1.67 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.67 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon is a refined addition to any high end gemstone collection, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone measures 8.47 by 6.59 by 3.44 mm, and the mixed brilliant cut expertly balances fire and face up color by combining table and pavilion facet geometry to maximize light return. The light color intensity offers an elegant, classic blue that is distinct from the deeper, more saturated stones, and the excellent polish enhances brilliance and delivers crisp facet junctions. Clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from overall visual appeal, especially when mounted. Importantly, this sapphire has undergone no enhancement, so its color and clarity are wholly natural, a characteristic that is highly valued by connoisseurs and collectors because it preserves long term stability and provenance.

For the educated buyer who considers the key value drivers of gemstone investment, this sapphire presents a compelling profile. Carat weight, cut quality, clarity, color, treatment status, and geographic origin all contribute to rarity and desirability, and this stone scores strongly across these categories. Origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, adds historical and market significance, as Ceylon sapphires are renowned for their lively, velvety blues and for producing material that responds well to skilled cutting. The mixed brilliant cut makes the gem versatile for fine jewelry settings, ideal for a solitary ring, a pendant that highlights its oval outline, or a collector presentation in a cabinet display. The combination of natural, untreated color, eye level clarity described as very slightly included, and precise dimensions ensures that this sapphire will appeal to buyers who prioritize natural provenance and gemological integrity. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the details and presentation, and this Ceylon sapphire is recommended as a tasteful, investment worthy piece that complements a curated selection of premium colored gemstones.
