Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.28 carat blue sapphire in an oval cut, sourced from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and completely unheated. The oval cut produces a broad face-up surface that makes color visible at viewing distance — a practical advantage for a stone in the cornflower-to-vivid blue range that Ceylon is known for. At 1.28 carats unheated, this sits in a size and quality range where Ceylon blues are genuinely popular for engagement and collector use.
Why Choose this 1.28 ct Unheated Ceylon Blue Sapphire?
Ceylon unheated blue sapphires in the 1–1.5 carat range represent the most liquid tier of the colored gemstone investment market — small enough to be accessible, large enough to show well in jewelry, and with enough documentation infrastructure to verify their status. This 1.28 ct oval offers all three. The oval cut is the most popular shape for Ceylon blue engagement rings, which keeps demand consistent.
