1.90 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This one beautiful transparent 1.90 carat oval shape blue sapphire, measuring 8.46 x 6.65 x 4.35 mm, represents a classic balance of weight, depth, and face up presence that makes it an excellent candidate for fine jewelry design. Cut in a faceted style with a mixed brilliant cut, this sapphire has been shaped to maximize both color saturation and scintillation. The polish is excellent, resulting in crisp facet junctions and lively light return. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means that under careful visual inspection the stone appears clean and bright while still retaining its natural identity and character. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long admired for producing sapphires with vivid color intensity and lively tone, and this stone has been heat treated in a conventional, stable manner to enhance color and clarity, a standard practice that improves the gem while leaving its fundamental properties intact.

From a gemological perspective this sapphire displays the hallmarks of fine corundum. The vivid color intensity is evenly distributed across the table and the pavilion, giving the stone a pleasing, saturated blue that reads true under varied lighting. The mixed brilliant cut combines a faceted crown with precise pavilion faceting to create brilliant flash as well as rich body color. The 4.35 mm depth is proportionate to the overall outline, which helps maintain a good balance between face up size and brilliance. The very very slightly included clarity grade means the internal features are minor and not visible to the naked eye from standard viewing angles, which supports a cleaner appearance in open settings such as a solitaire ring or a pendant where the table and crown are unobstructed.

When planning a setting this sapphire offers exceptional flexibility for customization. In a solitaire engagement ring the stone will stand proud as the visual focal point, and it pairs beautifully with classic four or six prong configurations that permit maximum light entry and showcase the mixed brilliant cut. For clients who prefer modern silhouettes a bezel setting can be used to emphasize durability while offering a sleek, contemporary profile. A halo setting with fine accent diamonds will increase perceived size and create a high contrast frame that plays up the vivid blue. Three stone and side stone designs provide an opportunity to combine diamonds or colored sapphires for additional light and color contrast. The oval outline is especially friendly to east west orientation for a fashion forward look, and it also adapts elegantly to elongated vintage inspired mounts with filigree and milgrain details.

Metal choice and accompanying stones will influence the visual effect and the perceived warmth or coolness of the color. Platinum and white gold will emphasize the sapphire s blue tone and give a crisp, high contrast presentation ideal for a refined, contemporary aesthetic. Yellow and rose gold settings will introduce warm reflections that can deepen the perceived saturation and create a rich, classic contrast for those seeking a traditional or romantic look. If you wish to pair the sapphire with diamonds, consider near colorless to faint color diamonds to preserve the purity of the blue, or opt for small melee sapphires to create a tone on tone composition. The Natural Sapphire Company can provide matched accents and advise on diamond grades that will complement the sapphire without competing with its vivid color intensity.

Customization possibilities extend beyond rings to elegant pendants, refined stud or drop earrings, and bespoke bracelet centers. A solitaire pendant will display the gem prominently against the neckline, while a halo pendant adds drama and sparkle. Matching stud earrings can be fashioned as simple three prong or bezel set pieces, or as drop earrings with diamond bales for movement and brilliance. For bracelets and cluster pieces the stone can be integrated as a focal center with complementary stones on either side to create balance across the wrist. In each scenario The Natural Sapphire Company can prepare CAD renderings, sample settings, and metal proofs to visualize how the 8.46 x 6.65 x 4.35 mm oval will read in actual wear, and our craftsmen can adjust prong height, gallery openness, and bezel thickness to ensure secure mounting while optimizing light return and comfort.
