3.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Thailand

A jewel of immaculate poise, this transparent blue sapphire weighs 3.04 carats and is cut into an elegant oval of 10.09 x 7.29 x 4.55 mm, a silhouette that commands attention while remaining perfectly wearable. The mixed brilliant cut marries scintillation with depth, allowing facets to play across the surface and summon a luminous blue that is at once intense and refined. Viewed face up the proportions read as precise and balanced, and the excellent polish ensures each facet edge catches and returns light with a mirror like finish. For the discerning client who desires rarity and restraint in equal measure, this sapphire presents itself as an objet d art that elevates any setting, from the most modern solitaire to the most classically inspired halo, and it does so with a presence that announces ownership as a statement of cultivated taste.

What sets this gem apart is not only its color but the clarity and finish that frame that color, the stone grading as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which translates to a vivid, clean window into the depth of the crystal with only the most discreet internal character that serves to authenticate natural origin rather than distract from beauty. The intense color intensity draws the gaze, a deep oceanic blue that remains alive and adaptable beneath different lights, from the warm glow of evening to the cool clarity of daylight. This sapphire has been heat treated to optimize tone and saturation, a traditional and widely accepted enhancement that enhances visual appeal while retaining natural integrity, and its origin in Thailand speaks to a long pedigree of skilled mining and cutting that furthers the narrative of provenance. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind this gem, presenting it with the same curatorial care applied to every stone we offer, ensuring the connoisseur receives both beauty and transparency.

Durability is where this sapphire truly earns its place as a daily companion, because there is luxury in reliability as much as in rarity. Composed of corundum with a Mohs hardness of nine, a sapphire is second only to diamond in resistance to scratching, which means it withstands the inevitable contact of daily life with remarkable grace. The toughness of this material also resists chipping and fracturing under normal wear, and the mixed brilliant cut with excellent polish mitigates stress points by distributing contact across the surface rather than concentrating it. Heat treatment does not compromise structural integrity, and this gem tolerates ordinary temperature variations and household cleaning with ease, provided abrasive chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners are avoided as a precaution. For settings we recommend secure mounting approaches such as a low bezel or well made prongs to protect the girdle and pavilion without obscuring the stone, and because the dimensions are ideal for rings, pendants, and cuffs, the wearer gains both presence and peace of mind knowing the stone is built to accompany an active, elegant life.

Owning this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a declaration of refined judgment, an acquisition that blends enduring beauty with practical resilience. We provide detailed documentation of origin, weight, cut, clarity, and enhancement status, and our gem specialists are available to advise on bespoke settings that honor the stone while matching personal style. Routine care is simple and understated, requiring gentle cleaning with warm water and mild soap, occasional inspection of the mounting, and the sensible avoidance of harsh chemicals, so the stone will retain its brilliance through years of daily enjoyment. If you are considering a piece that conveys both authority and artistry, that confers distinction without ostentation, this 3.04 carat Thai blue sapphire is an exquisite candidate, and The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to experience its presence in person or through a private consultation designed to place this rare treasure into the setting that will best celebrate your taste.
