1.58 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet sea of blue held within this single stone, a cushion shaped blue sapphire that feels like an old love letter folded into a gem. At 1.58 carats it sits with the confident hush of something meant to be worn and treasured, measuring 7.72 by 5.97 by 3.96 mm with a mixed brilliant cut that sends light ricocheting across its deep unending color. Its blue is vivid and alive, the sort of blue that seems to contain both twilight and the thread of a morning after a long night, and the excellent polish lets each facet sing with clarity. This sapphire hails from Ceylon in Sri Lanka, a place whose earth has been known to yield gems that carry a history in their hue. It has been gently heat treated, a traditional enhancement that deepens the tone and unlocks the stone s inner poetry, and when you hold it you can feel the craftsman s hand and the patience of nature working together. From The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem as more than a jewel, as a small landscape of light and memory waiting to become a vow, a keepsake, a story.

To speak of its inclusions is to read the fingerprint of the earth, to recognize the tiny signatures that make it uniquely itself. This sapphire is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means that its internal marks are whisper small, subtle in the face of brilliance, yet present enough to tell a true tale. These are not flaws to erase, but certainties that root the stone to place and time, delicate feathers and pinpoints that look at times like the mapped veins of a leaf, at times like distant stars caught beneath the surface. They prove that this is a natural creation, a record of the stone s journey under heat and pressure, and they add a soulful depth to its vivid color. Under magnification the inclusions reveal a personality, a fingerprint of Ceylon that links the sapphire to its Sri Lankan origin, and because they are gentle and sparse they allow light to dance unhindered. Inclusions become a secret language between the wearer and the gem, the small marks that assure you of authenticity, the fine character lines that make each sapphire a singular companion.

Imagine this cushion sapphire set into a ring, resting above the skin like a small pool of deep sky, the mixed brilliant cut catching sun and candlelight alike. On the hand shown in our images it reads as both intimate and commanding, a perfect center for a bespoke engagement setting or an heirloom piece that will soften and brighten with every touch. The dimensions of 7.72 by 5.97 by 3.96 mm give designers a generous canvas on which to play with halo or bezel, with delicate prongs or a modern floating mount, and the vivid color intensity ensures that every choice will be framed by that unforgettable blue. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to imagine this stone as the beginning of your own story, ready to be set, worn, loved, and passed on. If you listen closely you can hear the quiet promise in its facets, the small, resolute voice that says this is real, this is rare, this is meant for someone who knows the language of light and the meaning of forever.
