1.75 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped blue sapphire weighs 1.75 carats, and measures 10.08 by 5.79 by 3.96 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes faceted brilliance while preserving strong symmetry. The color is a medium intense blue that displays lively saturation and attractive tone under a variety of lighting conditions, characteristics prized by connoisseurs who favor natural Ceylon material. Clarity is graded very very slightly included at eye level, meaning the stone appears clean to the unaided eye while containing only minor inclusions visible under magnification, a combination that supports both visual appeal and long term value. The polish is excellent, producing crisp facet edges and strong light return, and the sapphire is offered with no enhancement, an increasingly sought after attribute among educated buyers who value untreated provenance. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a classic source known for producing sapphires with vivid, velvety blues and strong market recognition, details that The Natural Sapphire Company verifies through experienced gemological sourcing and documentation.

Beyond its beauty, this sapphire is exceptionally well suited to daily wear, due to the fundamental durability of corundum. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire resists scratching from all common jewelry materials except diamond, and its structural toughness minimizes the risk of chipping in properly set pieces. The mixed brilliant cut further contributes to practical performance, by balancing top light return with protective facet geometry that reduces the exposure of vulnerable girdle areas. For everyday use we recommend secure settings such as well engineered prongs or a bezel, choices that provide both security and an elegant profile. Routine care is straightforward, warm soapy water and a soft brush will maintain luster, and professional ultrasonic or steam cleaning may be appropriate after consultation given the stone is unenhanced, adding assurance for long term maintenance. Collectors and buyers seeking a sapphire that combines desirable Ceylon color, eye clean clarity, ethical sourcing, and robust wearability will find this pear shaped gem from The Natural Sapphire Company an excellent candidate for a ring, pendant, or heirloom piece, delivering both visual distinction and practical resilience.
