1.16 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite, one-of-a-kind pear shape bi-color sapphire from Ceylon is a rare discovery reserved for collectors and connoisseurs who value individuality and provenance, brought to you by The Natural Sapphire Company. At 1.16 carats and measuring 7.95 by 5.47 by 3.63 millimeters, this transparent gem carries a medium intense color intensity that shifts between delicate greenish-gold and cool blue-gray, a palette unique to certain Sri Lankan deposits. The mixed brilliant cut enhances scintillation and depth while retaining the stone’s natural personality, and the excellent polish allows each facet to sing with light. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very slightly included, a testament to the sapphire’s natural formation rather than a flaw, and the gem has been responsibly heat treated to gently refine its color while preserving its intrinsic character. As with all offerings from The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is presented as an individual treasure, not a mass-produced item, making it a compelling choice for someone seeking an elite, unmistakable piece.

The inclusions within this sapphire are not imperfections to be concealed but unique identifiers that tell its geological story and elevate it above the uniform and the ordinary. Observed at eye level, the stone displays very slight internal features that resemble delicate needles, tiny crystals, and faint growth lines, each element acting like a fingerprint that links the gem to its Ceylon origin and to the specific conditions under which it formed. These internal characteristics can create subtle plays of color and texture, guiding light in unexpected ways and contributing to the stone’s bi-color effect. Rather than diminishing value, these inclusions authenticate the sapphire’s natural birth and assure the discerning owner that they possess an authentic gem with an individual history. Heat treatment, a traditional and widely accepted enhancement, has been applied to refine and stabilize the hue; it harmonizes the bi-color expression without erasing the internal narrative written in mineral inclusions, so the sapphire retains both its visual allure and its geological provenance.

Owning this sapphire means joining an exclusive circle that appreciates rarity and the artisanal aspect of fine gemstones, and The Natural Sapphire Company curates such pieces with meticulous care to ensure they remain rare and cherished. The pear shape, paired with a mixed brilliant cut, offers versatile design possibilities from an elegant solitaire pendant to a bespoke ring framed by delicate accent stones, and its 1.16 carat weight provides a luminous presence that sits comfortably on the hand while remaining eminently wearable. Because each inclusion pattern is unique, our gem specialists can work with you to design a setting that showcases the stone’s bi-color character and internal features, turning them into focal points rather than concealing them. For collectors who prize traceable origin and natural individuality, this Ceylon sapphire stands as a statement piece that will not be replicated; availability is limited by nature and selection, and acquiring it means claiming something truly singular. If you seek a privately sourced treasure that combines proven origin, refined color, and the authentic, signature inclusions that only a natural sapphire can offer, this gem from The Natural Sapphire Company awaits your request for private viewing and bespoke commissioning.
