1.15 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One exquisite, transparent 1.15 carat oval white sapphire, carefully sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, offers a rare combination of size, clarity, and provenance that will immediately set you apart. This oval measures 7.02 x 5.23 x 3.94 millimeters, a presence that reads confidently on the hand and sits with elegant authority in any fine setting. Cut in a refined mixed brilliant style, the stone has been finished with an excellent polish to maximize its return of light, giving it a lively, modern brilliance that rivals far larger gems. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is graded very very slightly included, which means inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem’s transparent purity, allowing the near colorless body to read clean and luminous. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance the stone’s inherent beauty, a stable and widely accepted practice that brings out the best in high quality Ceylon sapphires, and that provenance from Ceylon lends a storied, collectible pedigree that connoisseurs prize.

This sapphire’s dimensions and clarity make it an ideal centerpiece for a statement piece that balances presence with refinement, calling attention without shouting. At 1.15 carats, with a generous face up size thanks to its oval proportions, it commands a visual prominence that works beautifully as a solitaire engagement stone, a striking cocktail ring, or as the focal point of a bespoke pendant. The mixed brilliant cut yields scintillation and flashes of white light that dance across the crown with movement, while the excellent polish ensures a smooth, reflective surface that enhances perceived size and depth. The near colorless intensity gives this gem extraordinary versatility, pairing seamlessly with platinum for a cool, contemporary look, or with warm yellow gold to create a striking, vintage inspired contrast. Because the clarity is very very slightly included at eye level, the stone presents as virtually eye clean to most observers, delivering a crisp, transparent appearance that reads as both rare and natural, a quality collectors and jewelers alike recognize as exceptional in a stone of this caliber.
