1.84 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When it comes to selecting the perfect blue sapphire, one might easily be overwhelmed by the sheer variety available from different parts of the world. Each source has its own unique offerings, and the choice often comes down to the fine nuances in hue and tone. Here, we proudly present a truly exceptional gemstone that epitomizes beauty at its zenith – a 1.84 carat fancy-shaped blue sapphire from Ceylon, commonly known as Sri Lanka. This sapphire not only stands tall in comparison to its peers across the globe but also offers a unique allure that is difficult to resist.

Our 1.84 carat sapphire from Ceylon measures 9.96 x 7.35 x 4.00 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and a clarity grade that is eye clean, meaning there are no inclusions visible to the naked eye. This feature alone sets our gemstone apart, ensuring that it rivals the clarity of the finest sapphires from other well-acclaimed regions like Kashmir and Madagascar. Kashmir sapphires, renowned for their velvety quality, often carry a premium price due to their exclusivity and historical pedigree. However, their inherent cloudiness may not appeal to all tastes. On the contrary, our sapphire’s eye clean clarity means it captures and reflects light beautifully, freely exhibiting its vivid color intensity without any obstruction.

Speaking of color, the vivaciousness of our Ceylon blue sapphire is truly something to behold. With a vivid color intensity, this gemstone represents the pinnacle of what's possible in blue sapphires. The deep saturation combines with its transparency to create a radiance that is both stunning and exquisite. This is comparable to the celebrated Padparadscha sapphires of Sri Lanka, which are famed for their unique peachy-pink hues. Unlike the typically softer colors of sapphires from Montana and Australia, Sri Lankan sapphires ranging in blue hues exude a more robust and royal essence, making our sapphire desirable for those seeking appreciable richness in color.

What further elevates this blue sapphire is its excellent polish. Every facet is carefully cut and polished, enhancing its brilliance to a level of sophistication rarely matched. When compared to sapphires from Thailand or Cambodia, which often necessitate additional finish to improve appearance, our sapphire’s polish is quintessential perfection achieved straight off the bat. Through the careful enhancement of heat treatment, a commonly accepted practice in the gem world to intensify a sapphire's color and clarity, the potential beauty is maximized without compromising the stone’s natural integrity.
