1.87 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that occupy space, and then there are gemstones that command it, and this exceptional Ceylon blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company belongs to the latter category. We present a beautiful transparent oval sapphire weighing 1.87 carats, with refined proportions of 8.13 x 6.16 x 4.26 mm, rendered in a mixed brilliant cut that harmonizes scintillation with depth. At eye level its clarity is graded very very slightly included, a rarity for stones of this caliber, and its polish has been executed to an excellent standard so that every facet sings with light. What truly defines this gem is its intense blue color, pure and saturated, an expression of Ceylonite character that is both electric and velvety, and entirely natural, for this sapphire has undergone no enhancement. When you hold it, or when it rests at the heart of a bespoke setting, it communicates a singular authenticity and a level of refinement that is difficult to find in the everyday market.

Rarity is not merely a matter of statistics, it is an aesthetic proposition, and in this stone rarity is present on two critical fronts, size and color. Among Ceylon sapphires, it is uncommon to find a specimen that so beautifully balances a substantial carat weight with uncompromised color saturation and high clarity, especially without heat treatment or other enhancements. Many sapphires of similar scale have been altered to uplift tone or clarity, and many untreated examples are either smaller or lack the concentrated hue that collectors seek. At 1.87 carats this oval sits in a desirable weight bracket where the gemstone makes an unmistakable impression on the hand or in a pendant, yet it remains intimate and elegant rather than ostentatious. The intensity of its blue is its crown, setting it apart from the more common medium to light blue stones that populate the market. It is the kind of rarity that appeals to connoisseurs who understand that true scarcity lies in the combination of size, natural origin, and pure, vivid color.

The mixed brilliant cut is a considered choice for this sapphire, marrying the deep pavilion facets that deliver color concentration with a brilliant faceted crown that creates a lively play of light. This balance allows the stone to read as intensely blue from most viewing angles, while also revealing lively flashes and internal brilliance that animate the gem as it moves. The oval silhouette is elegant and elongating, making it a sublime centerpiece for an engagement ring where it will flatter the hand, or an understated pendant that speaks of quiet confidence. At the dimensions provided the sapphire offers a generous table, which showcases the depth and purity of color, while the depth percentage remains within an optimal range to ensure brilliance. The very very slightly included clarity means that at eye level the stone appears remarkably clean, and under magnification its minor characteristics confirm its natural origin rather than any laboratory intervention. For collectors and design houses seeking a gem that translates to high jewelry with minimal compromise, this sapphire presents an unusually complete package.

To wear this Ceylon sapphire is to accept an invitation into a rarified circle of ownership, where provenance, natural integrity, and refined aesthetics converge. At The Natural Sapphire Company we take pride in offering gemstones that are documented and responsibly sourced, and this 1.87 carat oval blue sapphire carries the signature hallmarks of Sri Lankan origin that have captivated gem lovers for centuries. Its untreated state preserves geological truth, and its combination of intense color, high clarity, precise dimensions, and excellent polish renders it an instant heirloom candidate. For the discerning buyer this is more than a purchase, it is an assertion of taste, a declaration that you value authenticity and rarity. We welcome inquiries from clients seeking to commission settings that honor the gem, or from collectors who appreciate the long term allure of an untouched Ceylon sapphire.
