3.17 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One exquisitely transparent, pear shaped blue sapphire, weighing 3.17 carats, offers a rare union of size and pure, vivid color. Measuring 10.93 x 6.04 x 5.73 mm, the stone has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes brilliance and depth, while an excellent polish delivers a mirror like surface that awakens every facet. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, the clarity invites light to play through the gem without distraction, permitting a luminous body tone that reads as a deep, true blue in most lighting. Heat treated to refine its natural character, and sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire embodies both geological pedigree and careful lapidary skill, making it a superb candidate for a bespoke ring, an elevated pendant, or an heirloom piece destined to be worn with intention.

Among the world of blue sapphires, stones of this magnitude and saturation are an infrequent discovery, creating an opportunity to own something that is both visually commanding and quietly rare. Many sapphires in this hue appear in smaller sizes or with less vivid intensity, and larger stones often carry a murkiness or grey component that diminishes their presence. This 3.17 carat pear shape, by contrast, delivers a magnetic, vivid blue that remains pure across the table and into the pavilion, a characteristic that collectors and connoisseurs prize above all. To wear this gem is to declare refined taste and an appreciation for true rarity, it is an achievement that signals discernment without ostentation. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate and present stones that tell a story of origin, treatment, and superior cutting, and this Ceylon sapphire is a defining example. For those seeking singularity in both color and carat weight, this sapphire stands apart, ready to be set into a design that honors its provenance and to become a treasured emblem of individuality and enduring elegance.
