1.66 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine gifting a moment that catches the light and never lets go, a radiant promise that lives on the hand and in the heart. This is one beautiful transparent 1.66 carat pear shape blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company, a jewel that feels like a deep, joyful secret when it is first seen and a proud declaration every time it is worn. With dimensions of 8.67 by 6.06 by 4.41 millimeters this sapphire sits perfectly between presence and delicacy, offering a silhouette that flatters the finger and a size that is both meaningful and wearable. Originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source famed for producing sapphires of storied color, this stone displays an intense color intensity that draws the eye like a summer sky at dusk. The gem has been heat treated to enhance its natural beauty, a common and stable enhancement that has been performed with care, and it carries a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone remains transparent and lively to the naked eye while retaining the authentic character only a natural gem can possess.

What makes this sapphire sing is the way it is cut, and the way light is invited to dance within it. The mixed brilliant cut has been expertly executed to blend the scintillation of brilliant faceting with the elegance of step and kite facets, and this geometric faceting allows maximum light play, creating lively flashes and deep, velvety blue windows at every tilt of the hand. Each facet meets its neighbor with an excellent polish, producing sharp reflections and a lively surface that catches ambient light and returns it with joyous intensity. Look closely and you will see a precise geometry, a careful symmetry where small facets multiply the stone into a universe of sparkle, while larger pavilion facets anchor depth and saturation of color. The pear shape amplifies this effect by focusing light toward the point and the rounded end, so that movement becomes a story told in fire and brilliance, a living effect that transforms ordinary days into occasions.

Holding this sapphire is like holding a legacy in miniature, a jewel that will create memories from anniversaries to quiet afternoons shared in sunlight. Imagine a proposal with the pear shape cradled in a bespoke setting, or a custom pendant that drops like a teardrop of deep blue, catching light as the wearer moves. The Natural Sapphire Company understands that a gemstone is more than its measurements, so we present this 1.66 carat Ceylon blue sapphire ready to become the centerpiece of your most heartfelt moments. Its very slightly included clarity confirms its natural origin, its excellent polish confirms the cutter care, and its intense color and sparkling mixed brilliant cut confirm that every facet has been fashioned to inspire joy. Let this sapphire be the thread that ties a story together, the silent but luminous witness to vows and celebrations, and the gift that grows more treasured with time, as natural beauty, thoughtful cutting, and the warm provenance of Ceylon come together in a gem that is waiting to be made into someone beloveds favorite piece.
