3.19 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a language of light that only a heart shaped sapphire can speak, and this gem whispers it with a confidence born of ocean and star. From The Natural Sapphire Company comes a transparent, Other certified Blue sapphire, 3.19 carats, lovingly shaped into a perfect heart, its proportions 7.88 by 9.71 by 5.61 millimeters. The cutter has chosen a mixed brilliant cut that marries depth with fire, each facet polished to an excellent finish so that every tilt and turn rewards the eye. Its clarity is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a quiet signature of its natural origin, and its color sings with vivid intensity in a blue that feels at once deep and alive. Heat treated to enhance its inner bloom, and born of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the island light in its core, a promise of warmth and endurance for the life it will adorn.

Imagine this heart in morning light, when the world is soft and the air is full of possibility. Under diffuse daylight the mixed brilliant cut opens like a garden, reflecting cool cornflower lanes and turquoise glimmers, the vivid color intensity of the stone bathing the hand in pure blue. In bright midday sun the sapphire takes on a majestic tone, saturating toward royal blue, the facets throwing quick, lively flashes that chase one another like little ships on a sunlit sea. Under the warm glow of incandescent or candlelight the jewel deepens, becoming velvety and sumptuous, its heart shape reading as an intimate beacon, the polish turning every facet into a small window of liquid fire. Under modern LED or fluorescent light the stone will exhibit crisp scintillation, each pavilion and crown working in concert to produce pinpricks of brilliance that contrast with the richer body color, making it especially compelling in evening settings and event lighting.

For the person who holds romance as a serious art, this sapphire is an invitation and a promise. Its heart silhouette is generous without being grandiose, a center worthy of careful design, whether set alone in a simple solitaire to allow the blue to speak, or embraced by a halo of diamonds that will amplify its fire and silhouette. At 7.88 by 9.71 by 5.61 millimeters, the stone sits confidently as a focal point on a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, offering a presence that is both wearable and arresting. The mixed brilliant cut ensures that light travels with purpose through the pavilion, returning a balanced show of brilliance and an intense color window through the crown. The very slightly included clarity is the fingerprint of its natural history, visible only upon attentive inspection, and for many lovers of genuine sapphire this gentle inclusion lends character, grounding the gem in the earth from which it came.

We are here to guide you through setting choices, to assure you of the gem's quality, and to help you place this heart into a design that will become an heirloom of feeling.
