1.94 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.94 carat cushion shape blue sapphire measures 6.53 x 6.51 x 4.88 mm, exhibiting a precise balance of weight and proportions that optimizes light performance in a compact profile. The cutting style is faceted, executed as a mixed brilliant cut that combines a brilliant style crown with a modified step pavilion, producing a lively interplay of scintillation and broad flashes of color. The table and crown angles have been executed to enhance return and dispersion while the pavilion faceting controls depth of tone, resulting in intense color intensity without overpowering darkness. Clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in combination with the excellent polish and tight symmetry yields exceptional overall brilliance and contrast for a gem of this size.

Inclusions are described here not as flaws but as microscopic fingerprints that authenticate identity and add character, and in this specimen they are subtle and diagnostic. Minute pinpoint crystals and fine silk filament traces align with growth zoning and act as natural markers that confirm corundum structure and geographical provenance, while isolated negative crystals and healed fissures refract light differently across viewing angles creating micro scintillation effects. These internal features are consistent with Ceylon origin, providing internal signatures that specialists use to corroborate origin assessments, and they remain visually negligible at typical viewing distances because of the very very slightly included clarity grade. The sapphire has undergone standard heat treatment to enhance blue saturation and clarity, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that intensifies the inherent color while preserving the gemological characteristics that verify natural origin.

Craftsmanship details include an exemplary polish that produces clean facet junctions and minimal windowing, and a well proportioned girdle that facilitates secure bezel or prong settings without compromising optical performance. The mixed brilliant faceting scheme was selected to showcase the intense Sri Lankan blue, leveraging crown brilliance to display tint and hue while the pavilion facets sustain strong return and lively contrast. This stone is ideal for a center setting in a fine ring or pendant where its balanced dimensions and optical behavior will read as vivid and elegant in hand, and it will respond favorably to bespoke design work. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this Ceylon blue sapphire as a technical and aesthetic offering for discerning clients who value provenance, precise cutting, and the natural inclusion characteristics that make each gem uniquely identifiable.
