2.98 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional pear shaped blue sapphire weighs 2.98 carats, and presents a rare combination of substantial size and elegant proportions that make it an ideal centerpiece for custom jewelry. Measuring 13.03 by 7.04 by 4.59 millimeters, the stone has the elongated teardrop silhouette that flatters both pendants and rings, and also creates a graceful drop for bespoke earrings. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the gem balances scintillation and depth, delivering lively brilliance across the pavilion facets while preserving a vivid blue body color that remains consistent throughout the table and shoulders. Clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means that under normal viewing conditions the stone reads as clean, while the minute natural features attest to its genuine origin and authenticity. The polish is excellent, a testament to the skill of the cutter in maintaining strong facet junctions that maximize light return and ensure a glassy, mirror like surface. Enhancement disclosure is transparent, the gem has been heat treated to enhance color and stability, a standard and accepted practice for fine sapphires, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing some of the most coveted blue sapphires in the world. As you hold this gem, you will notice a depth of color described as vivid intensity, the tone vibrant yet balanced, the saturation rich without tipping into darkness, a quality that photographers and connoisseurs both admire.

For designers and clients who commission one of a kind pieces, this sapphire is exceptional because of its dimensions and shape, which invite creativity while reducing the compromise often required with smaller or irregular stones. The length to width ratio and the pointed apex allow for classic solitaire settings that emphasize the teardrop outline, and also lend themselves to halo designs that can either dramatize the vivid blue with a ring of diamonds or soften it with a frame of complementary gemstones. In a ring, the stone sits elegantly along the finger, creating elongation and a refined profile, while in a pendant a simple bezel or a bespoke claw setting will showcase the mixed brilliant cut to maximum effect, casting lively flashes that catch the eye with every movement. The belly depth of 4.59 millimeters ensures sufficient pavilion to create sparkle and depth, while being slim enough for low profile custom mountings when comfort and wearability are priorities. For bespoke pieces intended to be heirloom quality, the natural inclusions and the very very slightly included clarity grade provide character and proof of provenance, making each obsession with detail and design entirely warranted. Our craftsmen at The Natural Sapphire Company can propose several setting options tailored to your lifestyle, whether you prefer a bold statement ring that stands alone, a delicate pendant for daily wear, or a pair of earrings that mirror each other with matching symmetry.

Ownership of a gem like this is an invitation to join an exclusive group of collectors and clients who value rarity, provenance, and the considered craft of custom jewelry.
