1.79 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.79 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, dimensions 6.68 x 6.21 x 4.95 mm, mixed brilliant cut, clarity very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, excellent polish, enhancement heat treated, origin Ceylon Sri Lanka, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. This gem displays a deep lively blue that feels both regal and fresh, a depth of tone that holds when viewed from multiple angles, and a scintillating mix of flashes from the mixed brilliant cut and the expert polish. At 1.79 carats the stone is substantial enough to make a confident center in an engagement ring or a striking solitaire pendant, yet refined in scale to sit gracefully on the finger, as shown in the provided hand photos. The eye level clarity is exceptional, with only the faintest natural inclusions that do not distract from the overall brilliance, giving the sapphire a clean, open appearance and allowing the vivid color to dominate.

Natural Ceylon sapphires carry a geological story and provenance that lab grown stones cannot replicate, and this piece is a prime example. The location of origin in Sri Lanka imparts characteristic color nuances and a lively, slightly electric blue that collectors recognize, and the natural internal characteristics act like a fingerprint, confirming the gem was formed under earth born conditions over millions of years. Heat treatment is a traditional, stable and accepted enhancement that simply refines and unlocks the sapphire s best color potential without compromising its natural origin. For buyers who value authenticity, history and rarity, a natural Ceylon sapphire offers an emotional connection and a provenance that enriches the ownership experience.

When compared to lab grown sapphires, this natural stone stands apart in ways that matter to discerning buyers. Lab grown stones can offer uniformity and affordability, and they are an excellent option for many purposes, but they are manufactured rather than born, and that difference shows in subtle ways. Natural stones exhibit unique color zoning, silk and fine crystal inclusions that contribute to depth and soul, while the mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish of this piece maximize light return and lively scintillation that pleases the eye under many lighting conditions. Value retention tends to favor high quality natural stones, especially those with desirable origin and vivid saturated color, and this sapphire s combination of color intensity, eye level clarity and provenance from Ceylon positions it strongly as a piece that can be cherished now and passed down later.
