Product description

If you are searching for a star sapphire that combines undeniable presence with natural purity, this gem answers that need in every way. This beautiful semi transparent blue star sapphire weighs 16.03 carats, and is cut into an elegant oval with dimensions of 14.40 x 11.35 x 8.62 mm, providing a substantial yet wearable size for a striking ring or a prominent pendant. The gem is fashioned as a cabochon to best reveal the dramatic star effect, and it displays a clarity grade of eye clean evaluated at eye level, meaning that when worn and viewed normally it shows no distracting inclusions. Color is a serene medium light blue that reads as soothing and refined in most light conditions, and the polish is excellent which allows the asterism to glide smoothly across the surface as the stone moves. Importantly this sapphire is untreated with no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long prized for producing classic, highly sought sapphires. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize gemstones whose natural characteristics stand on their own, and this particular star sapphire does that with confidence.

For someone choosing a gem for a meaningful occasion or for a discerning collection, the characteristics of this sapphire are exactly the qualities collectors and thoughtful buyers ask for. The cabochon shape and excellent polish create a strong centered star asterism that appears crisp under a single point light source, and the semi transparent body strikes a harmonious balance between glow and depth, allowing the star to float on a subtle field of blue. The eye clean clarity ensures that the beauty of the star is not interrupted by visible inclusions in everyday viewing, and the moderate size and proportions make it versatile for bespoke jewellery design options. Whether your desire is an engagement ring that stands apart from the ordinary, a statement cocktail ring that commands attention, or a pendant that carries a quiet authority, this stone adapts to each role while retaining its natural integrity. Collectors who value origin and authenticity will appreciate the provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and the fact that it is completely natural with no heat treatment or other enhancement adds rarity and long term value.

When you are ready to make a confident choice for a star sapphire that fulfills both emotional and technical expectations, The Natural Sapphire Company is here to guide you through selection and setting. We can help you visualize the gem in different mounting styles that protect the cabochon and display the star to best advantage, and our workshop can create bespoke settings that balance security and light exposure to accentuate the asterism. For daily wear a secure bezel or soft prong setting is recommended to protect the smooth dome while allowing the star to be seen on the go, and for a pendant a low profile mount will let the stone sit close to the skin while still performing beautifully. We can provide detailed photos and lighting videos to show the asterism live, and we will share all of the gem s specifications including carat weight, shape, exact dimensions, cut style, clarity grade eye clean evaluated at eye level, medium light color intensity, excellent polish, no enhancement, and origin Ceylon Sri Lanka so you have full confidence in your purchase. If your goal is to mark a milestone, assemble a refined collection, or design an heirloom quality piece, this 16.03 carat Ceylon star sapphire is a rare and natural solution that completes the search, and we at The Natural Sapphire Company are ready to help you bring it into the next chapter of its life.
