3.10 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A single pear shaped blue sapphire floats like a sliver of midnight sky caught and polished into permanent light, a transparent heart weighing 3.10 carats that gathers attention and quiets the room. It measures 11.35 by 7.40 by 5.26 millimeters, a size that reads as both graceful and certain on the finger, a jewel that can be intimate in its whisper and grand in its proclamation. Its color is vivid in intensity, a saturated royal blue that moves from deep ocean to starlit indigo as the gem turns, and the surface carries an excellent polish that feels like silk to the eye. This is a Ceylon sapphire from Sri Lanka, a stone born of ancient earth and careful hands, heat treated to refine its hue and clarity, with an eye clean grade evaluated at eye level, so that when you peer into it you are met with luminous depth rather than distracting flaws. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as more than a gemstone, it is a keepsake for the moments that deserve the reverence of blue.

The mixed brilliant cut faceting of this pear shape is where geometry and poetry meet, a choreography of planes and angles that invites every photon to dance. The crown is a constellation of brilliant facets that radiate outward from the table, catching daylight and candle glow alike, while the pavilion is structured to return that light as vitality and motion. Together the facets form a precise geometry that maximizes scintillation and internal reflection, so that the sapphire does not merely shine, it performs, offering flashes of electric azure and deep velvety blue with each tilt. Triangular and kite shaped facets play against elongated pavilion facets, creating channels of light and shade that exaggerate depth and give the impression of an inner sea. The result is a symphony of brightness and contrast, where brilliance and color saturation are in constant conversation, and where the excellent polish ensures that every facet edge is clean and every reflection is sharp. For those who love the mathematics of beauty, this stone demonstrates how cut can coax the fullest expression from color and clarity, and how the right geometry can turn a mineral into a living thing.

To place this pear shaped sapphire in a setting is to compose an alliance of metal and light, to choose a frame that will let the gem speak with the volume that suits your story. At 3.10 carats and with dimensions that flatter a range of styles, it wears like a promise, whether mounted alone as an engagement jewel or accompanied by whispering accents that echo its blue.
