1.10 Ct. Bluish Grey Star Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite star sapphire is a rare opportunity for the collector who seeks something truly singular, presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company. We offer a translucent 1.10 carat oval bluish grey star sapphire with measured dimensions of 7.15 x 5.85 x 2.30 mm, cut as a classic cabochon to best reveal its asterism. The color reads as a soft bluish grey with light color intensity, creating an ethereal, almost moonlit presence that shifts subtly as it moves in light. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which in this instance enhances the internal silk that gives rise to the sharp, pleasing star without detracting from the stone s intrinsic purity. The polish is excellent, yielding a smooth, lustrous surface that allows the six ray star to glide across the dome with crisp definition. Importantly, this gem has received no enhancement, a fact that preserves its natural origin and integrity, and it hails from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance that is synonymous with some of the most sought after star sapphires in the world.

The asterism in this sapphire is a defining feature that elevates it to a status beyond ordinary gems, creating a focal point that reads as both meditative and majestic. Under a single point light source the star centers and moves smoothly, drawing the eye to its center and then allowing the viewer to appreciate the subtle bluish grey body color and the translucent glow beneath. Because the stone is naturally untreated, the silk that produces the star is genuine and stable, giving confidence that the effect will endure for generations. For clients who favor bespoke pieces, this gem is ideally suited to an elegant solitaire setting that showcases the cabochon profile, or to an intimate halo that frames the star with fine accent stones while preserving its serene character. The satin plane of white metal such as platinum or white gold will harmonize with the cool tones of the sapphire and emphasize the star, while a thin bezel can protect the domed surface without detracting from the light play. For a contrast that highlights the stone s unique hue, a warm yellow gold mount offers a vintage inspired aesthetic, and hand crafted prong work can allow maximum light interaction for the best visual performance.
