1.14 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a long and noble tradition that surrounds colorless and near colorless sapphires, a lineage that stretches from the royal treasuries of Ceylon to the storied collections that once sheltered the Koh i Noor and the Star of India, and this 1.14 carat oval white sapphire quietly carries that legacy. Mined in Sri Lanka, the historic homeland of the most celebrated sapphires, this gem measures 6.69 by 5.68 by 4.15 millimeters, and is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that is designed to capture light with the same scintillating rhythm that made famous diamonds and prized historical sapphires unforgettable. At eye level the clarity is very slightly included, which allows the stone to retain a natural and honest character, while its near colorless tone and excellent polish grant it an elegant neutrality that echoes the icy brilliance of famous white gems, but with a softer, warmer soul that speaks of centuries of gem cutting and connoisseurship.

The unique value of this Ceylon white sapphire lies in its combination of provenance, performance, and personality, qualities that The Natural Sapphire Company celebrates and preserves. Unlike the storied diamonds such as the Hope or Cullinan which owe their fame to incomparable size and color, this sapphire offers a refined alternative for those who prize heritage and wearability, its durability standing beside history as a jewel meant to be worn daily and passed down through generations. The heat treatment used to enhance its clarity and stability is a time honored and accepted process that accentuates the stone s natural virtues, while the mixed brilliant cut maximizes sparkle and life, making it an ideal centerpiece for a classic engagement ring or a treasured heirloom pendant. For a collector who admires the great gems of the past but seeks a stone with a quieter and more personal narrative, this oval white sapphire from Ceylon embodies timelessness, understated majesty, and the promise of a new chapter in a long unfolding history.
