3.02 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 3.02 carat asscher octagon bluish green sapphire measures 7.50 x 6.90 x 5.91 mm, presenting substantial face up presence and commanding physical dimensions that make it ideal for a statement piece. The asscher cut is executed as a faceted step style with truncated corners and concentric square facet arrays on the crown and pavilion, producing hall of mirrors reflections and controlled scintillation. The cutter achieved excellent polish and tight facet junctions, resulting in crisp facet lines and high mirror finish across table, crown and pavilion surfaces. With a clarity grade of eye clean evaluated at normal viewing distance, the stone displays no visible inclusions to the unaided eye, permitting uninterrupted color and light performance, while any internal features remain confined and non disruptive under loupe magnification.

Color is intense, bluish green, and the combination of deep pavilion geometry and concentrated color saturation produces a vivid face up appearance suitable for bold ring or pendant settings. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance known for producing sapphires with lively, saturated tones and attractive transparency. The piece has been heat treated, a stable enhancement that improves color and clarity without compromising durability, and is consistent with established trade practices for corundum. The dimensions yield a depth that is relatively substantial, approximately eighty two percent of the mean diameter, which favors stronger color concentration and visual weight when set, and suits designs that emphasize a pronounced table and deep step facet architecture. Consider settings that allow light to interact with the step facets, such as open four or six prong galleries or raised bezel frames, to maximize the asscher signature of parallel flash and central windowing. Technical buyers will appreciate the combination of a precise asscher faceting regime, eye clean clarity, excellent polish, and material provenance, all of which are documented by The Natural Sapphire Company, making this 3.02 carat asscher octagon a technically refined and visually impactful choice for a high presence statement piece.
