3.19 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gems that are lovely, and there are gems that quietly announce a rare pedigree. This sapphire belongs to the latter category, a single, exceptional stone that will elevate any serious collection with immediate authority. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this 3.19 carat round sapphire is more than a jewel, it is an opportunity to own a refined expression of Ceylon heritage and masterful lapidary skill. For the discerning collector who values both aesthetic perfection and provenance, this stone is a private resonance, an object meant for someone who understands that true rarity is not merely about size, it is about harmony of color clarity and cut.

Measured precisely at 9.19 by 9.20 by 4.47 mm, this round sapphire has been shaped into a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with a vivid central flash. Its weight of 3.19 carat yields a substantial presence on the hand, while the mixed brilliant geometry ensures lively return of light across a broad range of viewing angles. The clarity grade is described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a level of clarity that reads as clean to the naked eye and preserves transparency and depth. Color intensity is classified as intense, a saturated cornflower to deep blue that remains vibrant under varied lighting, and the polish has been rated excellent, delivering mirror like facet surfaces that enhance the stone s brilliance and face up appeal.

This sapphire communicates through its optical performance, a tone of deep blue that is neither flat nor overwhelmed by dark overtones, instead it sits at the precise intersection of vivid saturation and luminous clarity. The mixed brilliant cut creates a dance of small flashes and broad flashes, making the gem appear to breathe with light as it moves. The very very slightly included clarity gives authenticity and character without compromising the gem s ability to glow from within, and the excellent polish amplifies every reflection so that each facet boundary reads sharp and lively. Set in a high end ring pendant or cufflink, this stone will act as a focal point, commanding attention without shouting, a statement piece for a collector who prizes understatement that carries unmistakable quality.

Origin plays a critical role in the story of any fine sapphire, and this gem comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region long celebrated for producing sapphires that marry brilliance with a particular blue signature. Ceylon stones are prized for their clarity and the clarity here is particularly notable for a stone of this hue and weight. The enhancement is heat treated, a traditional and accepted method used to bring out the intrinsic color and clarity of natural sapphires, and this treatment has been applied with restraint to preserve the natural character of the crystal. For the serious collector, the combination of Ceylon provenance, careful heat treatment, and meticulous cutting results in a gem that is both collectible and wearable, a rare balance that is increasingly sought after by private clients and connoisseurs.

As an addition to a high end gemstone collection this sapphire is ideally suited to someone who seeks exclusivity and long term enjoyment. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone as part of a curated offering, and ownership will place you among a select group who prioritize original sources and precise cutting. This sapphire is ready to be set by artisans who can design bespoke settings that echo its proportions and accentuate its intense blue. For collectors interested in securing a piece with character and pedigree, this gem represents a limited opportunity to incorporate a classic Ceylon blue into a portfolio, a piece to be admired today and passed on as a signature of refined taste. If you desire a conversation about bespoke mounting options or to arrange a private viewing, The Natural Sapphire Company will provide the attentive, expert service befitting such a rare acquisition.
