3.15 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent blue sapphire presents a precise combination of weight, proportion, and polish. Weighing 3.15 carat, the stone measures 10.64 x 6.64 x 4.37 mm and is fashioned in an emerald cut that emphasizes symmetry and table size. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which translates to minimal internal features that do not materially affect the gem s transparency or brilliance. Color is described as vivid in intensity, a deep and saturated blue characteristic of high quality Ceylon sapphires, and the surface exhibits an excellent polish that delivers crisp facet junctions and controlled light return. The sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that improves color and clarity while preserving the natural character of the material. Every physical measurement and attribute is recorded to assist designers and collectors when evaluating mounting options and setting proportions.

The Natural Sapphire Company advances sourcing practices that align with the priorities of a conscientious buyer. This sapphire was procured from Sri Lanka, historically referred to as Ceylon, a region noted for producing blue sapphires with lively, cool blue tones. The purchase was made through established channels that prioritize traceability and accountability, and the company maintains direct relationships with miners and local partners to encourage fair labor practices and responsible mine management. Environmental considerations are factored into sourcing decisions, and support is provided to community level initiatives where feasible to promote safe working conditions and economic benefit at the source. The Natural Sapphire Company discloses all known treatments and origin details for every gem, supporting informed decisions by collectors who place value on transparency and ethical provenance.

For the conscious collector this sapphire offers a balance of aesthetic excellence and practical durability. Sapphire is a corundum species ranked high on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes this gem suitable for daily wear in a variety of settings, including solitaire engagement rings and more intricate halo or three stone designs. The emerald cut lends itself to modern and classic design language alike, providing strong linear geometry and a clean table that showcases the sapphire s vivid blue without excessive brilliance that could obscure color. Because the heat treatment applied to this stone is stable and standard within the trade, routine care involves avoiding harsh cleaners and sudden temperature shocks, and scheduling periodic inspections to ensure secure mounting. The combination of documented origin, clear disclosure of treatment, and the enduring appeal of a well cut Ceylon blue sapphire supports both emotional and long term considerations for collectors who view gems as heirloom quality objects.

The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready to assist with certification and customization to integrate this sapphire into a considered collection. Independent gemological reports can be provided to corroborate weight, dimensions, clarity and treatment, and the company s gem advisors can recommend settings that preserve weight and maximize visual impact. For those prioritizing ethical sourcing the documented supply chain, engagement with local partners, and commitment to transparent disclosure make this sapphire a suitable addition to a collection curated for both beauty and conscience. Care guidance, appraisal options, and design consultations are available to ensure the gem performs well in daily life and retains the provenance information that underpins its long term value.
