Natural Blue Sapphire — 1.00 Carat, Heated, Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A classic Ceylon sapphire in a rich, velvety blue with excellent saturation and brilliance. This 1-carat stone is cut with well-balanced proportions that hold color evenly across the face of the stone, avoiding the dark “extinction” windowing common in poorly-cut sapphires. Sourced from Sri Lanka’s legendary sapphire gravels, this gem shows the pure, saturated blue tone the region is famous for.

Ceylon sapphires are among the most recognized and sought-after in the world for their pure blue hue and excellent transparency.
