1.63 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for the one sapphire that truly ends your quest, you are looking for presence, proportion, and provenance, and this 1.63 carat blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company answers that wish with a confident yes. Many buyers tell us that size alone is not enough, and yet weight is the single most tangible measure of a gem s rarity and value, because carat weight is where beauty and scarcity meet. If you want a center stone that sits elegantly on the hand while announcing itself in a way that feels neither timid nor ostentatious, a transparent 1.63 carat sapphire delivers the ideal balance. It reads as a meaningful gemstone for an engagement ring, a refined choice for an heirloom pendant, and a rare addition to a discerning collection, all at once. Our role is to match what you truly want with a gem that will satisfy that desire for decades, and this sapphire was selected for exactly that purpose.

This piece is an emerald cut with measured dimensions of 8.24 by 5.84 by 3.35 mm, a shape that emphasizes clarity and depth of color, and one that flatters the stone s 1.63 carat weight by creating a regal, elongated face. The clarity is described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning that under normal viewing the stone appears remarkably clean, and the inclusions do not detract from the overall visual impact. The color presents a vivid intensity, the tone and saturation that collectors prize from Ceylon origins, and an excellent polish gives the facet junctions a crispness that enhances light return and color uniformity. The sapphire has undergone standard heat treatment, a well established enhancement that intensifies color stability while preserving the natural character of the crystal. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with a luminous, velvety blue that reads as both lively and sophisticated.

Carat weight is more than a number, it is the element that changes perception and market position, and at 1.63 carats this sapphire moves from a delicate accent stone into a primary gemstone that commands attention without overwhelming a design. In the market, stones in the one and a half carat range display a step change in rarity when combined with vivid color and clean clarity, because larger clean material is simply less common, and when it comes from Ceylon the appeal multiplies for many buyers who value origin as part of the story. The emerald cut amplifies the gem s color and clarity, so the 1.63 carat weight reads larger visually than its carat alone might suggest, while also lending a timeless geometric elegance that is perfect for classic solitaire designs and for modern three stone settings where each side stone must complement a confident center. For investors and collectors who track supply and demand, a well cut, heat treated Ceylon sapphire of this weight and appearance is a smart acquisition because it combines immediate wearable beauty with the structural attributes that support long term desirability.
