3.06 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This vivid blue emerald cut sapphire carries with it the quiet authority of both geological time and human tradition, a gem that speaks in the refined language of classical jewellery. GRS certified, this transparent Ceylon sapphire weighs 3.06 carats, and its vivid blue hue evokes the deep tropical skies of Sri Lanka, an island whose sapphires have been prized for centuries. The stone is presented in an elegant emerald cut, with dimensions of 9.06 x 6.73 x 5.18 mm, and its step facets and broad table deliver a dignified, architectural shimmer rather than a fleeting blaze. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, it retains exceptional clarity and a pure, clean face up appearance, while an excellent polish enhances its satiny lustre. Enhancement by heat treatment is disclosed, a long established and stable technique used to reveal and deepen the innate colour within these storied Ceylon gemstones.

For clients seeking a piece that will endure across generations, the proportions and shape of this sapphire make it ideal for custom jewellery, and for The Natural Sapphire Company it is a particularly versatile commission gem. The 9.06 by 6.73 millimetre table and 5.18 millimetre depth provide a commanding presence as a centre stone in a ring, a pendant that rests against the décolletage, or a pair of cufflinks or brooch that lean into classic taste. The emerald cut lends itself beautifully to settings that celebrate architectural lines, such as cathedral mounts, bezel frames, and vintage inspired halos, while its clear inclusions will sit gracefully under a professional setting and a skilled hand. Paired with old mine or brilliant cut diamonds, or set in warm gold to emphasise its Sri Lankan origin, this sapphire becomes not merely a jewel, but a legacy piece ready to be tailored by our craftsmen. At The Natural Sapphire Company we guide clients through design, certification, and setting, ensuring this GRS certified vivid blue emerald cut sapphire is shaped into a bespoke treasure that honors history, holds its brilliance, and passes with pride from one generation to the next.
