1.93 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.93 carat marquise blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka stands apart from the common offerings on the market, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this exceptional stone. At 10.46 by 5.57 by 4.31 mm the proportions deliver a graceful elongated silhouette that flatters most ring designs, while its transparency and intense color intensity make the tone immediately striking. Unlike many stones that reach a pleasing shade only after treatments, this sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, so the rich Ceylon blue is pure and natural, a genuine rarity that commands attention. Compared to mass market sapphires that are heavily heat treated or that show dull color when set, this stone retains lively saturation and depth, yet it remains versatile and wearable for everyday pieces and heirloom commissions. The clarity graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level means that the gem reads clean to the observer, with surface and internal features so minor they do not interrupt the visual flow, a clarity advantage over more common eye visible included stones that can distract from color and brilliance.

The mixed brilliant cut employed in this marquise has been chosen for its ability to coax maximum optical performance from this particular rough, and it outperforms basic step cuts or poorly executed marquise shapes in real world sparkle. A mixed brilliant cut integrates brilliant style facets on the crown with more controlled pavilion faceting, creating an interplay between return of light and internal reflection that produces both lively scintillation and a stable, even body color. In practice the result is a balance of flash and depth, with each movement revealing crisp highlights and a pleasing play of blues without the washed out or overly dark areas seen in shallow or deep cuts. The marquise outline further concentrates light along its longitudinal axis, creating a mirror like runway of color that visually elongates the finger and enhances perceived size, a distinct advantage when compared to round and oval stones of similar carat weight. This stone also benefits from an excellent polish, which means facet junctions are smooth and reflective, minimizing light leakage, and because the gem is very very slightly included the light is allowed to travel freely through the interior facets, producing a clean, lively face up appearance that many other market stones cannot match.

From a value and design perspective this marquise sapphire is an outstanding choice for collectors and for clients seeking a centerpiece stone that combines rarity with everyday elegance. Many similar weight stones on the market may offer attractive color but sacrifice clarity or require enhancements, or they may be cut for maximum weight retention rather than for optical beauty, leaving the buyer with a heavy looking but lifeless gem. In contrast this Ceylon sapphire delivers intense naturally occurring color, a meticulous mixed brilliant cut designed to enhance light reflection, and clarity that reads clean at eye level, all backed by the provenance and rigorous selection standards of The Natural Sapphire Company. The dimensions shown in the photos give an accurate sense of scale, and the marquise form makes this stone an ideal candidate for solitaire settings, three stone rings, or bespoke designs that emphasize length. For clients who prioritize long term enjoyment and resale potential, an untreated Ceylon sapphire with excellent polish and precise cutting represents sound value, because the market consistently rewards natural color and superior cutting quality.

If you are comparing options, consider how this sapphire will perform in the setting you envision, how it will interact with metals and accent stones, and how it will maintain its appearance over time. Stones that arrive with visible inclusions, treatments, or compromised cuts may seem less expensive up front, but they rarely provide the same daily pleasure or long term appreciation. This 1.93 carat marquise from Ceylon Sri Lanka offers a rare convergence of intense natural color, superior clarity at eye level, and a mixed brilliant cut that elevates light reflection into vivid brilliance and scintillation. For clients who want a sapphire that reads as refined and luminous from every angle, and who value expert sourcing and transparent information, this gem from The Natural Sapphire Company is a superior choice.
