13.61 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a remarkable gemstone that embodies the epitome of nature’s beauty: a transparent GRS certified Vivid Blue “Royal Blue” sapphire. This exquisite gemstone, weighing 13.61 carats, is fashioned in the sophisticated asscher-octagon shape. Its dimensions of 12.16 x 11.29 x 9.24 mm ensure a substantial presence while allowing it to showcase its remarkable attributes with grace. The asscher cut is particularly noteworthy, as it highlights the sapphire’s clarity and color through a unique geometric brilliance. The precise facets and symmetrical design elevate the sapphire’s natural vibrancy, capturing and reflecting light in a manner that draws the eye.

One of the distinctive features of this sapphire is its eye-clean clarity. Carefully evaluated at eye level, the stone displays no visible inclusions or blemishes, a testament to its superior quality and rarity. The vivid color intensity of this gem, aptly described as “Royal Blue,” sets it apart from other sapphires. This intensity is the result of precise geological conditions unique to the gemstone's origin, Ceylon (Sri Lanka), a region renowned for producing stones of exceptional hue and saturation. For discerning collectors and clients who value the authenticity and historical provenance of their gems, the Sri Lankan origin further enhances the gemstone’s allure and value.

When compared to lab-grown gemstones, the virtues of natural stones such as this sapphire become readily apparent. Although lab-grown alternatives can mimic the aesthetic aspects of natural stones, they often lack the unique coloration and depth that are only achieved through natural formation over millennia. A natural sapphire not only carries with it a rich historical journey but also the subtle imperfections carved by nature that add to its individuality and character. The inclusions found in natural sapphires serve as the fingerprint of a stone, adhering to silicate layers that reveal the gem’s long geological history. These intrinsic qualities are perpetually echoed through an unparalleled fire and confidence when mounted in fine jewelry, attributes harder to replicate or simulate with synthetic methods.

Furthermore, craftsmanship plays a pivotal role in differentiating natural sapphires. The asscher cut, with its flawless proportions and angular precision, is the result of years of acquired skill in gem cutting. This cut optimizes the natural sapphire’s essence and color intensity. The excellent polish of this sapphire offered by The Natural Sapphire Company ensures that every facet meets stringent standards, maximizing its luminosity and elegance. In contrast, lab-grown stones are generally mass-produced, lacking the unique touch of personal craftsmanship applied to a natural gem. Selecting a natural sapphire, therefore, becomes an endorsement of artisanal virtue and nature's unparalleled beauty.

This GRS certified Vivid Blue “Royal Blue” sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company reflects an extraordinary confluence of nature’s mastery and human craftsmanship. Its illustrious hue and eye-clean clarity become more than mere aesthetics; they transform into a narrative of authenticity and complexity that speaks to the heart of those who appreciate not only gemstones but the intricacies that make them distinct. Whether set in a majestic ring or as a central piece in a piece of bespoke jewelry, this sapphire is certain to captivate and inspire, a true celebration of natural splendor that wears its royal legacy with pride.
