1.79 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A luminous promise of joy awaits in this transparent 1.79 carat oval blue sapphire, a gem that feels like a small piece of sky held in the hand, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. Measuring 8.52 by 6.28 by 4.03 millimeters, the stone is thoughtfully fashioned in an elegant oval with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes sparkle and life, and an excellent polish that lets light dance within. At eye level it is very slightly included, which only serves to confirm its natural origin and authenticity, and its intense color intensity is pure and convincing. This sapphire is from Ceylon, no enhancement, a true natural treasure that will create a lasting memory, whether worn as an engagement center stone, a special gift, or a personal talisman that marks a joyful milestone.

When you place this Ceylon sapphire beside stones from other legendary sources, its personality becomes even more distinctive. Compared with the famous Kashmir sapphires, which are often velvety and possess a rare cornflower blue with a soft, almost powdered tone, this Sri Lankan gem is livelier and clearer, leaning toward a brilliant, energetic blue that catches the eye with playful flashes. Against classic Burmese sapphires that can read deeper and denser, with royal, inky tones, this Ceylon example feels more transparent and spirited, offering a brightness that invites conversation. Compared with Madagascan sapphires, which can vary from vivid and saturated to darker blue, this stone sits comfortably in the intense bracket with a clarity and vivacity that many collectors favor. It is brighter than many Australian and Thai stones that sometimes carry a greenish or steely cast, and it has more vivacity than many Montana blues that are lovely but often lighter and more pastel. The result is a sapphire that feels both elegant and joyful, a stone that brings warmth to the skin and a sparkle to the heart, a gem that tells a story of its island birthplace with every facet. Choose this Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company, and give a gift that will be remembered for a lifetime, a jewel that captures love, excitement, and the simple pleasure of beauty.
