1.56 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent bluish green sapphire of 1.56 carats, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, offers an immediate sense of discovery and refined elegance. This gem comes to life in a fancy shape with precise dimensions of 6.85 x 6.93 x 3.93 millimeters, making it ideally suited for a personal ring or a carefully curated collection. The step cut gives the stone an architectural appeal, with clean planes and well defined facets that create a calm and sophisticated light return. Certified as bluish green, and originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire shows the classic island character that collectors and romantics alike seek. Its transparency and intense color intensity invite a closer look, and the excellent polish enhances every edge and facet so that this stone reads like a jewel and a miniature work of art at once.

The color is the soul of this sapphire, and its bluish green tone is saturated enough to be striking, yet versatile enough to wear every day. Under natural light the stone reveals a complex interplay of deep teal, ocean blue, and lively green, a palette that shifts gently with movement and angle. The step cut emphasizes the depth of color, allowing light to travel through the gem in even planes that highlight the interior glow rather than a flash of scintillation. Clarity is described as very slightly included at eye level, which means the stone remains visually clean and transparent to the unaided eye, while subtle natural inclusions can add character and authenticity when viewed under magnification. The sapphire has been heat treated, a time honored and stable enhancement used to bring out the finest color and clarity in corundum, and this treatment is permanent when cared for normally.

Beyond the initial beauty, this sapphire is a gem you will reach for again and again. The size and shape read beautifully in a variety of settings, and the stone looks particularly compelling when set as a centrepiece engagement ring or as a solitaire on a pendant. Because the step cut creates strong, flat planes, settings that celebrate the stone edges work well, including bezel settings that showcase the shape, or open prong settings that allow light to enter and reveal the rich bluish green hue. For a modern and striking contrast choose platinum or white gold, for warmth and a vintage feel choose yellow or rose gold. The clean geometry of the cut also makes this sapphire ideal for bespoke designs that play with architectural motifs and mixed metal accents, a custom piece that will feel both contemporary and timeless.

Sapphires are known for their durability and their capacity to remain beautiful for generations, and this blue green stone is no exception. Corundum ranks high on the Mohs scale of hardness, which means it resists scratches and daily wear better than most gemstones. The excellent polish and the permanent nature of the heat treatment combine to ensure the color and finish stay consistent with normal use. Caring for this gem is straightforward, and with simple, regular maintenance it will continue to captivate over the years. Clean gently with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a soft cloth. Avoid exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme temperature shocks, and have the setting inspected periodically to ensure secure prongs or edges, especially if the sapphire is worn daily.
