3.00 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a truly exceptional gemstone, a stunning 3.00 carat cushion-shaped blue sapphire that beautifully exemplifies the unparalleled artistry and precision of gemstone craftsmanship. This exquisite sapphire is sourced from the renowned gem fields of Ceylon, present-day Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing sapphires of remarkable quality and distinctive hue. With dimensions of 8.58 x 6.84 x 5.41 mm, the gemstone's mixed brilliant cut plays a pivotal role in unveiling its inherent beauty, enhancing its visual appeal through an intricate dance of light and color. The faceting style, a meticulous blend of technique and creativity, not only maximizes the sapphire's brilliance but also accentuates its unique color traits, creating an enchanting visual experience.

A mixed brilliant cut is artfully designed to bring out the nuanced vibrance and depth of this particular sapphire, merging facets in a way that captures the maximum interplay of light. By employing a combination of mirror-like horizontal facets at the crown with meticulously angled pavilion facets, craftsmen ensure that the light entering the gem is optimally refracted and reflected. This refraction and reflection manifest as a mesmerizing display of brilliance and fire, further amplified by the gemstone's remarkable clarity grade of very very slightly included. Such clarity ensures that light can travel unobstructed through the stone, allowing its vivid color intensity to shine through with unmatched luminosity. Every movement of this sapphire reveals different facets and angles of light, making each glance a unique and exquisite encounter.

The vivid color intensity, a hallmark of Ceylon sapphires, is skillfully showcased through this sapphire's characteristic blue palette. The richness of its hue is where the legacy of Sri Lankan sapphires truly shines, captivating gemstone connoisseurs with their deep, velvety tones that seem almost luminous. The artisans at The Natural Sapphire Company employ their expertise in color grading to ensure that this gemstone exhibits a uniform saturation and lusciousness across its surface. This process involves meticulous grading techniques, evaluating the stone under varying lighting conditions to confirm sustained vibrancy and depth. The result is a sapphire whose color not only reflects its geological origins but also resonates with the superb craftsmanship devoted to each stone.

Furthermore, the sapphire's excellent polish plays an integral role in accentuating its inherent properties. Through thorough and precise grinding and polishing by skilled lapidarists, every facet edge achieves remarkable smoothness, allowing for optimal light encounter and transmission within the gemstone. This refinement process enhances the stone's overall aesthetics, facilitating the blaze of internal reflections and accentuating its inherent color features. Proper polish and accuracy in this stage ensure no light is detracted by imperfections on the surface, offering an immaculate viewing experience that resonates with inherent luxury and elegance.

The Natural Sapphire Company remains committed to not only offering gemstones of extraordinary quality but also to preserving traditional crafts in gemstone cutting and polishing. This blue sapphire is a testament to our dedication to bringing each stone's natural beauty to its full expression.
