1.56 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This sapphire began its journey beneath the ancient soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a place where gem bearing gravels have been worked by hands guided by generations. In those riverbeds and shallow pits small crystals are revealed by patient miners who know how to read the land, and this stone carries the quiet memory of that place. The light blue tone of this gem speaks of tropical skies and clear waters, and its provenance links it to a storied tradition of sapphires that were prized by kings and travelers alike. At The Natural Sapphire Company we trace each gem with care, and this piece arrives to you with its natural character intact, no enhancement, and an authenticity that only Ceylon origin can provide. The knowledge of who recovered the rough, and how it was selected for cutting, becomes part of the stone story, adding value beyond carat weight because collectors and connoisseurs prize traceable, untreated sapphires from this historic source.

What you hold is a transparent 1.56 carat oval blue sapphire, measuring 7.60 x 6.50 x 3.99 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to capture both scintillation and depth, with an excellent polish that allows light to play across its facets. Its clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean to casual observation, while the tiny natural inclusions confirm its authenticity. The color intensity is very light, a delicate blue that will sit beautifully in a refined setting where nuance is desired. Because it is untreated, its color and clarity are wholly natural, a trait that enhances both its rarity and its emotional value. Imagine this gem set in a fine ring or pendant, where the mixed brilliant cut will dance in daylight and the Ceylon origin will provide a conversation that ties the jewelry to landscape, culture, and history. If you seek a sapphire with a clear lineage and honest beauty, this stone embodies those qualities, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company will be pleased to advise on settings and care to preserve its story for generations.
