1.95 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent Other certified Blue 1.95 carat heart shape blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company presents a rare combination of classical romance and technical excellence. Its dimensions of 7.36 x 8.93 x 3.96 mm give a generous face up presence for a gem under two carats, while the heart shape offers a distinctly feminine silhouette that remains elegant and wearable. The mixed brilliant cut employed in this stone combines the scintillating geometry of a brilliant style crown with a tailored pavilion design that complements the heart outline. The gem is graded as eye clean, evaluated at eye level, which means that under typical viewing conditions the stone displays no inclusions visible to the naked eye, and the polish is rated excellent, ensuring crisp, reflective facet junctions and a bright visual surface. The color is described as vivid intensity, and the sapphire is unenhanced, no enhancement, which further elevates its appeal to a discerning buyer who values natural provenance and transparency of treatment history. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source long respected for producing sapphires with life and vibrancy.

The geometric faceting of this heart shape sapphire is a decisive factor in its optical performance, and the mixed brilliant cut is specifically selected to maximize light play within the constraints of the heart outline. The crown facets work to disperse light and create flashes of white light and spectrum, while the pavilion facets are angled to return that light to the viewer rather than leak it away. In practical terms, the cutter balanced table size and facet angles to optimize both brilliance and color saturation, a critical consideration in blue sapphires where overly deep pavilions or oversized tables can mute face up color. With length and width that translate into a substantial table area, and a depth that measures approximately 48.6 percent relative to the average of length and width, this stone sits in a proportion range that favors a larger face up appearance and lively surface reflections, without sacrificing the depth of tone that defines vivid Ceylon blues. The lobes and cleft of the heart have been shaped with symmetry in mind, so the gem presents a harmonious play of light across its lobes and a concentrated heart center that catches the eye.

Clarity and treatment status are core considerations for educated purchasers, and this sapphire’s eye clean clarity evaluated at eye level is an important marker of quality. In sapphires, inclusions can range from needles and crystals to fingerprint like structures, and while such features are natural and can attest to authenticity, an eye clean stone provides unobstructed color and light performance. The fact that this stone is unenhanced, no enhancement, adds measurable value in the market, since untreated Ceylon sapphires with vivid color and good clarity are relatively uncommon and sought after by collectors and investors. Ceylon origin carries its own set of expectations. Sapphires from Sri Lanka are known for a certain brightness and liveliness in blue hues, often described as cornflower to vivid blue, with a clarity that allows the gem to exhibit both internal glow and surface brilliance. A certified origin and treatment report increases confidence in provenance and condition, and clients of The Natural Sapphire Company appreciate that rigorous documentation accompanies such premium natural stones.

The excellent polish and careful faceting translate into practical benefits for setting and wear. An excellent polish means that each facet plane has been finished to minimize abrasions and tool marks, producing crisp facet edges and return of light that is both immediate and sustained over prolonged close viewing. Heart shapes require considered setting design to protect the points and the cleft, and this particular stone can be set with prongs that secure the lobes and tip, or within a halo that amplifies perceived size and enhances scintillation, or within a bezel that emphasizes the silhouette while offering additional protection. Because the sapphire is hard and durable by nature, scoring nine on the Mohs scale, it is well suited to daily wear in rings and in pendants that face frequent exposure, and the unenhanced status means typical care and cleaning are straightforward without the need for special post treatment protocols. At 1.95 carats, the gem offers a balance between presence and practicality, providing a substantial visual impact on the finger while maintaining proportional harmony in a wide range of mounting styles.

For the educated buyer, the combination of heart shape, mixed brilliant faceting, eye clean clarity, vivid color intensity, excellent polish, unenhanced treatment status, and Ceylon origin creates a compelling argument for both aesthetic and investment value. The mixed brilliant faceting ensures maximized light play and scintillation within a heart silhouette, which is a more complex cut that rewards skilled cutting with superior optical performance. The unenhanced, certified Ceylon provenance signals rarity and authenticity, and the eye clean clarity allows the color to read consistently across lighting conditions without internal distractions. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind its gems with detailed reporting and responsible sourcing, and this particular heart shape sapphire exemplifies the attributes that sophisticated buyers seek when looking for a stone that combines beauty, durability, and documented provenance.
