1.86 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.86 carat oval blue sapphire offers an unmistakable presence, with dimensions of 9.09 by 6.68 by 4.00 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, and a clarity grade described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish. Compared with many market stones that can appear flat, overly dark, or heavily included, this Ceylon sapphire delivers rare balance between saturation and transparency, producing a lively, three dimensional blue that reads larger and more vivid than many sapphires of equal weight. The mixed brilliant faceting maximizes light return and scintillation, an advantage over simpler step cuts or poorly proportioned ovals, and the excellent polish gives clean scope for reflections and contrast, which makes it stand out against side diamonds and mounting metals. Heat treatment is disclosed and typical for enhancing stability and color, and the documented origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, adds provenance that collectors and custom jewelers prize, providing a superior combination of hue, clarity, and craftsmanship compared with many commercial alternatives.

As a salesperson for The Natural Sapphire Company I can confirm this gem is an ideal candidate for a wide variety of bespoke settings, from a classic solitaire engagement ring that showcases the stone solo, to an elegant halo that amplifies its vivid blue with fine white diamonds, to a three stone composition that balances presence with personalized meaning. Its 9.09 by 6.68 by 4.00 millimeter profile sits comfortably in prong mounts to maximize light exposure, while the even pavilion depth also adapts well to low bezel settings for everyday wear and secure settings that protect the girdle. The mixed brilliant cut plays beautifully with pavé shoulders, tapered baguette side stones, and vintage filigree bezels, making it a superior choice for both modern tension mounts and antique inspired designs. Given its eye level clarity and vivid color, this sapphire offers exceptional value, because it presents the visual impact of a larger stone without the premium price of much higher carat examples.
