3.26 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 3.26 carat Ceylon blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company combines classic oval proportions with exceptional color and clarity, making it an outstanding choice for custom jewellery. The gem measures 10.21 by 7.43 by 4.74 mm, a size that balances presence and wearability for engagement rings, cocktail rings, or bespoke pendants. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the pavilion facets are optimized to return light to the table, while the crown facets provide lively scintillation and spread of color. The stone presents an intense color intensity with rich blue saturation and an even tone across the face of the gem, attributes that are highly prized by connoisseurs and craftsmen alike. Clarity is graded as eye clean, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone shows no visible inclusions to the unaided eye, allowing both brilliance and hue to be appreciated without distraction.

From a practical and design perspective this sapphire is ideal for custom settings due to its reliable proportions and superior finish. The excellent polish enhances facet junctions and edge definition, making the gem sit beautifully in both modern and traditional mounts. Its oval shape and measurements lend themselves to a variety of design options, including solitaire, halo, three stone, and east west orientations, and it will set securely in bezel, prong, or custom gallery work without compromising visual impact. The sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that improves color and clarity while being widely accepted in the trade, and its origin of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, adds provenance that is often associated with bright, velvety blues. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire offers excellent durability for everyday wear, making this gem both a beautiful and practical centerpiece for a bespoke piece. At The Natural Sapphire Company we focus on matching gemstones to design intent, and this 3.26 carat Ceylon oval is an exemplary candidate for a personalized commission that will combine visual depth, structural integrity, and enduring value.
