3.02 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the moment its crystalline form was born deep within the ancient metamorphic rocks of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire began a long journey from earth to elegance, a path that our cutters at The Natural Sapphire Company honor with each careful choice they make, this transparent, pear shaped blue sapphire weighs 3.02 carats, measuring 11.22 by 7.65 by 4.62 millimeters, its mixed brilliant cut was carefully selected to balance scintillation and depth of color, the stone displays a medium intense blue hue, an eye clean clarity when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that allows light to dance across its facets, unheated and unenhanced, it carries the honest signature of its origin, the storied gem lands of Ceylon that have supplied royal courts and private collectors for centuries, the miners and artisans who first uncovered and then shaped this stone are part of a lineage of craftsmanship that values the natural character of each sapphire, the pear shape evokes both vintage grace and contemporary sophistication, a silhouette that flatters in pendants, rings, and bespoke designs, and the mixed brilliant cut gives this gem a lively personality, combining brilliant facets on the pavilion with a tailored crown to maximize both brilliance and color.
