1.54 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a long and storied history behind every fine sapphire, and this pear shaped gem brings that heritage into a modern light. Originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka, a land whose name lives in the annals of gem lore, this sapphire carries with it the echoes of ancient trade routes, royal collections, and the patient craft of cutters and polishers who have refined the beauty of corundum for centuries. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate that lineage, offering stones that are not merely ornaments, but custodians of tradition. This transparent 1.54 carat pear shaped blue sapphire is a living example of that continuity, a gem that reads like a page from history while retaining the freshness of the present. Its shape recalls classic settings and icons, a silhouette that has adorned crowns and pendants alike, an enduring profile that speaks to those who value legacy and the quiet dignity of time honored design.

Measured precisely at 7.83 by 5.72 by 4.83 millimeters, this sapphire is cut to a mixed brilliant pattern that maximizes fire and scintillation while respecting the stone s natural character. The mixed brilliant cut allows the curved elegance of the pear outline to meet a faceting scheme that returns light with lively movement, giving the gem an inner life that shifts with every turn. Its clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in the world of natural sapphires is a hallmark of authenticity rather than a flaw. These small internal features tell the story of the gem s formation deep within the earth, and to the connoisseur they add depth and personality. The color is of medium intensity, a cool serene blue that evokes the clear skies and coastal moods of Sri Lanka, and the polish is excellent, offering a smooth reflective surface that accentuates the gem s transparency and brilliance. Importantly for the discerning buyer, this sapphire has undergone no enhancement. What you see is the stone as nature created it, from its crystalline origin to the final lap of the cutter s wheel.

The timeless nature of this sapphire lies not only in its origins, but in the way it will continue to captivate over the years and generations to come. Sapphires are corundum, one of the hardest minerals on earth after diamond, and this inherent durability makes them ideal companions for daily wear and for pieces destined to become heirlooms. The pear shape offers versatility, equally suited to a solitary pendant, an intimate ring, or an elegant pair of drop earrings, and the mixed brilliant faceting ensures that the gem will sparkle in varied lighting, maintaining its presence whether in daylight or candlelight. Slight inclusions that are visible only upon close inspection serve as subtle signatures of the gem s journey, reminding us that beauty is often intertwined with history. Over time, the depth of the blue may reveal new facets of its personality as it meets different settings and metals, and the fine polish will continue to reflect light with a clarity that invites admiration.

When you choose this Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company you are selecting a gem with provenance and character, a piece designed to become part of a personal or family narrative. Its moderate carat weight of 1.54 carats makes it substantial enough to command attention, yet intimate enough to be worn every day, carrying memories and rituals as the years pass. We take pride in sourcing and presenting stones that are honest and true to their origin, and this unenhanced blue sapphire is offered with that same commitment to integrity. With proper care such as occasional professional cleaning and careful storage, this gem will remain a luminous focal point for decades, perhaps centuries, offering the slow accumulation of meaning that turns a beautiful object into a treasured legacy. In its clarity and cool blue hue, in its pear silhouette and excellent polish, this sapphire is poised to captivate successive generations, a timeless companion from Ceylon to wherever it may travel, and a lasting testament to the enduring allure of natural beauty.
