1.15 Ct. Color Change Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

You have a clear sense of what matters in a truly exceptional gemstone, whether you are searching for the perfect engagement stone that will be worn every day, or adding a rare and beautiful specimen to a collector’s cabinet. This 1.15 carat round shape color change sapphire answers both needs with confidence, and it comes directly from the careful sourcing and expertise of The Natural Sapphire Company. Precisely cut to measurements of 5.86 by 5.86 by 4.22 millimeters, this transparent sapphire combines a mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish to deliver consistent sparkle, ideal proportions for both classic solitaire settings and more intricate halo designs. With a clarity grade described as eye clean when evaluated at eye level, and a medium intense color intensity that shows a lively presence without overpowering elegance, this sapphire is the marriage of everyday wearability and showpiece impact that serious buyers seek.

What defines this stone is its color change character, a trait that turns ordinary jewelry into conversation pieces, and collectors into custodians of natural phenomena. Under cool fluorescent lighting the sapphire reflects cooler violet and bluish tones, while under warm incandescent light it shifts toward a richer, warmer purple that feels intimate and alive. The mixed brilliant cut enhances both color and fire, balancing large faceted planes to return flashes of light and color change with every movement. Because the cut was executed to emphasize the stone’s natural pleochroic and color change properties, you get an engaging interplay of hue and brilliance whether the stone is set in a ring, pendant, or precision display mount.

Beyond color and cut, the integrity of this gem is where its long term appeal and value is secured. This sapphire has not undergone any enhancement, a characteristic that adds to its rarity and the confidence a discerning buyer can have in its natural beauty. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a historic and respected source for fine sapphires, the stone carries the pedigree collectors prize. Its eye clean clarity means that at normal viewing distances there are no visible inclusions to distract from the color, and the excellent polish ensures light travels beautifully through the facets, maximizing brilliance and scintillation. These technical virtues combine to create a gem that reads as both refined and robust, the sort of object that becomes a familiar signature in your jewelry collection.

Owning this sapphire is an investment in both beauty and craftsmanship. As a durable variety of corundum, sapphire is prized for its capacity to endure daily wear, resisting scratches and maintaining its polished surface for generations. The craftsmanship here is twofold, starting with the slow, expert decision making in selecting an unenhanced Ceylon rough with color change potential, and continuing through the cutter’s choices that preserved weight, optimized proportions, and revealed the best possible color shift without sacrificing brilliance. This is the kind of piece that appreciates emotionally as an heirloom and stands the test of time in terms of style and physical integrity. The Natural Sapphire Company provides provenance, photographic documentation, and the assurance that your purchase reflects ethical sourcing and gemological verification, so your investment is as sound as it is beautiful.

To realize the full potential of this 1.15 carat color change sapphire, consider settings that showcase its dimension and color dynamics, such as a low profile four or six prong solitaire to let light move freely around the stone, or a warm metal halo to complement the richer incandescent tones. For everyday wear, secure prong or bezel settings protect the girdle while allowing the pavilion to fire light back to the eye. We recommend routine gentle cleaning and occasional professional checkups to keep the polish and setting in optimum condition. If your quest is for a singular engagement gem, a rare collector’s addition, or a bespoke commission that tells a story, this Ceylon color change sapphire is the natural conclusion, a refined and rare choice that answers the needs of both the heart and the connoisseur, and The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to guide you through customization, certification, and confident ownership.
