One beautiful transparent GIA certified blue sapphire, 15.87 carat, round shape, measuring 15.29 x 14.98 x 7.20 mm, offers an exceptional combination of size and finesse. This gem features a carving cut that imparts unique surface character and depth, while maintaining a classic round outline that sits beautifully in a variety of settings. The stone is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, showing no visible inclusions to the naked eye, and its medium light color intensity delivers the delicate, classic Ceylon blue tone that collectors and designers prize. Polishing is rated excellent, producing lively reflections and a smooth tactile finish that highlights the carved areas. Importantly, this sapphire has no enhancement, it is unheated, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, with full verification by GIA and a lab color classification of Blue.
As a representative of The Natural Sapphire Company I can tell you that a 15.87 carat, unenhanced Ceylon sapphire of this size and quality is a rare opportunity for a bespoke piece or an heirloom investment. Its transparent body and carving cut make it ideal for settings where both color and surface detail can be appreciated, such as a low-profile bezel to protect the carved bezel, an open halo to enhance perceived size, or a pendant to allow light to play across the carved surface. For metal pairing, warm yellow gold can accentuate the lighter blue tones, while platinum or white gold will emphasize the stone s clarity and cool hue. Care is straightforward, avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning if the setting has heavy engraving, and have the mount checked periodically to keep the stone secure. The GIA report accompanies the gem, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company is available to assist with certification details, custom design consultations, and secure worldwide shipping. Please contact us to view the complete GIA documentation, discuss mounting options, or arrange an appointment to see this exceptional Ceylon sapphire in person.
