1.49 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a sapphire that combines immediate visual impact with long term elegance, weight matters, and this 1.49 carat blue sapphire delivers exactly what serious buyers look for, without compromise. At 1.49 carats this stone occupies a highly desirable sweet spot, large enough to command attention as the centerpiece of an engagement ring or a signature pendant, and refined enough to sit comfortably in a custom design that will be worn every day. The round shape measures 6.44 by 6.48 by 4.76 mm, a proportion that reads balanced and substantial in hand, and the mixed brilliant cut maximizes fire and scintillation while preserving the stone mass you paid for. Transparency is excellent, the polish is graded excellent, and the overall presence of this gemstone is that of a premium quality sapphire, perfectly suited to customers who want a meaningful carat weight paired with superior cut and finish from a trusted source.

Quality is not only perceived by size, it is made clear by the internal clarity and the origin that shape its character. This sapphire is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity grade that translates into a visually clean gem for everyday wear, with inclusions that do not distract from the vivid play of light. The color intensity is very light, offering a soft, watery Ceylon blue that reads as fresh and elegant, and that particularly flatters both white and warm metal settings. Origin matters when you want a story behind the stone, and this sapphire hails from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing sapphires with refined, luminous blues that collectors and designers prize. Enhancement disclosure is straightforward, this sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted process that improves color and clarity without diminishing the integrity of the gem, and the result is a stone that presents as clean and lively under natural and artificial light.

For the shopper seeking a perfect engagement center or a collector wanting an exceptional addition, the 1.49 carat weight combined with the technical specifics of this sapphire answers both practical and emotional needs. The mixed brilliant cut produces a dynamic surface that reflects light in a precise pattern, giving the stone a lively, sparkling character that makes the carat weight feel visually larger than the scale alone would suggest. The dimensions of 6.44 by 6.48 by 4.76 mm mean that this gem sits prominently on a finger, shown in the accompanying scale images, while maintaining a comfortable profile because of its balanced depth. Designers and customers will appreciate the ease with which this round, well proportioned stone can be set as a solitaire for maximum presence, or framed with a halo to amplify its visual impact, and the very very slightly included clarity ensures that the visual field remains clean and captivating without the need for compromise.
