1.78 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional 1.78 carat oval sapphire embodies a level of rarity that separates collectors from the rest, a stone reserved for those who seek something truly singular. True Ceylon blue is admired for its lively, ocean deep tones, yet finding a transparent example in this particular size and with vivid color intensity is extraordinarily uncommon. Many sapphires at similar weights exhibit either a paler cornflower hue or a denser near black blue, but this gem strikes a perfect balance, delivering a saturated, vivid blue that remains lively under varied light. The proportions, 8.51 by 7.03 by 3.37 mm, create a presence that reads larger than its weight would suggest, and the mixed brilliant cut has been crafted to maximize brilliance and depth, producing flashes of electric blue and velvety midnight that captivate at a glance. For a discerning collector or a client commissioning a custom piece, this sapphire represents a rare opportunity to own a color and size combination that appears only infrequently on the market.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this stone as a limited and elite offering, a sapphire that promises to anchor a bespoke creation with timeless elegance. Evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, the clarity allows the vivacious color to sing without distraction, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet reflections and a silky surface. The gem has been heat treated to enhance its natural beauty, a common and stable enhancement that intensifies the blue while preserving the stone integrity. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the storied heritage of one of the worlds most esteemed origins, and because sapphires of this caliber are scarce, we recommend securing it promptly if you are pursuing a one of a kind ring, pendant, or heirloom commission. Ownership of this sapphire confers entry into a very select circle of collectors who value provenance, precision cutting, and that rare vivid blue in an elegant 1.78 carat oval, a combination that will be treasured for generations.
