3.05 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 3.05 carat cushion shape blue sapphire from Ceylon offered by The Natural Sapphire Company stands out among market alternatives for several clear reasons, beginning with size and presence. At 8.70 x 6.92 x 5.03 mm this sapphire carries real finger presence that many smaller stones cannot match, making it an immediate candidate for a true statement piece. The mixed brilliant cut allows generous light return and scintillation while the cushion silhouette maintains a timeless and elegant profile, unlike some modern fancy cuts that sacrifice depth for trend. Where many comparable stones at this weight show subdued color or notable cloudiness, this gem displays vivid color intensity and a clarity graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, so the surface remains clean and transparent to the observer. With excellent polish and a heat treatment enhancement that is both conventional and stable, this sapphire balances natural origin and practical durability, offering the depth and character associated with Ceylon sapphires without the premium penalty of untreated material that has heavy tradeoffs in hue or clarity.

Compared directly to lab grown sapphires and lower grade naturals, this stone delivers a superior combination of size, color, and clarity that translates into both visual impact and long term value. Lab grown options may match color but often lack the natural origin story and market appreciation that Ceylon stones command, and many lower clarity naturals require settings or designs that hide inclusions rather than celebrate the gem. This cushion sapphire, with its eye level cleanliness and vivid blue tones, is ideal for a solitaire ring that reads as bold and sophisticated, a cocktail ring that catches attention from across the room, or a pendant that sits beautifully against the skin. The dimensions ensure generous coverage on most finger sizes while the mixed brilliant faceting produces attractive depth and lively flashes when worn. As specialists in fine sapphires, The Natural Sapphire Company curates stones like this to offer not just a beautiful gem, but a choice that outperforms competitors in appearance, provenance, and practical wearability, making it an excellent selection for anyone seeking a standout piece with lasting appeal.
