7.83 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Blue Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Few gemstones carry with them a sense of history and continuity quite like Ceylon sapphires, and this exquisite C.Dunaigre certified Blue pair is a living link to that long heritage. Each stone evokes the ancient mines of Sri Lanka where sapphires have been treasured for millennia by kings and collectors, and where the soft, oceanic tones that defined royal jewelry were first admired. These two oval sapphires, weighing 3.70 carats and 4.13 carats respectively, speak to a tradition of refinement and permanence, and they embody a classic elegance that transcends passing fashions. The story of the gem is as much about place and time as it is about beauty, and the provenance of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, bestows on them a legacy of distinction. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that legacy by presenting these gems with the respect and care that such historic stones deserve, ensuring that their lineage and craftsmanship remain as evident as their color.

Beyond provenance, the physical perfection of these sapphires intensifies their timeless appeal, and every technical detail contributes to a visual harmony that is evident from every angle. The stones are oval in outline, with measurements of 11.15 x 8.16 x 5.24 mm and 11.21 x 8.18 x 5.56 mm, and their mixed brilliant cut has been executed to reveal the full architecture of light within each crystal. This cutting style balances scintillation and depth, allowing the sapphire to flash with internal fire while maintaining a velvety, saturated face up presentation. Both stones are described as transparent Blue, and their vivid color intensity is pure and compelling without any hint of muddiness, traits that are prized in traditional Ceylon material. Clarity is an important part of this story, and these sapphires have a clarity grade of eye clean evaluated at eye level, which means that to the unaided eye they appear flawless and free of inclusions that would disturb their visual purity. The polish is excellent, and that final finishing touch ensures that light skims each facet and translates into a surface brilliance that complements the internal hue and tone.

When you view these sapphires from different perspectives the workmanship and natural quality reveal themselves in subtle ways, and it is this interplay of optical performance and geological history that makes them so compelling. From the crown they present a vivid and saturated blue that immediately engages the viewer, while from oblique viewpoints their mixed brilliant faceting returns lively scintillation, a rhythmic play of light that animates the stone without overpowering the serene depth of color. The excellent polish enhances this effect, creating mirror like facet junctions that sharpen reflections and add to the perception of clarity and precision. The enhancement by heat treatment is a well established practice that is disclosed here to preserve full transparency about the gems provenance and condition, and it serves to stabilize and intensify the natural color in a way that is consistent with the finest trade standards. As a matched pair, these sapphires offer symmetry in hue and form while remaining individual in their inner character, ideal for classic matched jewelry such as earrings or for a bespoke piece that honors tradition. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company they come with certification and provenance that affirm their origin and quality, and they are ready to bring a sense of enduring beauty and historical resonance to a new chapter of ownership.
