13.38 Ct. Blue Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This C.Dunaigre certified Intense Blue 13.38 carat oval shape blue sapphire is a rare and compelling choice for someone who wants to give a truly memorable gift, with dimensions of 14.29 x 12.29 x 8.28 mm, a cabochon cut, and a translucent body that bathes the stone in a steady, luminous glow. The vivid color intensity sets it apart from commercially common blue sapphires that can appear flat or overly dark, and the excellent polish ensures a smooth, satiny surface that plays with light in a way faceted stones cannot replicate. Compared with faceted sapphires of similar weight, this cabochon offers a softer, more meditative presence, ideal for settings where the stone is the focal point, such as a signature ring, a statement pendant, or a bespoke heirloom piece. The clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which is typical for natural Ceylon sapphires and serves as evidence of natural formation rather than synthetic origin. The origin Ceylon Sri Lanka is synonymous with historical prestige and velvety blue tones, and when combined with industry standard heat treatment, the result is a stable, saturated color that retains long term appeal. Buyers comparing options will find this sapphire superior to many lab grown alternatives when authenticity and provenance matter, and superior to lower grade natural stones when looking for a combination of size, color, and surface quality.

The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as a striking gift that conveys thoughtfulness and distinction, the kind of gift that marks milestone moments and creates lasting memories. For someone who appreciates classic beauty with an uncommon twist, the cabochon form offers a tactile, almost organic aesthetic that sits comfortably between fine jewelry and fine art. In terms of value, this sapphire occupies a premium position because of its substantial 13.38 carat weight, its certified origin and treatment, and its intense, well balanced blue that resists the muddy or washed out tones often seen in the market. Compared with spinel or blue topaz alternatives, this Ceylon sapphire combines durability, rarity, and a historical cachet that makes it a superior investment as well as an expressive gift. When presenting it, consider a simple open setting that highlights the oval dimensions and allows light to travel through the translucent body, or a bezel that accentuates the cabochon silhouette for daily wear. For customers seeking reassurance, the certification and clear description of enhancement offer transparency, and our expertise at The Natural Sapphire Company ensures you choose a stone that will be admired for generations.
