3.16 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are moments when a gem stops time, when color and light combine to create a memory that is carried forward with joy, and this transparent oval blue sapphire is exactly that kind of treasure. Weighing 3.16 carats, with dimensions of 9.95 by 7.31 by 5.20 mm, the stone has been fashioned into an elegant oval, its mixed brilliant cut delivering a lively dance of facets that catch the eye in every direction. The clarity has been graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that confirms the natural origin of this sapphire while allowing the vivid color intensity to take center stage. Heat treated to enhance its depth and clarity, and polished to an excellent finish, this gem comes from the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place long celebrated for producing sapphires of soulful hue, and every glance at this stone will echo that heritage with warmth and provenance.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish stones that tell a story, and this sapphire is poised to become the storyteller in your collection, a piece that continues to captivate for years and generations. Because sapphire ranks among the hardest of gemstones, it resists scratching and daily wear like few others, preserving its brilliant polish and finely faceted surfaces through ordinary life and special adventures alike. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize both color and brilliance, so the depth of blue remains alive whether it is worn in daylight, under evening lights, or set to catch candlelight at a dinner full of laughter. The heat treatment this sapphire has undergone is a standard and stable enhancement that refines color without compromising durability, so the vivid blue will remain reliable and true, a steady companion for milestone celebrations and quiet moments of reflection. Over the years the stone will build history and meaning, the very inclusions that certify its natural origin reminding the wearer of the gem natural journey from mine to masterful cut, and that authenticity is part of its enduring appeal.
