1.80 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This remarkable Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company embodies a rare marriage of rich, bold color and refined geometry, a combination that reads as personal power and quiet distinction. At 1.80 carat and measuring 7.35 x 5.38 x 4.44 mm, this emerald cut bluish green sapphire is transparent and lively, its intense color intensity drawing the eye while remaining sophisticated and wearable. The emerald cut presents long, elegant step facets that emphasize the stone's depth of hue, and the excellent polish ensures each facet edge catches light with clean, mirror like reflections. Clarity is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the gem offers an exceptionally clean window to its saturated bluish green heart, a clarity profile that is immediately apparent to the unaided eye and that elevates the gem above many stones of similar weight. This sapphire is heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that deepens tone and improves uniformity without compromising natural origin or resale value, and its provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka places it within a lineage of sapphires prized for luminous and lively colors.

Compared with the flood of standard blue sapphires and the overly dark or muddy stones often encountered on the market, this gem stands apart for its vibrant bluish green that is both bold and versatile. Many commercial sapphires emphasize carat weight at the expense of color saturation or clarity, yielding larger but less striking stones, or they come from sources that sacrifice polish and facet precision. In contrast, the emerald cut on this sapphire was executed to maximize both color and clarity, allowing the intense bluish green to play across broad facets that reveal internal character without hiding it behind excessive sparkle. Compared to brilliant cut sapphires that prioritize scintillation, this emerald cut offers a different kind of luxury, an architectural elegance and color richness that reads as authority and poise on the hand. Where heavily included pieces can appear dull under normal lighting, this stone maintains clarity and presence, and where many heat treated stones are over processed to mask poor material, this sapphire was modestly and professionally treated to enhance its natural beauty while preserving the integrity and traceable origin that collectors and discriminating buyers value.

For a purchaser seeking a stone that acts as a statement of individuality rather than a commodity, this 1.80 carat Ceylon sapphire is an exceptional choice. Its size is substantial enough to serve as a memorable center stone, yet its proportions and emerald cut keep it elegant on smaller rings and refined settings, offering versatility that many larger, poorly cut stones cannot match. The intense bluish green tone reads as confidence, a color that complements both cool and warm metals and that stands out alongside diamonds or other colored gems without competing. When compared to lab grown alternatives and mass market material, this natural Ceylon sapphire offers provenance, rarity, and the subtle human history of artisanal cutting and selective treatment, attributes that translate to long term desirability and value. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select and present sapphires like this because they communicate distinction at a glance, because their visual presence signifies personal power, and because they perform in real life with a combination of color, clarity, and polish that few comparable stones on the market can match. If you want a gem that combines strong visual impact with refined craftsmanship, this emerald cut bluish green sapphire is a superior option.
