1.12 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A gem is a story of earth, time, and human hands, and this Other certified White 1.12 carat radiant shape white sapphire tells that story with clarity and grace. Born in the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place long celebrated for producing sapphires of exceptional character, this stone began as a mineral crystal slowly formed under heat and pressure, deep within ancient rocks. Miners in Sri Lanka have a lineage of knowledge passed down through generations, and that quiet expertise guided the recovery of this crystal from alluvial gravels where light and water polish rough gems even before they reach the cutter. The radiant cut chosen for this sapphire maximizes its natural transparency and near colorless color intensity, while the excellent polish and precise proportions, measuring 5.88 x 5.32 x 3.86 mm, reveal the stone as a balanced and lively jewel. At 1.12 carats the gem sits at a sweet point between everyday wearability and notable presence, and its clarity graded as very very slightly included at eye level ensures a clean face up appearance, with minute inclusions that affirm the gem's natural origin rather than detract from its beauty.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we respect the path each stone takes, and we celebrate how origin shapes value and meaning. Ceylon sapphires have a reputation for water like brilliance and a luminous quality that often commands a premium among collectors and connoisseurs, and this white sapphire embodies that legacy. The enhancement through heat treatment is a traditional and stable method used to refine the stone's optical qualities, bringing forward its clarity and brightness without compromising integrity. The result is a transparent, elegant gem that carries with it the history of Sri Lankan soils, the hands of skilled cutters who transformed a rough crystal into a radiant cut, and the careful certification that accompanies Other certified White stones. For someone seeking a piece that connects geological history to personal expression, this sapphire offers provenance, craftsmanship, and classic beauty in a single rare parcel, a jewel that feels at once timeless and intimately tied to its island origin.
