1.36 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent Other certified White sapphire, weighing 1.36 carats, presents itself as a refined statement of classical gemmaking and enduring beauty. This gem, cut in a radiant shape, measures 6.38 by 5.22 by 4.17 millimeters, and displays a near colorless color intensity that allows light to travel through its body with admirable clarity. Evaluated at eye level, the stone reads as very slightly included, a clarity grade that speaks to natural origin while remaining visually clean for everyday wear. The polish is excellent, and the gem has received careful heat treatment, a traditional enhancement that has been used for generations to reveal the inherent purity and brightness of the material. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this white sapphire carries with it the provenance of one of the oldest and most storied sapphire producing regions in the world, and as offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, it is presented with the kind of documentation and expertise that collectors and connoisseurs appreciate.

Sapphires from Ceylon have been treasured for centuries, moving along ancient trade routes and finding places of honor in royal treasuries and sacred objects. White sapphires in particular have enjoyed a quiet, noble history, prized for their association with purity, clarity of thought, and fidelity, attributes that made them fitting choices for ceremonial rings and protective talismans. In many cultures a white stone was considered a mirror for the soul, a calming presence worn close to the heart during rites of passage and significant life moments. This 1.36 carat white sapphire aligns with those traditional uses, and whether set into an engagement ring, an heirloom pendant, or a signet style piece, the gem will translate the ancient language of gemstone symbolism into a contemporary legacy. The stone, with its Ceylon origin, carries a lineage that speaks of skilled miners, seasoned cutters, and generations of appreciation, and owning such a gem is to participate in a continuity that links past craftsmanship to future memory.

The radiant cut of this sapphire brings a modern versatility to centuries old reverence, combining trimmed corners with a faceting pattern that encourages lively scintillation while maintaining a formal, architectural silhouette. The interplay of light across the pavilion and crown is emphasized by the excellent polish, and the near colorless body allows for a pure, luminous sparkle that can mimic the clean brilliance associated with white gemstones throughout history. Very slightly included at eye level, the stone reveals natural character only upon careful inspection, and this subtlety contributes to an authenticity that many collectors and traditionalists admire. Heat treatment has been applied in a controlled manner, a lapidary practice with deep roots in gem cutting, intended to stabilize and enhance the stone rather than alter its essential nature. The precise dimensions of 6.38 by 5.22 by 4.17 millimeters make this gem ideal for settings that balance presence with practicality, and jewelers working in classic motifs such as bezel settings, cathedral mounts, or three stone arrangements will find the proportions translate well into designs that honor historical silhouettes.
