1.74 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare Ceylon treasure, this transparent 1.74 carat cushion shape blue sapphire commands attention with a depth and purity of color that is increasingly scarce in the market. At 6.73 x 6.52 x 4.40 mm this gem carries a perfect balance of presence and wearability, its faceted surface cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and scintillation. The vivid color intensity is the first thing to arrest the eye, a saturated, velvety blue that shifts with movement, while an excellent polish allows light to dance cleanly across each facet. Clarity is assessed as very slightly included at eye level, a grade that enhances the gem with character without interrupting its visual impact. Enhancement by careful heat treatment is disclosed, a widely accepted practice that stabilizes and reveals the sapphire s natural beauty, and its Ceylon origin speaks to a lineage of world renowned stones that collectors covet.

Every aspect of this sapphire reflects a commitment to meticulous selection and ethical stewardship, qualities that discerning buyers seek when building a conscious collection. Sourced from Sri Lanka with attention to responsible mining practices, this stone is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company with transparency about its treatment and provenance. We work with trusted partners on the ground who prioritize fair labor, community investment, and environmental care, and we maintain rigorous traceability from the moment a stone leaves the mine. For the ethically minded collector, owning this sapphire is more than possession, it is participation in a supply chain that values people and place, and an affirmation that beauty and responsibility can coexist without compromise.

This sapphire is a singular opportunity to own a cushion cut jewel that feels bespoke, an elite addition to a curated collection or the centerpiece of a custom design. Imagine this 1.74 carat gem set in a minimalist solitaire that lets the vivid blue breathe, or framed by hand selected diamonds to amplify its brilliance. Because stones of this caliber and origin are limited, possession confers a private distinction, a quiet certainty that you belong to an exclusive circle of owners who value provenance and rarity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we offer personalized design consultations, secure documentation, and attentive aftercare, ensuring that this sapphire not only joins your collection with integrity, but remains a treasured heirloom for generations.
