2.99 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A luminous testament to refined taste, this transparent 2.99 carat radiant shape blue sapphire presents itself with an arresting presence, its measured proportions of 8.79 by 7.75 by 5.12 mm composing a perfect balance of scale and sparkle. The radiant cut magnifies each facet, creating a kaleidoscope of deep blue flashes that speak to an intense color intensity rarely achieved in stones of this clarity and weight. Evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, the gem reads as clean to the eye, allowing light to travel freely through its body and return in vivid blue fire, all enhanced by an excellent polish that delivers mirror sharp facet junctions and a finish worthy of the most distinguished settings.

Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this Ceylon Sri Lanka gem is exceptional in two defining ways, first in size, and secondly in color. Near the coveted three carat benchmark, sapphires of this transparent quality and radiant cut at this weight are scarce, as most comparable Ceylon stones present either a smaller face up area or a shift toward darker and less saturated tones. Here, the intense blue tone remains pure and lively, a hue that outshines many similar options which tend toward moderation or uneven saturation. Heat treatment has been employed to refine and stabilize the color, a widely accepted enhancement that respects the stone integrity while elevating its visual perfection. For the connoisseur who recognizes rarity when they see it, this sapphire is more than a jewel, it is an emblem of achievement, a piece that signals discernment and a cultivated eye for true gemstones. Set in a bespoke ring or a signature pendant, it will not only complement a wardrobe, it will define an heirloom, an acquisition that confers distinction upon its owner and affirms a commitment to the rare and the beautiful.
