1.18 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the ravines of Ceylon Sri Lanka to the precise hands of master cutters, this pear shape white sapphire tells a story of place and craft, from earth to art. We at The Natural Sapphire Company hand selected this transparent 1.18 carat gem for its elegant balance of size and presence, its dimensions of 5.56 by 6.52 by 4.49 mm offering a graceful silhouette that flatters a wide range of jewelry designs. Cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and scintillation, the facets were arranged to capture light and return it as a lively, near colorless glow. The clarity has been evaluated at very very slightly included at eye level, and an excellent polish gives the surface a mirror like finish, so that every movement enhances its inner sparkle. The stone has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that refines color and clarity without compromising the gem s innate character, and it carries with it the quiet provenance of Sri Lankan sapphire country where generations of miners and cutters have contributed to a legacy of fine gems.

Beyond its story, this sapphire is built for life, ready to be worn every day with confidence. Sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, and that inherent hardness gives exceptional resistance to scratching and abrasion during normal wear. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish help hide minor surface wear over time, while the noted clarity ensures light travels through the gem for lasting brilliance. Because the pear shape concentrates a point, we recommend secure mounting choices that protect the tip such as a well set prong or a bezel setting to guard against impacts, but even with careful daily use the sapphire s toughness and stability make it ideal for engagement rings, pendants, and everyday studs. Heat treatment is permanent and does not reduce durability, so the enhanced appearance you enjoy today will remain. Let this Ceylon white sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company be the center of a piece you wear for years, a gem whose origin and craftsmanship you can feel in every facet.
