1.54 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This one beautiful transparent 1.54 carat oval shape blue sapphire measures 7.56 x 5.59 x 4.40 mm, and is cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance face up color with lively brilliance. The gem presents a vivid color intensity, a highly sought after hue for Ceylon sapphires, and an excellent polish that maximizes light return and surface luster. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating minor internal characteristics that do not detract from the gem at typical viewing distances, while the transparency remains excellent. Enhancement is heat treated, a commonplace and stable treatment that intensifies color and improves clarity when disclosed, and the documented origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires with vibrant blue tones and strong market desirability. At The Natural Sapphire Company we ensure full disclosure of treatments and origin, and we select stones where the combination of cut, color, clarity, and polish deliver both visual appeal and long term value.

From a connoisseur perspective this sapphire is rare in two important ways, size and color. At 1.54 carats many Ceylon sapphires with comparable vivid saturation are found in smaller sizes or with less consistent color distribution, making a well colored oval of this dimension increasingly uncommon. The mixed brilliant cut here has been executed to retain weight while opening the stone to display a dynamic, vivid blue that is uniform across the table, which is a distinguishing quality relative to many stones that exhibit zoney color. For an educated buyer, the slightly included clarity grade is an acceptable and often preferred trade off, because it preserves more natural material and stronger color saturation than aggressively cleared stones. The documented Sri Lankan origin adds provenance, and The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem with transparent grading details so you can compare it to other sapphires in certified reports. This stone is ideal for a high color, classic engagement setting or a bespoke piece where color dominance is the priority, and with routine jeweler recommended care it will remain a striking and rare example of Ceylon blue sapphire for generations.
