1.24 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine the moment you lift a small velvet box and see a gem that seems to hold a clear, honest light, a stone that speaks of promises and quiet, joyful beginnings. This transparent white sapphire, certified and brought to you with care by The Natural Sapphire Company, weighs 1.24 carats and is cut in a classic round shape. Its precise measurements of 6.02 by 6.08 by 4.44 millimeters give it a beautiful presence on the hand, balanced and timeless. The mixed brilliant cut has been masterfully executed to capture and return light in a lively, scintillating display, while the excellent polish ensures every facet gleams like a polished memory. Heat treated as is customary for many fine sapphires to enhance clarity and brilliance, this gem remains natural at heart, originating from the storied mines of Ceylon in Sri Lanka. The colorless intensity is rare and captivating, offering a crystalline purity that complements every skin tone and every style, whether set in a delicate engagement ring, a meaningful pendant, or an heirloom piece you will pass down with pride.

When you place this sapphire under light you will notice the combination of fire and clarity that only a well cut stone can offer. The mixed brilliant cut blends a crown of facets that maximize sparkle with a pavilion that returns light with depth and play. Because this sapphire is very very slightly included at eye level, you enjoy near flawless transparency with the reassurance that the tiny internal characteristics are not visible without magnification, leaving the naked eye to enjoy an almost crystalline perfection. The excellent polish creates a smooth, reflective surface that enhances every flicker of light and every turn of the wearer. The modest depth and the balanced table, together with the precise dimensions, mean the gem sits comfortably and confidently in a setting, reflecting personality and sentiment with every movement. In the hands of an artisan jeweller, this stone will become a living piece of jewelry that seems to breathe with laughter and memory, a bright punctuation mark in the story of a life lived with purpose and love.

Durability matters when you choose a gemstone meant to be worn daily, and this sapphire stands out for its strength. On the Mohs hardness scale, sapphire registers at 9, making it one of the hardest gemstones available, second only to diamond at 10. For context, quartz, commonly used in fashion jewelry, is a 7 on the Mohs scale, and topaz is an 8. That significant difference means this white sapphire will resist scratches and abrasions in ways that softer stones cannot, ensuring that the gleam you see today will continue to shine for years to come. The heat treatment applied to enhance the stone is stable and widely accepted in the trade, and it does not compromise the inherent robustness of corundum. The combination of a VVS like clarity at eye level, an excellent polish, and a hardness of 9 makes this gem an ideal choice for an engagement ring or a treasured everyday piece, because it can face the daily rhythms of life while preserving its beauty. Simple care, such as gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, protects its surface, and its inherent hardness minimizes the risk from ordinary knocks and bumps.
