1.76 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.76 carat marquise shape blue sapphire, measuring 12.28 x 5.33 x 3.50 mm, arrives from the storied gem fields of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance synonymous with vivid, ocean deep blues. Presented with a mixed brilliant cut, intense color intensity, very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish, this sapphire is the embodiment of discreet grandeur, a jewel that speaks of quiet power and cultivated taste. Heat treated to reveal its fullest hue, it retains natural integrity and luminous depth, a stone that will elevate any setting with a presence that is both stately and sensorial. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem as a rare opportunity for connoisseurs who seek a sapphire that is as technically extraordinary as it is emotionally resonant.

The marquise silhouette, elongated and pointed at each end, partners with the mixed brilliant cut to orchestrate a masterful interplay of light and color, every facet tuned to enhance brilliance and scintillation. The mixed brilliant design combines the lively, multi angled facets of a brilliant cut on the crown with carefully arranged pavilion facets that guide light back through the gem with exceptional return, producing lively flashes of white brilliance and saturated blue flashes of color. This facet architecture deepens the apparent color while preserving vivacity, creating a sense of depth that draws the eye along the stone’s graceful length. The polished facet junctions, finished to an excellent standard, act like tiny mirrors, each plane reflecting and refracting light to amplify fire and sparkle, while the very slightly included clarity at eye level ensures transparency and brightness without distracting inclusions. Thoughtful facet alignment and proportion reduce the classic marquise bow tie, concentrating light through the center and toward the points for a striking visual effect when set. In the hand or on the wrist this sapphire reads as an achievement, a companion to discerning style and decisive taste, a gem that affirms status without ostentation. For those who desire legacy quality and impeccable provenance, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this marquise blue sapphire as a collectible statement, ready to be set into a bespoke piece that will be treasured for generations.
