0.97 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.97 carat round green sapphire from Ceylon is a rare find for collectors and bespoke jewelers, with precise dimensions of 5.81 by 5.57 by 3.13 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level, medium color intensity, and an excellent polish. Compared with heat treated or fracture filled green sapphires that dominate the market, this stone stands apart because it is completely natural, with no enhancement. The mixed brilliant cut marries a sparkling crown with a faceted pavilion, producing lively scintillation and a sense of depth that many standard round cuts lack. At just under one carat this sapphire offers an ideal balance of presence and versatility, delivering the richness of Ceylon color without the premium that larger, heavily saturated stones command. For buyers who value authenticity, durability, and character, this gem outperforms many alternatives that rely on treatments to achieve comparable tones.

When it comes to customization, this green sapphire is exceptionally adaptable, and The Natural Sapphire Company is well suited to help you translate it into a signature piece. Set it as a solitaire in a classic four or six prong setting to showcase its transparency and mixed brilliant fire, or choose a low bezel for a modern, secure profile that protects the girdle while emphasizing the round outline. For greater presence, surround the sapphire with a halo of melee diamonds or contrasting colored stones, which will amplify its medium intensity and create a striking engagement ring or cocktail ring. Consider three stone layouts for symbolic designs, or pair two matched sapphires as drop earrings, where the excellent polish catches light with movement. This gem also performs beautifully in bespoke pendants and tension settings that present the pavilion face for maximum windowed color, and it responds well to custom metal choices, from warm rose gold that complements the green tonality, to cool white gold or platinum for a contemporary contrast. Because of its natural origin and strong polish, the stone is ideal for everyday pieces that benefit from the hardness of sapphire, and our design team can advise on prong profiles and mounting heights to protect the medium depth while maximizing brilliance. Choose The Natural Sapphire Company for expert guidance, transparent sourcing, and a tailored design process that turns this Ceylon green sapphire into a unique heirloom.
