1.76 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A singular presence of refined beauty, this transparent blue sapphire weighs 1.76 carat and is shaped in a perfect round form, with dimensions of 7.09 x 7.09 x 4.43 mm. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the stone unites the fire and scintillation of a brilliant cut with the depth and color saturation that collectors covet. The clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a mark that affirms the stone as essentially eye clean and of rare visual purity. Its color intensity is described as intense, a rich Ceylon blue that balances vibrant hue with velvety depth, and the polish has been judged excellent, permitting light to travel freely and to emerge as vivid flashes and soft luminous fields. The origin of this sapphire is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place celebrated for producing sapphires that have adorned royal and private collections for centuries. The gem has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that brings out the best in the material while preserving its natural origin and character. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is offered as a work of art and as the foundational element of a bespoke jewelry narrative.

To hold this sapphire is to hold an emblem of cultivated taste, an object that speaks to a life lived with an appreciation for the finest things. Its round silhouette lends itself to timeless elegance, and the mixed brilliant cut offers a compelling interplay of brilliance and color that makes the stone equally suited to both modern and classical designs. In strong light the stone will emit a lively, crystalline sparkle, while in softer light it will reveal a deep, saturated oceanic blue that invites contemplation. The clarity and excellent polish ensure that the eye travels uninterrupted across the gem, while the intense color provides an emotional register that can be muted into understatement or amplified into drama according to the setting chosen. For the connoisseur who seeks provenance as much as beauty, the Ceylon origin is a distinction of both history and minerality, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company is dedicated to pairing this gem with settings that honor its lineage and amplify its natural virtues.

The versatility of this sapphire is one of its most seductively practical qualities, and it adapts to a wide variety of jewelry settings with effortless grace. As the centerpiece of a solitaire ring it will declare quiet confidence and refined simplicity, the round form speaking to tradition and the mixed brilliant cut to contemporary brilliance. Enclosed in a halo of fine pave diamonds the intensity of the blue will be heightened, the surrounding white sparkle acting as a luminous frame to increase perceived size and presence. For those who favor architectural design, the sapphire will translate superbly into a three stone ring, paired with trapeze cut or tapered baguette diamonds that lead the eye to the heart of the composition. A bezel setting will render the gem as an enduring talisman, ideal for daily wear, while a cathedral or open basket setting will allow more light to enter, maximizing scintillation. Beyond rings the stone will become a focal point in bespoke pendants, drop earrings, and refined studs, and it will lend singular character to cufflinks and bracelets for clients who wish to carry the essence of Ceylon blue in unexpected ways. Metals such as platinum, and 18 karat white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold will each modify the persona of the sapphire, from cool and modern to warm and vintage. Our artisans can explore contrast and complement, for example by combining rose gold with warm accents or by pairing platinum with high clarity diamonds to create an icy counterpoint that highlights the sapphire color.
