3.14 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite 3.14 carat oval blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company measures 10.03 by 7.56 by 5.16 millimeters, and it offers a rare combination of vivid color intensity, a mixed brilliant cut, very very slightly included clarity when viewed at eye level, and an excellent polish. Compared with many market offerings that trade size for depth of color, or that rely on heavy treatments to mask poor clarity, this Ceylon sapphire stands out because it delivers both exceptional hue and visible transparency. The mixed brilliant cut optimizes light return, creating lively scintillation that many traditional step cuts do not achieve, and the excellent polish ensures clean facet junctions and crisp reflection. Heat treated for color enhancement, this stone is disclosed honestly, and it falls within the widely accepted industry standard for improving natural beauty without compromising integrity, which is distinct from less reputable enhancements that are difficult to document or reverse.

Beyond the gemological virtues, this sapphire is presented with a commitment to ethical sourcing that conscious buyers value, and that differentiates The Natural Sapphire Company from competitors who cannot trace origin or who obscure treatment and supply chain details. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this stone comes from long established mining communities where we maintain direct relationships with miners, support fair labor practices, and invest in local initiatives that reduce environmental impact. Where some market stones may be anonymous or originate from areas with unclear labor standards, this sapphire is supported by provenance, clear disclosure, and rigorous sourcing controls. For a discerning collector or a buyer creating an heirloom engagement piece, this sapphire offers both aesthetic superiority and moral reassurance, aligning with a philosophy that beauty should not require compromise.

Choosing this sapphire means selecting a gem that is competitive in value when compared to similar weight and color stones from other origins, because Ceylon sapphires often present a uniquely lively blue that reads brighter on the finger, and because the combination of transparency, cut, and polish maximizes perceived size and brilliance. If you seek a responsible, elegant, and enduring center stone that reflects both quality and conscience, this 3.14 carat Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an exceptional choice.
