1.45 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape blue sapphire weighs 1.45 carat, and it presents a transparent, intense blue hue that is immediately eye catching. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this stone carries the classic saturation and lively tone associated with well formed Sri Lankan material, and it has not been subjected to any enhancements. The cutting style is faceted, executed in a mixed brilliant cut, which contributes to a balanced interplay of scintillation and color depth when viewed face up. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, and these natural inclusions are consistent with an untreated sapphire from a primary source, they do not detract from the gem, rather they attest to its natural provenance. The polish is excellent, and the overall finish reflects careful lapidary work, which preserves the integrity of the pavilion and the grace of the pear outline. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire as a well specified option for clients seeking an untreated, well cut center stone with character and enduring appeal.

The dimensions measure 7.50 x 5.80 x 4.31 mm, which places the gem in a size range that is both practical for everyday jewelry and substantial enough to serve as a focal point in more intricate designs. The mixed brilliant cut emphasizes a bright, lively face up appearance, with a precise arrangement of facets that conserve weight while maximizing brilliance. The intense color intensity reads as vivid blue under a variety of lighting conditions, and the balance of tone allows the stone to remain legible against both white and warm metal settings. Slightly included clarity at the eye level indicates internal features that can anchor a design visually, and with the excellent polish, light return is strong and reflections remain crisp. The pavilion depth of 4.31 mm supports structural stability and contributes to a well proportioned silhouette in the pear shape, and the faceting pattern maintains symmetry from the pointed tip through the rounded base.

The pear shape itself makes this sapphire particularly suitable for custom jewelry applications, because the elongated teardrop form is inherently versatile, and the size offered here is ideal for a wide range of settings. The length to width ratio is approximately 1.29, which yields a balanced, classic pear profile that works well as a solitaire in a ring, as the central gem in a pendant, or as the drop stone in a pair of refined earrings. At 7.50 mm long, the stone provides visible presence without dominating a delicate mounting, and the 5.80 mm width ensures a comfortable fit in bezel and prong styles alike. The pointed end allows directionality in design, enabling designers to emphasize verticality on a finger, or to orient the stone point down for a pendant silhouette that elongates the neckline. The moderate depth permits secure prong placement around the girdle, and for clients who prefer protection at the vulnerable tip, a well designed V prong or partial bezel will safeguard the point while retaining brightness.

For custom commissions, this sapphire pairs effectively with warm and cool metals, due to its intense but balanced blue. White gold and platinum will emphasize the gem s brilliance and cool undertones, while yellow and rose gold will create a rich contrast that can warm the perception of the blue, offering a vintage inspired aesthetic. Accent stones can be chosen to complement, rather than compete with, the primary color, white diamonds providing crisp contrast, and soft pastels such as champagne sapphires or light diamonds lending a layered, tonal composition. From a wearability perspective, corundum is a hard and durable material, suitable for everyday settings with reasonable care, and the lack of enhancement simplifies long term maintenance and reassures clients regarding stability of color. Routine cleaning with a soft brush, warm water, and mild detergent will restore surface luster, and professional setting checks are recommended periodically. The Natural Sapphire Company provides detailed provenance and assessment information for this stone, supporting custom design conversations and ensuring that the gem s characteristics are fully understood before mounting. For clients and designers pursuing a refined, natural sapphire centerpiece, this pear shape stone offers a reliable, elegant foundation for bespoke work.
