it a heritage that connects modern wearers with centuries of reverence for blue sapphire. From ancient royalty who prized Ceylon specimens for their regal hues, to clergy and scholars who wore blue sapphires as symbols of wisdom and protection, sapphires have long been associated with fidelity, truth, and authority. The pear shape itself is steeped in meaning, offering a graceful teardrop silhouette that has been favored in traditional jewelry for its ability to elongate the finger and to combine the elegance of a rounded form with the drama of a tapered point. In many cultures sapphires were believed to protect the wearer from envy and harm, and stones from Sri Lanka were particularly sought after for their clarity and pure, luminous color. When you choose this Ceylon sapphire, you are not only selecting a piece of exceptional beauty, you are continuing a lineage of craftsmanship and symbolic significance that has made blue sapphires indispensable in heirloom pieces and in the most meaningful commissions through the ages.

As a working jeweler and consultant at The Natural Sapphire Company I picture this pear shaped sapphire set as the center of a timeless solitaire with a tapered shank to emphasize its shape, or embraced by a delicate halo to amplify its intense color and perceived size. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes return of light, giving flashes of brilliance from the crown facets while preserving depth through the pavilion, and the excellent polish ensures those flashes are crisp and lively in every lighting condition. For an engagement ring you might choose a classic four prong setting to display the stone plainly, or a modern bezel with a subtle milgrain edge to balance protection with style, and as a pendant the teardrop profile will sit elegantly at the hollow of the throat, catching light with every movement. The stone’s dimensions and carat weight make it versatile, a jewel that photographs beautifully and wears comfortably while feeling significant. Our team can advise on metal choices and complementary diamonds, or create a fully bespoke mounting that honors the sapphire’s Ceylon heritage with design cues that echo traditional motifs without sacrificing contemporary wearability.
