1.55 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite 1.55 carat oval greenish blue sapphire is a study in timeless elegance and premium quality, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, and it bears the noble provenance of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Weighing precisely 1.55 carats, this gem occupies a coveted place between dainty refinement and unmistakable presence, making it ideal for a classic engagement ring or a distinguished pendant that will be treasured for generations. The stone is completely natural with no enhancement, a rare and desirable attribute that speaks to authenticity and enduring value, and it carries the legacy of centuries of Ceylonese mining where some of the world most celebrated sapphires have been unearthed. For the collector who values provenance as much as beauty, this sapphire represents a direct link to the storied history of Ceylon gemstones, a lineage that includes regal ornaments and heirloom jewels passed down through royal houses and families who prized deep, saturated sapphires for their symbolism of wisdom and protection.

Measured at 7.99 by 5.90 by 3.64 millimeters, the oval outline of this sapphire offers a flattering silhouette that elongates the finger and complements a wide range of settings, and the mixed brilliant cut has been expertly executed to balance scintillation with depth. The dark color intensity creates a dramatic, velvety face up appearance, while subtle greenish blue tones lend complexity and character that change with the light, revealing cooler blue facets and richer green undertones in different viewing angles. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, which in natural stones often enhances their individuality, while transparency remains very good and the gem reads as beautifully transparent in hand. An excellent polish further refines the optical performance, allowing light to glide across the facets and produce a pleasing interplay of brilliance and depth, a hallmark of premium cutting and finishing work you expect from The Natural Sapphire Company.

Beyond its measurements and gemological attributes, this sapphire carries with it the historical resonance of Ceylon sapphires, stones that have been mined and admired for centuries, and that continue to symbolize tradition, faithfulness, and refined taste. Ceylon sapphires historically featured in princely regalia and ceremonial adornments, chosen for their saturated hues and durable nature, and this 1.55 carat example continues that lineage, offering the kind of classic appeal that transcends trends. The durability of corundum makes sapphire an ideal choice for daily wear, ensuring that a carefully set and maintained piece will become a family treasure, an object that accrues stories and sentiment over decades. For those who value legacy and prefer designs that are as meaningful as they are beautiful, this sapphire is a perfect candidate to be the centerpiece of a ring, brooch, or pendant designed in a traditional style, where the stone will be framed with settings that emphasize its oval form and deep, rich color.

When considering this sapphire for a bespoke commission, practical details enhance its desirability, and we at The Natural Sapphire Company are ready to assist with every step, from design to completion. The stone is unheated and unenhanced, which simplifies certification and offers collectors assurance about its natural state, and its dimensions and mixed brilliant cut make it versatile for classic four or six prong rings, bezel settings for a vintage look, or a halo design that balances prominence with refined elegance. Care for sapphire is straightforward, a gentle warm soapy bath and a soft brush will maintain its polish and brilliance, and routine inspections of the setting will ensure the stone remains secure for generations.
