1.60 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite heart shaped blue sapphire carries the quiet dignity of centuries, a gem that speaks to tradition and enduring devotion. Sapphires from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, have long been prized by royalty and spiritual leaders for their rare beauty and perceived protective qualities, appearing in crowns, talismans, and cherished family jewels. This transparent 1.60 carat heart shaped stone, measuring 7.34 x 8.05 x 3.73 mm, continues that lineage with a design that merges classic symbolism with refined gemcutting. The heart silhouette evokes love and legacy, while the vivid blue color intensity recalls the deep maritime blues celebrated in historical Ceylonese sapphires. For those who value heirloom quality and the stories stones carry through generations, this sapphire is a graceful bridge between past and future.

Beyond its heritage, the gem offers exacting gemological attributes that make it a practical choice for an enduring piece. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish maximize brilliance and fire, bringing lively sparkle to every angle, and its clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, ensures an eye-clean appearance that complements its transparency. The stone has been enhanced by heat treatment, a widely accepted practice that stabilizes and accentuates color, and its origin of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, adds provenance prized by collectors and connoisseurs. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this sapphire as an ideal centerpiece for a timeless engagement ring, a distinguished pendant, or a traditional cocktail ring, ready to be set into a design that will become part of a family story. With careful craftsmanship and thoughtful setting, this heart shaped Ceylon sapphire will continue to reward its wearer with the same noble presence that has made sapphires a symbol of fidelity and sovereignty throughout history.
