1.45 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.45 carat pear shaped blue sapphire presents refined proportions and precise finishing, ideal for an engagement ring that emphasizes both presence and wearability. The stone measures 9.65 x 5.20 x 3.44 mm, and is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that balances table brilliance with scintillation along the curved pavilion. Clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which ensures visual transparency while retaining natural character. The sapphire exhibits intense color intensity with even saturation throughout the stone, and an excellent polish that produces crisp facet junctions and strong light return. Enhancement noted is standard heat treated, a stable and widely accepted practice that enhances tone and clarity without compromising structural integrity. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with lively blues and fine crystallographic quality.

As an engagement option this pear shaped Ceylon sapphire offers a marriage of durability and elegance, corundum being one of the hardest gem materials, suitable for everyday wear. The pear outline combines the classic appeal of a round brilliant with a tapered profile that flatters the finger and adapts to a range of settings, including solitaire, halo, and three stone designs, or a bespoke mounting that secures the tapered point while highlighting the mixed brilliant cut. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem as a straightforward, well specified choice for a center stone, providing clear technical details for informed selection. The combination of 1.45 carat weight, intense blue tone, excellent polish, and eye clean appearance makes this sapphire a compelling alternative to traditional diamonds for an engagement ring, offering color, resilience, and refined proportions that suit both modern and timeless design sensibilities.
