3.26 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 3.26 carat oval shape blue sapphire awaits a discerning collector, a singular gem that speaks to rarity and refined taste, its very presence an invitation to join an elite circle of owners who recognize the extraordinary. Sourced from the legendary mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire measures 9.63 by 7.59 by 5.16 millimeters, a perfectly proportioned oval that carries the luminous appeal of Sri Lankan material while asserting its own vivid personality. Limited by nature and unique in character, this stone is presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company as more than a gem, it is an heirloom in embryo, ready to be set into a bespoke creation that will market you among a rare few who possess such vivid, transparent beauty. Owning this sapphire is not merely a purchase, it is an accession into a private narrative of distinction and sophistication, a statement that true connoisseurs understand instinctively.

The gemological qualities of this sapphire are immediately compelling, its mixed brilliant cut engineered to maximize both color and scintillation, combining the depth of pavilion facets with the lively fire of a brilliant crown. The cutting proportions allow each surface to return light with exceptional vigor, rendering the vivid color intensity alive from every angle, a saturated blue that maintains clarity and brilliance without appearing overly dark. Clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, an assessment that attests to the eye clean appearance to most observers while preserving the natural integrity of the crystal. Its polish is excellent, a mirror finish that enhances luster and ensures facet junctions are crisp, which amplifies both sparkle and perceived depth. Heat treated to refine and stabilize its hue, a long established and widely accepted enhancement, this sapphire retains the visual purity and transparency collectors prize, while offering reliable permanence in color under normal wear conditions.

Durability is a defining reason why sapphires are the preferred choice for daily wear, and this Ceylon gem is no exception, its hardness approaching that of a diamond on the Mohs scale at nine, making it exceptionally resistant to scratches from ordinary contact. Beyond hardness, sapphires possess strong toughness, and with appropriate setting choices this stone will endure the rhythms of everyday life for decades, if not generations. Heat treatment applied to enhance color is stable and permanent, it does not compromise the stone s ability to live on a daily basis in a ring, pendant, or bracelet. For active wearers and those seeking extra security, we recommend classic protective settings such as a bezel that shields the girdle, or a low profile four or six prong setting that secures the gem while minimizing exposure to impacts. Routine care is straightforward, warm soapy water and a soft brush will safely maintain its brilliance, and annual inspections and professional cleanings performed by The Natural Sapphire Company will preserve both setting integrity and the gem s radiance. Avoiding harsh acids and extreme thermal shock will protect any inclusions that give the sapphire its natural origin story, and with sensible precautions this stone will remain a daily companion rather than a fragile treasure confined to occasional wear.
