1.28 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

Presented by Srilon Gems, this transparent 1.28 carat oval blue sapphire is a refined expression of classic Ceylon beauty, combining vivid natural character with the precision expected in fine gemstone cutting. Measuring 7.53 x 5.31 x 4.10 mm, the sapphire has been expertly fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that enhances brilliance while maintaining excellent color concentration across the entire stone. Its intense blue color immediately captures attention, displaying the lively and radiant tone that has made Ceylon sapphires from Sri Lanka admired throughout the world for centuries. Under natural light the gem reveals vibrant flashes of royal blue, while softer indoor lighting introduces rich velvety undertones that give the stone remarkable depth and elegance.

The clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the sapphire appears exceptionally clean to the naked eye while still preserving the natural fingerprint that confirms its genuine earth formed origin. An excellent polish gives the surface crisp facet reflections and superior light return, allowing the gemstone to display impressive brilliance from every angle. The sapphire has undergone heat treatment, a stable and widely accepted enhancement within the fine gemstone trade that improves overall color and clarity while maintaining long term durability and value. Fully disclosed and professionally graded, this treatment remains standard practice for high quality sapphires worldwide.

At 1.28 carats, this oval blue sapphire reaches a highly desirable size category where rarity, visual presence, and investment appeal intersect. The carefully balanced proportions allow the gem to face up larger than many sapphires of comparable weight, making it an exceptional choice for a luxury engagement ring, custom pendant, or heirloom jewelry design. Combining intense Ceylon blue color, excellent polish, eye clean clarity, and a prestigious Sri Lankan origin, this sapphire embodies timeless sophistication and collectible value. Presented by Srilon Gems, it is a gemstone selected for buyers who appreciate authenticity, brilliance, and the enduring prestige of natural Ceylon sapphires.
