3.25 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a moment of timeless beauty between your fingers, a sapphire that feels like a memory waiting to be made. This exceptional, transparent blue sapphire weighs 3.25 carats, and is shaped in a romantic cushion silhouette that flatters every setting. Its dimensions measure 9.66 by 7.63 by 4.92 millimeters, and it has been masterfully cut with a mixed brilliant pattern to balance scintillation and depth. Hailing from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for producing sapphires with luminous, lively color, this gem has a medium color intensity that glows with a soft, captivating blue. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the polish is excellent, allowing every facet to sing with light. As with many of our fine sapphires this gem has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that brings out its most beautiful tones, and you will find this sapphire offered with the care and provenance you expect from The Natural Sapphire Company.

When you place this cushion sapphire into a ring, pendant, or bespoke design it transforms from a beautiful object into an expression of feeling. The medium intensity blue is versatile and enchanting, catching sunlight and lamp light with a lively, spirited personality. The mixed brilliant cut creates a dance of reflections, the larger crown facets adding softness and the brilliant pavilion facets returning sparkle and fire. With an excellent polish every facet edge is crisp and smooth, so the light movement is clean and joyful. At just over three carats this sapphire has presence without overwhelming, offering a balanced silhouette that sits with elegant poise on the hand. Whether set in warm yellow gold to enhance its glow or cool white metal for a modern, cool contrast, this gem promises to be noticed, admired, and treasured.

The very slightly included clarity of this sapphire deserves a special celebration. The inclusions within are not imperfections to be hidden, but unique signatures that tell the story of the stone itself. Think of them as delicate hallmarks from nature, tiny internal threads and pinpoints that reflect the journey the crystal took as it formed deep in the earth. These natural markers act like fingerprints, each one making this sapphire an individual that cannot be replicated. Evaluated at eye level the inclusions are subtle, adding depth and character rather than distraction, and they help to reassure the stone s authenticity and natural origin. To many collectors and lovers of gems these tiny features enhance the emotional value, making the sapphire feel lived in and personal. Combined with careful heat treatment, which is a widely accepted practice to gently enhance color and clarity, these characteristics make this Ceylon stone both beautiful and honest, a gem that wears its story proudly.
