1.57 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet ocean held within this sapphire, a soft Ceylon blue that glows like moonlight on calm water, and each viewer feels the hush of something timeless. This is a transparent 1.57 carat oval blue sapphire, its dimensions seven point nine seven by five point nine one by four point zero four millimeters, shaped and polished to embrace light and memory. The oval silhouette leans toward classical romance, a gentle elongation that flatters the hand and draws the eye like a whispered promise, and the light color intensity gives the stone an airy, ethereal presence rather than a weighty drama. When you see it in person you will notice how the hue breathes, how pale cornflower tones deepen at certain angles, how the color seems both delicate and infinitely deep, and that quality makes it perfect for an intimate engagement, a cherished heirloom, or a piece that speaks in soft, enduring language. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select each gem for its soul as much as its measurements, and this Ceylon treasure carries the island sun in its heart, ready to become part of your story.

Beyond the numbers there is a provenance and a polish that matter, a lineage from the ancient alluvial beds of Sri Lanka to the skilled faceting studios that coax beauty from rough crystal. This sapphire is heat treated, a traditional and widely accepted enhancement that refines tone and clarity while preserving the gem core, and its clarity is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a whisper of natural character that adds authenticity and life. The excellent polish reveals every facet like a tiny mirror, and under each polished plane the light moves with intention, playing like a lover who knows the contours of a face. Because the gem is transparent and finely finished, inclusions remain private, tucked into the language of the stone rather than shouting against it, and that balance between natural identity and human artifice is precisely what makes this oval so captivating. We at The Natural Sapphire Company believe in celebrating both origin and enhancement, in honoring the hand of nature and the hand of the cutter, and this sapphire exemplifies that delicate partnership.

The sparkle of this gem is not an accident, it is geometry made visible, a choreography of facets arranged to catch, hold, and return light with an elegance unmatched by less considered stones. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the crown carries brilliant style facets that scatter light into a lively dance, while the pavilion and girdle are formed to add depth and contrast, allowing flashes of brightness to alternate with pools of color, creating scintillation that seems to breathe. The precision of each facet angle determines how rays enter, reflect within the crystal lattice, and exit as brilliant flashes, and sapphires, with their high refractive tendencies, reward careful cutting with a balanced return of light and color. This particular oval, with its measured proportions and an expertly executed mixed brilliant cut, has been shaped to maximize face up presence, to allow the pale Ceylon blue to remain luminous at arm s length, yet to reveal lively pinpoints of brilliance as you move. The excellent polish is decisive here, smoothing facets into true mirrors so that each return is crisp, each table reflection pure, and even the very slightly included clarity becomes part of the piece s narrative rather than a distraction. The result is a stone that seems to hold stars, not by accident, but by design, and when set it will throw playful, romantic light across skin and metal, a private fireworks show for the wearer.

Imagine, finally, this oval resting in a setting chosen with intention, a slender band of warm gold, a halo that echoes its light, or a clean bezel that favors the gem s contours, and every choice will reveal a new mood. Placed on a finger, this one point five seven carat Ceylon sapphire promises a conversation between hand and history, between present affection and ancient earth, and it will become both symbol and companion. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to consider how this transparent, slightly included, lightly colored, excellently polished gem might translate your feelings into something tactile and enduring. We stand ready to help you imagine settings, to advise on proportions, and to ensure that the sapphire is presented with the respect its origin and craftsmanship deserve. If you seek a stone that blends poetic light with precise structure, that offers a romantic, luminous presence without losing the authenticity of its natural story, this oval blue sapphire is waiting to be chosen, and its sparkle will be the quiet answer to many gentle questions about love and time.
