1.55 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape sapphire weighs 1.55 carat, and measures 8.45 by 6.72 by 3.12 mm, presenting an exacting balance of length and width that suits both solitaire and halo settings. The stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style, with a calibrated arrangement of brilliant facets designed to maximize scintillation on the crown, complemented by selective step and chevron facets that preserve and deepen the blue body color through the pavilion. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, with minute internal features that do not compromise transparency or light transmission, and that serve as natural fingerprints of origin. The color displays intense blue saturation, a lively hue with strong chroma and an even distribution across the table and shoulders, characteristics that are consistent with fine Ceylon material. The polish is excellent across the culet, girdle, and facet junctions, and the symmetry is carefully controlled to ensure optimal light return and an even face up appearance. This sapphire is natural and untreated, no enhancement, which enhances its value to collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize provenance and integrity.

The provenance of this gem is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source revered for centuries for producing sapphires of historic importance in royal and devotional jewelry, including coronation pieces, temple offerings, and astrological talismans. The mixed brilliant cutting echoes traditional lapidary approaches that sought to balance brilliance with color preservation, a technique refined over generations in Sri Lankan workshops. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this stone with full documentation of its characteristics and origin, and our lapidary partners have retained the stone's natural properties while executing a modern faceting scheme that respects heritage aesthetics. For the buyer seeking a period inspired commission, an engagement ring with a strong color presence, or an investment grade collector piece, this 1.55 carat pear combines technical precision and historical resonance, ready to be set by skilled jewelers to best showcase its intense Ceylon blue and exemplary craftsmanship.
