13.99 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite blue sapphire weighs 13.99 carats, a substantial and rare weight that immediately marks this stone as premium grade, and the generous carat size allows the intense Ceylon blue to display with commanding presence in any fine jewelry setting. The stone is cut in an emerald shape, with precise proportions of 16.13 x 12.50 x 7.40 mm, and the elongated step facets emphasize color depth and clarity while providing elegant architectural lines that suit both classic and contemporary designs. Evaluated at eye level the clarity is graded Very Very Slightly Included, which means inclusions are minimal and do not distract from the gem at normal viewing distances, and this contributes to both beauty and durability. The color intensity is described as intense, a highly desirable saturation for Ceylon sapphires, and the excellent polish enhances light return and surface brilliance. This sapphire has undergone routine heat treatment, an accepted enhancement that improves color and clarity while being stable and permanent, and the documented origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds provenance that educated buyers value for its reputation for producing vivid, velvety blue sapphires.
