1.60 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A singular opportunity awaits the collector who seeks both provenance and perfection, an opportunity presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. This is one transparent, 1.60 carat oval blue sapphire, measured precisely at 8.34 x 6.52 x 3.41 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and depth. Its intense color intensity captures the hallmark Ceylon blue that connoisseurs prize, and its clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, offering eye clean appeal with character that confirms natural origin. The polish is excellent, allowing light to dance from facet to facet with exceptional return, and importantly, this sapphire has undergone no enhancement, a rarity among fine gems. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, the stone carries the seasoned reputation of that storied origin, a provenance that adds both desirability and value to the piece, making it an exclusive find for those who demand unaltered beauty and documented origin.

Imagine this sapphire transposed into a variety of bespoke settings, each option transforming the gem into an heirloom made to your taste. Set as a solitaire engagement ring in a classic four prong or six prong mounting, the oval silhouette will lengthen the finger and showcase the vivid Ceylon blue, while a cathedral or tapered shank can add presence without obscuring the gem. For those who prefer guarded elegance, a refined bezel can protect the girdle while amplifying contemporary style, and an east west orientation offers a modern twist that pairs beautifully with pavé shoulders. For greater glamour, surround the center with a halo of fine melee diamonds to intensify perceived size and fire, or choose a three stone composition to celebrate past present and future with tapered side stones or bespoke trapezoids. The stone is equally compelling as a pendant, suspended in a low bezel to catch light with every movement, or as a pair of asymmetric drop earrings where one sapphire anchors a cascade of small brilliant diamonds. For men who appreciate color and subtlety, this sapphire can become the centerpiece of a signet or cufflink set, mounted in warm yellow gold for classic contrast or in platinum for a modern stoic look. Combinations with accented colored sapphires or warm yellow and pink sapphires create bespoke palettes, while mixed metals allow for uniquely personal statements, all conceived and executed by our master jewelers to accommodate the 8.34 x 6.52 x 3.41 mm proportions and the mixed brilliant cut that favors light play.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we craft more than jewelry, we create singular experiences that elevate ownership into a private dialogue between the client and the gem. Because this sapphire is unenhanced and from Ceylon Sri Lanka, we treat its setting as an extension of its story, tailoring mounting profiles, gallery heights, and prong geometry to protect the stone and to maximize its intense blue tone and brilliance. Our atelier can propose bespoke sketches and CAD renderings, sample metal swatches, and matching diamond selections that harmonize with the sapphire without competing with its native color, and we will advise on durability and daily wear considerations based on corundum hardness and the stone dimensions. Owning this gem places you among an elite group who value natural origin, exceptional polish, and clarity that presents beautifully to the eye, while enjoying the freedom to commission a unique setting that reflects personal style and legacy. If you are inspired to make this rare Ceylon sapphire the centrepiece of a one of a kind creation, our client advisors stand ready to guide you through every decision, from design concept to finished piece, ensuring that the final jewel is as rare and enduring as the gem itself.
