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

There is a quiet poetry in a stone that holds the ocean and the sky in a single glance, and this emerald cut bi color sapphire sings that song with a presence that is both subtle and undeniable. We present a beautiful transparent 1.36 carat emerald cut shape bi color sapphire from the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka. Its dimensions are 7.64 x 4.98 x 3.52 mm, a measured silhouette that speaks to careful cutting and elegant proportion. The clean lines of the emerald cut frame a depth of color and clarity that invites the eye to travel across its table and rails, a journey rewarded by flashes of intense blue and softer, whispering tones that shift with every turn. This gem is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, a clarity that allows light to dance unimpeded while preserving the natural fingerprint that marks this sapphire as authentically Ceylon. The polish is excellent, each facet finished to a mirror sheen that amplifies the stone youthful sparkle and gives the bi color effect a crispness that feels like the clearing of a summer sky after rain. We at The Natural Sapphire Company honor the life of this sapphire, from mine to master cutter to your hand, and we celebrate the way its 1.36 carat weight anchors its value and its story.

Weight is more than a number, weight is the heartbeat of a gemstone, the measure by which light and substance are woven into rarity, and the 1.36 carat of this sapphire is a declaration of significance. In the world of sapphires a size like this shifts the conversation from mere ornament to heirloom, because at 1.36 carat the stone carries a presence that is palpable on the finger without ever feeling overpowering. The dimensions of 7.64 x 4.98 x 3.52 mm translate that carat weight into a balanced surface that catches the eye when your hand moves, and holds the gaze when still. Rarity gathers around the weight because sapphires with such refined proportions and a bi color personality are uncommon, the result of perfect geological fortune, patient mining, and expert cutting. Each additional hundredth of a carat increases desirability, and at 1.36 carat this stone occupies a sweet and precious place where the scale of intimacy and prestige meet. Collectors and romantics alike recognize that weight confers value in a tangible way, because heavier stones that retain clarity and color intensity are harder to come by, and therefore more treasured. The emerald cut amplifies the weight into crisp planes of light, a facet architecture that showcases the gem true tone and depth, making every carat count toward a luminous whole.

Color is the sapphire soul, and this gem offers an intense color intensity that reads like a memory of twilight and deep sea. The bi color nature unfolds across the emerald step facets in bands and whispers, a play between richer, royal blue and paler, breezier blue that creates a melody of shade within the stone. The intense color intensity is a major factor in valuation, because such saturated hues are rare in combination with transparency and size. Heat treated enhancement has been applied, a traditional and stable process used to reveal the true voice of many sapphires, not to fabricate one. This careful treatment refines the color, drawing forth deeper blues and cleaner transitions between the bi color zones, while preserving the natural character of the crystal. The excellent polish further elevates the impact, allowing light to move with precision across the facet planes and to exit as crisp flashes that accentuate the intense tone. The clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level promises a clean viewing experience, and those subtle inclusions are like tiny signatures of origin, reassuring you that this is a natural gem with a story. With its 1.36 carat weight combined with such intense color and clarity, the stone becomes a piece whose value is informed by both measurable qualities and by the ineffable magnetism that good sapphires possess.

Imagine this emerald cut bi color sapphire set into a ring that reverberates with meaning, a small monument to a promise or an anniversary, an intimate treasure that fits the hand like a wish made visible. At 1.36 carat the gem is large enough to be admired from across a room, and modest enough to be worn every day as a quiet companion. The origin of Ceylon Sri Lanka adds a layer of legend and romance, because Sri Lankan sapphires have long been prized for their clarity and luminous colors, and because provenance is part of the narrative that turns a stone into family lore. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to imagine this sapphire cradled in a bespoke setting that honors the emerald cut geometry, perhaps flanked by delicate diamonds or embraced by a warm gold bezel, each design choice amplifying the weight and color into a personal statement. Our craftsmen respect the heat treated enhancement and the natural inclusions, we celebrate the 1.36 carat measure as a promise of rarity, and we steward this gem toward a life of celebration and remembrance. In the light of morning and under the hush of evening the stone keeps its glow, a small blue heart that holds your story, and that for many years will remind you of the moment you chose a true sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company.
