Soft Blue 0.88ct Natural Ceylon Sapphire
This 0.88 carat natural blue sapphire from Ceylon features a softly saturated sky-blue color and a distinctive pear-shaped cut. Its gentle color and subdued luster give the stone an understated character, making it an affordable option for someone who values natural origin and individuality rather than intense saturation.
This earth-sourced sapphire has been cut and polished into a faceted pear shape measuring approximately 6.65 × 4.89 mm. The stone has SI clarity, with natural inclusions and surface characteristics visible under close viewing and magnification. These features are part of the sapphire’s natural formation and are shown honestly in the photographs.

Transparent Sapphire Treatment Disclosure
This natural sapphire has been heated, a widely accepted and stable treatment used for many sapphire gemstones. Heating does not make the stone synthetic; it remains a natural, earth-sourced sapphire. Its treatment and clarity characteristics are disclosed clearly to help you make an informed purchase.
Learn more about heated and unheated sapphire gemstones in our Natural Sapphire and Colored Gemstone Buying Guide. It also explains how Ceylon sapphires compare with Australian sapphires, Madagascan sapphires and other natural colored gemstones.
What Could You Create with This Pear-Shaped Sapphire?
This pear-cut loose sapphire could become the center of a delicate promise ring, right-hand ring, anniversary ring or contemporary pendant. Its cool sky-blue color would pair naturally with white gold or platinum, while yellow or rose gold could create a warmer contrast.
A small natural diamond halo could add brightness and create a larger face-up appearance. For a ring, we recommend asking your jewelry maker to protect the pointed end with a V-shaped prong or a secure bezel. The stone may also suit a pear-shaped semi-mount jewelry setting, but the jeweler should confirm the exact measurements before beginning the work.

Correct size and weigh.

I LOVE my ring, thank you so much Sapphirepal
It fits perfectly and I love the setting too. The stones are stunning!!!
Thank you again for delivering quality and helpful support.
Before making a purchase, I inquired if they would also create a setting for whichever gemstone I chose. After they confirmed they would, I found the most beautiful purple/lavender sapphire. I purchase the stone and then sent them the vision I have for the setting. They delivered 100% of what I asked for and even more I could’ve dreamed of. The east to west half bezel sapphire ring is truly breathtaking. Communication was easy, fast and they were super honest about delays and whatnot. Even when I changed my mind on a few details in the beginning, they were so kind and had no problem adjusting what I asked for or confirming any questions I had. I’m so thankful to have worked with Sapphire Pal. Truly, thank you for bringing my sapphire ring dream to life! <3
Smaller than anticipated but absolutely beautiful 😄 Shipping was quick, and it was handled with care.
鑑別書もあって安心感があって良かった。
I had a very positive experience purchasing from SapphirePal. Pete was responsive, patient and professional throughout the process, and took the time to answer my questions in detail. He also provided additional photos and videos when requested, which was very helpful when buying a gemstone online.
The stone arrived safely, well packaged and as described, with the certification included. Overall, a smooth and reassuring experience, and I would happily recommend SapphirePal!
Absolutely stunning purchase once again from Sapphirepal 🤩 thsnk you !!
Very happy with colour and cut. A really pretty stone that I look forward to seeing as jewellery.
OMG, just spectacular, and excellent quality. Thanks again for your wonderful service and super quick postage time. I can't wait until I find my next precious gem.
Just stunning. I love this bi- Color sapphire. Flawless to look at, and expertly packaged and presented for my collection. Communication and postage time were exceptional. Thank you. I can’t wait until I have saved enough for my next special gem.
This gemstone is just perfect. My only criticism is the photos on your site were not the best quality for me. However, reading the description of this gem, together with photos, I took the plunge and ordered this true gem. I was so very pleasantly surprised when it arrived, as it certainly held up to its reputation. This is the first time I have purchased from sapphire pal. And I don’t think it will be my last either. Communication, fast delivery, and accurate descriptions, all to be commended. Thank you.
Very good quality sapphires and fast shipping! Thank you!
Hello! 🇺🇦I just wanted to thank you — my grey spinel from Australia has finally arrived in Ukraine. The stone is absolutely beautiful and exactly what I hoped for! Thank you for the great service, smooth delivery, and amazing customer support. Your support was invaluable at every stage of the long delivery journey. I’m really happy with my purchase and will definitely be ordering only from you from now on!
I received what i expected. The stones are with the certificates of authenticity. Had a little bit delay with the delivery due to post issues, I will buy the stones which are much bigger. It was a first try to buy on line. Highly recommend gem stones in this shop.
Absolutely wonderful stone. Great and fast customer service. My stone is actually 1.13ct so it was a tiny bit larger than listed, the colours are true to the photos (stunning!), had a jeweller look at it who said it was a "very nice QLD sapphire". Very very happy customer.
