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

When you are searching for a singular gemstone that closes the loop on a lifetime of looking, this 1.29 carat oval shape color change sapphire answers that need with confidence. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this transparent treasure measures 6.80 x 5.69 x 4.07 mm, and has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes fire and scintillation. The stone shows an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, and it is free from any enhancement, so you are wearing a gem that is natural and honest. Clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads clean and vivid to the eye, while retaining the internal signatures that prove its natural origin. For someone shopping for the perfect engagement ring, or for a collector who values provenance and untreated material, this sapphire marries practical wearability with a rare optical personality.

What truly defines this sapphire, beyond its measured specifications, are the minute internal inclusions that give it an unmistakable signature. Under magnification you will notice a pattern of tiny reflective crystal inclusions and fine silky needles that catch and scatter light in a way that no synthetic or heavily treated stone can mimic. These natural features form delicate internal flash points, like stars trapped within the blue, which animate the stone as lighting changes and as the gem moves. In this color change sapphire those inclusions work together with subtle color zoning and strong pleochroism to intensify the shift between cooler bluish violet tones and warmer violet blue tones under incandescent light. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies these effects, creating lively flashes from the pavilion and a deep velvety richness from the crown. Because the inclusions are minimal at face up viewing, the gem maintains a transparent, lively window into its depths, while the microscopic mineral clouds and tiny crystal reflections remain a fingerprint unique to this stone, a natural hallmark of Ceylon origin.

Choosing this sapphire means choosing a gem that satisfies both emotional and practical needs. For an engagement ring it gives a wearer dramatic color dynamics during everyday life, with enough clarity and brightness to read brilliantly in solitaire settings, halo designs, or classic three stone rings. For a collector, the untreated origin and the natural inclusion pattern make it a desirable specimen, one whose internal story is legible under loupe and that will age without the uncertainty of enhancement. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select stones for their long term beauty and integrity, and this oval color change sapphire is a clear example of that standard. If you are ready to end the search and own a piece that is as characterful as it is wearable, this sapphire is ready to be set and to begin its life with you.
