3.08 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A serene heart of Ceylon blue, this transparent 3.08 carat oval sapphire carries the deep hush of island skies, a vivid color intensity that seems to hold the last light of dusk. Measuring 10.11 by 7.49 by 5.09 mm, its graceful oval silhouette is cut in a mixed brilliant style, each facet polished to an excellent finish, so that every tilt catches a new spark of promise. At eye level this stone reads very very slightly included, a clarity that lets light travel freely through its depths while preserving the intimate fingerprints of its earthborn origin. Heat treated to enhance and settle its royal hue, this Sri Lankan treasure from Ceylon has been prepared with lasting beauty in mind, and presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company with the care of a keeper of stories.

Beyond its poetry, this sapphire is made for living, wearing, loving, a companion for everyday romance. As a member of the corundum family it ranks 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, and that rare hardness translates to remarkable resistance against scratches and everyday abrasion. Its robust crystal structure lacks cleavage that would make it fragile, and combined with excellent polish and a thoughtful mixed brilliant cut, the gem sustains its sparkle through the movements of daily life. The size and proportions are comfortable for a ring that will be worn every day, a pendant held close to the heart, or studs that greet the sunlight, and the stable nature of the heat treatment means the vivid color is permanent under normal wear and care. For maintenance, gentle cleaning in warm soapy water and an occasional professional check will keep its fire unhindered, and with mindful wear this 3.08 carat Ceylon sapphire will remain a steadfast witness to a life of small, luminous moments.
