1.93 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

For millennia sapphires from Ceylon have been prized by kings and collectors for their clarity, color, and sense of enduring beauty. This 1.93 carat oval blue sapphire carries that same ancient resonance, a stone that seems to hold centuries of light within its facets. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this gem with a provenance that links directly to Sri Lanka, a land synonymous with some of the most sought after sapphires in history. Worn as a signet for emperors, set into crowns, or carried as a talisman, sapphires from Ceylon have long been associated with wisdom, fidelity, and timeless elegance. This stone is ready to continue that lineage, offering a connection to artisanal traditions and the silent stories of the earth, while also fitting seamlessly into modern design sensibilities.

This transparent oval sapphire measures 7.94 by 6.25 by 4.67 millimeters, and its precise mixed brilliant cut has been finished to an excellent polish. At 1.93 carats the gem balances presence with wearability, making it ideal for a range of jewelry pieces. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to the stone being both natural and exceptionally clean to the unaided eye. The color intensity is light, a pastel blue that conveys refinement rather than loudness, and the gem has undergone no enhancements. These technical attributes translate into a stone that is honest and pure, one whose virtues are revealed through careful cutting and polishing rather than through treatments. The combination of transparency and polish allows light to enter the gem and return as a soft but lively radiance, a quality that connoisseurs of natural sapphires will immediately appreciate.

The mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation, producing flashes of brightness that contrast beautifully against the stones gentle blue. In a classic solitaire ring this gem will command attention through its sheer presence and clarity. In a halo setting the light color will be enhanced by surrounding diamonds, creating a luminous centerpiece that remains delicately hued. Set in warm metals like yellow gold the sapphires cool blue will sing with contrast, and set in white metals like platinum or white gold it will offer a modern, serene look. Designers will find that the stones dimensions and cut make it versatile for rings, pendants, or heritage brooches, and its natural, untreated state ensures that the color and character come from the earth itself.

Beyond its aesthetic virtues this sapphire is a gem meant to be part of a story, an heirloom to be passed from generation to generation.
