1.60 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When a gem arrives at The Natural Sapphire Company that seems to hold a piece of the ocean and the sky within it, we pause and take note, because such moments are rare. This is one of those moments. Here is a single, transparent blue sapphire weighing 1.60 carat, cut into a refined oval shape, with measurements of 7.40 x 5.90 x 4.32 mm. Its mixed brilliant cut has been executed to bring forward a whisper of sparkle that is at once delicate and arresting. The color sits in a light intensity that allows light to play through each facet, and the clarity has been graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a mark that tells the story of authenticity rather than artificial perfection. There has been no enhancement of any kind to alter its natural beauty, and its polish is excellent. For collectors and connoisseurs who understand that true rarity is not loud but quietly confident, this sapphire offers an opportunity to own something genuinely unaltered, something that speaks to the discerning few.

The journey of this gem began in the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a land whose name has been synonymous with exceptional sapphires for centuries. Local miners found the rough in narrow alluvial deposits that have yielded sapphires of subtle and complex color for generations. Each rough crystal goes through an initial assessment in the field, where experienced hands recognize stones with the potential to become the kind of gem described here. From there, the rough was taken to a master cutter who works with an eye honed by years of experience with Ceylon material. The decision to fashion this stone into an oval with a mixed brilliant pavilion was made to preserve weight while maximizing optical performance. The cutting process was deliberate and conservative, each facet planned to respect the natural crystal form and internal character, ensuring the resulting gem would remain free from heat treatment or clarity enhancement. This careful stewardship from mine to cutting table preserved both the provenance and the integrity that collectors prize.

Under loupe and in daylight this sapphire reveals its virtues. The mixed brilliant cut creates a lively dance of light across the table and through the crown, producing flashes that are subtle and refined rather than gaudy. At 7.40 x 5.90 x 4.32 mm the stone sits beautifully in proportion for a solitaire ring or a bespoke pendant, large enough to be admired, discreet enough to feel intimate. The clarity graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level means that inclusions do not dominate the gem, yet they remain a testament to natural formation, a fingerprint of the earth that adds character and confirms authenticity. The light color intensity renders the blue with an airy, almost ethereal quality, suitable for patrons who seek a calm and sophisticated presence rather than an overt statement. The excellent polish ensures that touch and sight are equally rewarded, every surface reflecting light with a smooth, glass like finish. No enhancement confirms that what you see is exactly how nature intended, every nuance and subtlety intact from its birth in Ceylon to its current form.
