1.56 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the quiet language of true rarity, this transparent 1.56 carat radiant shape green sapphire speaks with the calm confidence of something both ancient and beautifully alive. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, the gem measures 6.58 by 5.98 by 3.74 mm, its proportions precisely balanced to showcase a radiant cut that marries geometric elegance with an open heart of light. The medium intense color intensity unfolds like a forest at dusk, a refined green whose depth is heightened by an excellent polish and an eye clean clarity grade evaluated at eye level. There has been no enhancement, the stone arriving to you in its natural state, a jewel that asks for nothing but to be worn and admired.

Imagine the journey that created this gem, a narrative that began millions of years ago beneath an element rich skin of land where heat and pressure worked in silent, unhurried collaboration. Deep within the earth corundum crystals formed slowly in metamorphic bedrock, absorbing trace elements that would one day determine their color. For this sapphire, iron and other transition elements wove themselves into the crystal lattice, lending a verdant resonance that is at once rare and sophisticated. Over epochs long, tectonic movement and the slow hand of erosion exhumed these crystals, carrying them from hidden seams into alluvial deposits where nature and careful hands selected the finest. Each facet of the radiant cut is a chapter in that story, cut to reveal the interplay of light and tone that only a naturally formed, untreated Ceylon sapphire can offer.

To own this sapphire is to possess a fragment of geological time, refined into an object of distinction. The Natural Sapphire Company presents it not as a mere accessory, but as a declaration of taste, a piece for the collector who values provenance and natural beauty. With dimensions that suit a range of settings and a clarity that reads immaculate to the unaided eye, this stone invites a design that will elevate both the gemstone and the person who wears it. Whether set as a signature ring, an understated pendant, or a bespoke commission, the gem promises to age into an heirloom, carrying with it the story of Ceylon, the integrity of an unheated stone, and the meticulous craftsmanship that preserved its natural allure. Owning this sapphire is an achievement that quietly asserts refined standards, a private luxury that resonates with history and timeless style.
