1.62 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet ocean held within this 1.62 carat oval blue sapphire, a small world carved to the perfect oval silhouette, dimensions 7.05 by 5.92 by 4.56 millimeters, a transparency that invites light to travel deep into its heart. Cut as a mixed brilliant, each facet is a window and a mirror, a choreography of planes that catch and scatter daylight and candlelight into a dance of scintillation. Its medium intense blue is not a single shout of color but a song, a melody that moves between cerulean and deeper indigo depending on the hour and the mood. At eye level it is graded very slightly included, which in the language of gemstones reads like a whisper of character, a proof of origin and authenticity rather than an imperfection. This sapphire bears an excellent polish, a surface as smooth as calm water, and it is wholly natural with no enhancement, a true gift from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Hold it and you hold a place and a history, a gem that is both delicate in its appearance and steadfast in its essence.

When light finds this stone it awakens a thousand tiny constellations, each facet becoming a star that reflects and returns its own light to you. The mixed brilliant cut allows the pavilion and crown to work in gentle counterpoint, producing flashes of brightness and areas of softer glow, so that every tilt of the hand reveals a new chapter. The very slightly included clarity lends authenticity to the gaze, a reminder that this is not a laboratory creation but a remnant of earth and time, formed under pressure and cooled into beauty. Over the years those inclusions do more than mark the past, they become the private signatures of a piece worn close to the heart. The sapphire’s natural hardness and excellent polish promise endurance, it resists the daily grazes and keeps its table clear and luminous, ensuring that its color will remain the center of attention for decades. Set in a ring or pendant, the gem will sit majestically, catching morning light and evening glimmer, a companion through changing seasons and shifting fashions.

There is a poetic permanence to a Ceylon sapphire, a sense that the jewel will continue to captivate and console as time passes. In intimate ceremonies and in quiet mornings this blue will recall vows spoken and promises made, reflecting the same fidelity that sapphires have symbolized through centuries. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone not only as an object of rare beauty, but as a vessel for memory, a living piece of earth ready to accompany a life. Its medium intense color will not fade in significance, its very slightly included clarity will not mar your esteem, and its unenhanced origin will remain a continual source of honest wonder. Cherished with gentle care, cleaned with mild soap and a soft brush, and worn with intention, this sapphire will become more than a jewel, it will become a story passed from hand to hand, a whisper of Ceylon carried into futures yet to be written.
