1.74 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite pear shape blue sapphire embodies the very essence of refined taste, a singular treasure presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, destined to be the centerpiece of a distinguished collection. We offer one transparent 1.74 carat gem, measuring 9.23 by 6.41 by 3.88 millimeters, fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that marries fire and depth with consummate elegance. Its clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a mark of natural authenticity that allows the rich blue to breathe without distraction. The color intensity is vivid and the polish excellent, resulting in an immediate, magnetic presence that reads as both rare and timeless. Originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka and enhanced by careful heat treatment to magnify hue and clarity, this sapphire carries the provenance and stability collectors and connoisseurs prize.

The unmatched sparkle of this sapphire begins with corundum itself, a dense crystal lattice that offers a refractive index near 1.76, which combined with a subtle birefringence, creates a luminous, saturated glow that lives within every facet. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies these innate optical virtues by pairing a scintillating crown with a precisely angled pavilion, orchestrating a choreography of light where every facet returns depth, contrast, and lively scintillation. The gem’s very slightly included clarity ensures exceptional transparency, permitting maximum light transmission while its excellent polish lets that light exit with crisp flashes and velvety blue flashes across the table and shoulders. Heat treatment has been applied in a traditional, stable manner to dissolve microscopic silk and refine color distribution, so the vividness you see is both natural and enduring. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this pear sapphire is ideally suited to a bespoke solitaire pendant or an elegant halo ring, a piece that will announce arrival and elevate any occasion, a jewel that affirms achievement and impeccable taste.
