16.14 Ct. Blue Star Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that simply exist as objects, and there are gemstones that become statements. This 16.14 carat oval blue star sapphire, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, belongs unmistakably to the latter category. Semi-translucent and carved as a classic cabochon, it captures light with the calm authority of a midnight sky, while the star at its heart moves with a subtle and mesmerizing intelligence. To hold this sapphire is to hold a rare convergence of nature and craft, a singular example of gemological artistry that confers distinction on any setting and declares the wearer someone who prizes authenticity and rare natural beauty.

The gemological credentials are as impressive as the visual presence. GIA certified, with a lab color classification of Blue, this stone exhibits vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that amplifies its velvety depth. The dimensions are 14.10 by 11.40 by 9.33 millimeters, forming an elegant oval that lends itself to everything from a solitary signet to a bespoke pendant designed to highlight the star. The cabochon cut has been executed to reveal the stone’s asterism with clarity and grace, and the clarity grade is very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, a testament to the gem’s natural origin and structural integrity. There has been no enhancement, the sapphire remaining wholly natural in its development, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance renowned among connoisseurs for producing sapphires of exceptional color and character.

Owning a sapphire of this caliber is to possess a piece of history formed over millennia, and to align oneself with the refined tradition of collectors and jewelers who understand that true luxury is defined by rarity and integrity. The vivid blue of this star sapphire is not merely color, it is presence, an atmospheric hue that commands attention without ostentation. The star itself offers a living focal point, the six ray phenomenon dancing gently as light moves, creating moments of discovery each time the gem is admired. For the collector who appreciates stones that factor into a larger narrative of provenance and purity, this gem is exemplary. It is ideal for a dramatic solitaire ring set in platinum for daily wear, a statement pendant where the domed silhouette can be admired against the skin, or an heirloom brooch that will carry its story forward through generations.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate such extraordinary stones for clients who seek more than ornamentation, for individuals who desire jewels that articulate success and taste. The GIA certification provides documented assurance of the sapphire’s natural, unenhanced nature and its precise attributes, while the Sri Lankan origin speaks to a lineage of quality that specialists recognize immediately. Commission a setting that complements the stone’s proportions and let the cabochon form and its vivid blue embrace breathe. Whether worn as a private indulgence or revealed at a moment of celebration, this 16.14 carat star sapphire is a rare opportunity to own an authentic marvel, and to make a lasting statement about aesthetic judgment and the appreciation of the extraordinary.
