1.44 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.44 carat asscher octagon blue sapphire measures 6.01 by 5.99 by 4.18 mm, and it combines precise geometry with notable presence for its size. The asscher cut presents broad step facets and a defined pavilion which emphasize depth and internal reflection, while an excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and smooth light return. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the minor inclusions do not interrupt the overall transparency or detract from the gem character when set. Color intensity is classified as intense, and the saturation and tone are characteristic of fine Ceylon provenance, reflecting the island origin of Sri Lanka. The stone has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement for sapphires, applied to optimize color and stability, and this treatment is disclosed and standard practice among quality gem sources. As presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire carries the technical attributes that are most relevant to designers and experienced buyers, including a measured carat weight, exact dimensions, cut type, clarity description, polish quality, enhancement disclosure, and geographic origin.

The vibrant intense blue of this asscher sapphire is the defining aesthetic quality that will make it stand out in any jewelry setting, from a restrained solitaire ring to a refined three stone composition or a formal pendant. The stepped geometry of the asscher cut creates a sequence of mirrored planes that concentrate the vivid blue into distinct flashes, delivering a sense of depth and a subtle play of light that complements both warm and cool metal palettes. In platinum or white gold, the color reads as a striking pure blue with strong contrast, while in yellow or rose gold the tone gains warmth and richness without losing clarity. The stone size and proportions are well suited to bespoke designs where the gem is intended to be the visual anchor, and the excellent polish supports optimal brilliance under varied lighting conditions. For customers seeking a sapphire that combines technical soundness with a compelling, intense hue, this Ceylon asscher offers a reliable basis for elegant and enduring jewelry, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company can provide further information on setting recommendations, matching stones, and certification upon request.
