1.62 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are few gemstones that carry the quiet authority of a Ceylon sapphire, and this pear shaped, 1.62 carat example is a perfect ambassador for that legacy. Sourced from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this transparent sapphire measures 10.36 by 5.59 by 3.80 millimeters, and is cut in a refined mixed brilliant style that bridges classic elegance with lively modern fire. Its color reads as medium intense blue, an evocative hue that conjures oceanic depths and the clear skies favored by royal gem tradition. The clarity has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, a hallmark of natural formation, and the polish is excellent, allowing each facet to catch and return light with crisp, enduring brilliance. Most importantly for discerning collectors and those seeking authentic provenance, this stone has not undergone enhancement, preserving the natural story written into its crystal lattice over geological time.

The pear shape has been cherished across cultures for centuries, admired for its graceful elongation and the way it flatters both hand and neckline when set. In this sapphire the mixed brilliant cut has been applied with a sensitivity to proportion, yielding scintillation that dances across the crown and a luminous depth from the pavilion. At 1.62 carat the gem carries presence without overwhelming, versatile enough to become the center of a bespoke engagement ring or a pendant that will be passed down through generations. The very slightly included clarity contributes to the gems authenticity, allowing light to interact with internal character and impart a lively, three dimensional personality that perfectly complements the medium intense color. Because the stone is free of enhancement, its natural color and clarity are native to its origin, making it a true expression of Ceylon gemology as honored and represented by The Natural Sapphire Company.

When weighed against lab grown sapphires, this natural Ceylon sapphire offers advantages that extend beyond initial appearance. Lab grown gems can indeed mimic desirable hue and clarity, and they may even achieve impressive technical perfection, however they do not carry the same geological history or unique fingerprint that a natural stone embodies. Natural sapphires like this one have been shaped under intense pressure and heat over millions of years, inheriting subtle inclusions, color zoning, and other features that serve as evidence of their origin and individuality. These characteristics are not flaws, they are signatures, and for collectors and heirs they translate into provenance and storytelling that cannot be fabricated in a laboratory. In markets where rarity and authenticity are valued, untreated natural sapphires retain stronger long term desirability, and for many buyers this means enduring emotional and material value that outlives fashion.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we steward a tradition of transparency and respect for the natural world, and this sapphire exemplifies that promise. Its Ceylon origin and lack of enhancement are documented and verifiable, and our specialists are available to discuss how the size, mixed brilliant cut, and medium intense color will perform in different settings, ensuring the final piece honors both the gem and the person who wears it. Choosing a natural, untreated sapphire is an investment in legacy, a decision to embrace a stone that carries a proven past and the capacity to become a meaningful heirloom. If you seek a gem with historical resonance, refined form, and the authentic provenance that only nature can provide, this pear shaped Ceylon sapphire is a compelling choice, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready to assist you in bringing its story into your life.
