3.27 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 3.27 carat transparent oval blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka combines size, proportion, and color in a way that stands apart from many stones on the market, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize that balance because it is what defines true wearable beauty. Measuring 10.10 x 7.14 x 5.21 mm, this gem has been cut in a mixed brilliant style that maximizes both facet play and depth of color, producing bright flashes and a velvety blue that reads intense without becoming dark or muddy. The clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone looks clean to the unaided eye which is a premium attribute at this weight. Compared to typical commercial sapphires that may trade off transparency for color saturation, or vice versa, this piece preserves both attributes, delivering an even, intense blue and an excellent polish that enhances brilliance and scintillation. The stone is heat treated, the long established and accepted enhancement that optimizes color and stability, and when you compare similar carat weights the overall visual impact and the combination of eye appeal and proportion make this sapphire a stronger value and a more versatile center stone than many alternatives.

When designing a custom piece around this oval 3.27 carat Ceylon sapphire you have many tasteful directions that will highlight its strengths, and The Natural Sapphire Company can help you realize them. For a timeless engagement ring consider a delicate halo of ideal cut round diamonds that will enhance the sapphire color by contrast, or choose tapered diamond baguettes to emphasize the oval silhouette for a more architectural look, both design choices adding brilliance while keeping the focus on the intense blue. For a modern pendant pair the sapphire with two smaller pear shaped sapphires in a trilogy arrangement, the matching tone reinforcing origin and character. Warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold can lift and enrich the blue, creating a classic contrast, while platinum or 18 karat white gold will emphasize the stone clarity and lively faceting for a cleaner contemporary aesthetic. For color accents consider small rubies or pink sapphires set as accent stones to create lively contrast, or pale mint tourmalines and champagne diamonds for a softer palette that supports the gem without competing with it. In short this Ceylon sapphire offers a rare mix of intense color, transparency, and expert cut, making it a superior choice for a centerpiece that will remain striking and wearable for a lifetime.
