1.52 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.52 carat pear shaped blue sapphire from Ceylon offers a rare combination of delicate color and precise craftsmanship, dimensions of 8.39 x 5.43 x 4.64 mm that create an elegant elongation and balanced profile, a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation while retaining pleasing depth, and a clarity described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level that translates to exceptional transparency and presence when set. What immediately sets this stone apart is its untreated origin, no enhancement, a quality increasingly uncommon in the market where heat treatment and other enhancements are widespread. The faint color intensity is a signature of fine Ceylon material, a soft cool blue that reads as refined and versatile rather than aggressive, and with excellent polish every facet edge is crisp, so light moves through the stone with lively return and a silky, airy glow. In hand or on the finger the pear shape acts as both a focal point and a flattering silhouette, whether positioned point up for a classic solitaire, point down for a contemporary engagement look, or used as a pendant where the mixed brilliant pattern will play with light as the wearer moves.

Compared with many sapphires available today this gem offers distinct advantages in quality, value, and uniqueness, many stones at similar weights are either heavily treated to deepen color, or cut in fashion that emphasizes weight retention over optical performance, while this sapphire retains both an honest weight and a cutting style intended to unlock brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut combines the fire of a brilliant facet arrangement with the elegance of a modified pavilion, so when compared to traditional step cuts or generic brilliant rounds that can lack personality, this pear presents dynamic flashes of light and a depth of life that makes it a centerpiece. Clarity grades reported as very very slightly included at eye level indicate that the stone will appear clean to most observers without the need for magnification, and this eye cleanliness is a major selling point when choosing a sapphire for heirloom pieces, as it maintains both aesthetic appeal and resale value. The untreated Ceylon origin contributes provenance and rarity, collectors and connoisseurs recognize Ceylon stones for their delicate blues and lively tones, a look that remains fashionable and historically valued, providing an advantage over stones that achieve color uniformity only through treatment.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize gemstones that combine natural beauty with meticulous cutting and ethical sourcing, and this pear sapphire exemplifies that commitment. Our gem specialists selected this example for its rare mixture of faint, pure blue tone, eye level clarity, and superb polish, attributes that make it ideal for high impact settings where the gem becomes the central statement. In practical terms the dimensions of 8.39 x 5.43 x 4.64 mm make it exceptionally well suited to a variety of settings, from refined three stone engagement rings to solitaire pendants that showcase the stone as the star, and cabochon like color saturation will respond wonderfully to a subtle halo or a clean bezel, depending on whether you prefer amplified presence or minimalist modern lines. Beyond appearance the fact that this sapphire is untreated means it will age gracefully, with its natural color and internal character preserved, a trait that matters for those who view fine gemstones as generational pieces rather than trendy accessories, and when compared to many alternatives this untreated Ceylon sapphire represents both an emotional and financial investment in authenticity and enduring beauty. If you seek a centerpiece that balances rarity, craftsmanship, and wearable elegance, this pear shaped 1.52 carat Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a compelling choice.
