0.90 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One translucent and exceptionally pure example of nature and craft, this Other certified White sapphire, weighing 0.90 carat, presents itself in a refined emerald cut that defines restraint and elegance, the precise proportions measuring 5.37 by 4.11 by 3.59 millimeters. Sourced from the storied mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this gem carries with it the legacy of sapphire country, an origin that has long been associated with some of the world’s most coveted stones. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this stone as a demonstration of what discerning connoisseurs seek, a jewel that is at once rare, wearable, and unmistakably luxurious. The gem’s transparent body, colorless color intensity, and excellent polish allow it to sit in the light with a composure usually reserved for stones of far greater carat weight, and its emerald cut underscores a geometry that emphasizes clarity and subtle brilliance rather than loud sparkle, creating an air of quiet command on the hand.

True white sapphires of this size and purity are an uncommon find, and this piece distinguishes itself dramatically from the typical near colorless or faintly tinted white sapphires that populate the market. Where many stones rely on treatment to remove color or to enhance visual appeal, this sapphire arrives to the collector without enhancement, a pure expression of its geological history. The rarity here is twofold, in both pristine colorlessness and in a very elegant near one carat size that is unusually well balanced in an emerald cut. For those who understand the subtleties of gemstone grading, the absence of enhancement elevates its desirability, because it preserves the stone’s natural character and provenance, and because untreated white sapphires of this clarity and size are sought after by jewelers and collectors who prize authenticity and longevity above transient trends.

The emerald cut chosen for this stone is a study in refined proportion and light control, its long, stepped facets producing a hall of mirrors effect that rewards close inspection and deliberate movement. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to the gem’s exceptional transparency, because it allows the faceted planes to read cleanly even under scrutiny. The excellent polish further magnifies the gem’s inner architecture, giving each facet the crisp edge and mirror finish required to convey sophistication rather than flash. In wearable terms, the cut and dimensions translate into an understated brilliance that sits elegantly on the finger, as shown in imagery of the stone set in a minimal solitaire, where the elongated table draws the eye and flatters the length of the finger for an elegant and modern silhouette.

Provenance matters deeply when value and story are part of the purchase, and this sapphire’s Ceylon origin places it within a lineage of stones prized for their balance of color, clarity, and character. The Natural Sapphire Company offers not only this gem, but the assurance that it has been handled with the respect and expertise that such rarities demand, including careful documentation and certification. The fact that this stone is unenhanced and described as Other certified White increases its appeal for clients who view gemstone ownership as a long term possession and as a reflection of refined taste. Compared to similarly sized white sapphires, which are often heat treated or otherwise enhanced to achieve a whiter appearance, this gem stands apart because it communicates natural excellence, a quality that resonates with collectors who understand that rarity in the gem world is as much about origin and treatment as it is about size.

Owning this sapphire is an achievement, a statement that your collection contains not only beauty, but a piece of geological integrity and craftsmanship, and The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to assist in transforming this treasure into a personal expression. Whether envisioned as the centerpiece of a bespoke solitaire engagement ring, the refined heart of a three stone composition, or the focal gem in a tailored pendant, its proportions and colorlessness offer extraordinary versatility. We recommend settings that showcase the emerald cut table, such as low profile prongs that permit light to enter the pavilion, or a bespoke bezel with open gallery work to maximize brilliance. For maintenance, gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap and periodic professional inspections will preserve its excellent polish and ensure it remains a legacy piece for generations.
