0.35 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 0.35 carat round blue sapphire presents precise proportions and refined finishing that make it suitable for a classic engagement setting. The stone measures 4.14 x 4.17 x 2.63 mm and is cut to a mixed brilliant pattern that balances table size with pavilion depth to deliver controlled fire and face up brilliance. Color is the defining attribute, showing an intense blue saturation that remains uniform across the crown and pavilion, and polish is graded excellent for clean facet junctions and smooth reflections. Clarity is described as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, indicating minor internal characteristics that do not detract from overall appearance or durability. The sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement for sapphires from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where this stone originates, and the combination of origin and treatment contributes to its consistent hue and visual appeal.

For an engagement application this sapphire offers a balance of presence and practicality, suitable for solitaire, halo, or three stone compositions. At 0.35 carat the gem provides a refined focal point on a slender band, while the intense color yields strong visual impact even at smaller sizes, making it an excellent choice for designs that emphasize color rather than scale. The mixed brilliant cut enhances light performance under various lighting conditions, and the very slightly included clarity supports secure setting options without concern for significant inclusions reaching the girdle. The natural provenance from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is often associated with desirable blue tones, and when paired with secure mounting practices, this heat treated sapphire will serve well in daily wear. The Natural Sapphire Company provides documentation and value considerations for each stone, and this sapphire is presented with the technical attributes that allow a jeweler or client to plan a setting that showcases its intense blue color and refined polish.
