3.28 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, known in history as Ceylon, a remarkable journey begins beneath the earth. Our 3.28 carat fancy shape blue sapphire, with dimensions of 11.41 x 7.12 x 5.40 mm, originates from these storied lands, where sun-dappled skies and rich earth meld to create nature's masterpieces. This land has gifted us a sapphire that echoes the depth of the ocean and the boundless sky, capturing the essence of earth and heavens alike. Meticulously extracted from its mineral embrace, every facet of this sapphire tells a tale of time and transformation.

Once unearthed, this sapphire undergoes a remarkable crafting process that highlights its natural gifts. With a step cut that enhances its innate clarity, this stone radiates a luminous beauty that can't be unseen. Its clarity is evaluated at eye level and is deemed eye clean, ensuring a visual purity that demands admiration. Unlike the tumultuous histories shared by famous gems, such as the controversial Hope Diamond, our sapphire carries with it a story free of complications—a narrative spun purely through nature's artistry and human craftsmanship.

The color of this precious gemstone delivers a medium intense hue, exuding a breathtaking yet subtle allure. Its blue is reminiscent of the storied Kashmir sapphires, once the prized possessions of Maharajas and royalties, yet it stands apart with its unique signature—a color that's been deepened through gentle heat treatment. Heat enhancement is a time-honored process employed to reveal the inner soul of the sapphire, respecting and enhancing its natural attributes without altering its integrity.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we take pride in ensuring the journey of each gemstone culminates in exceptional craftsmanship. The steps taken in achieving its excellent polish reflect not just light but the care and precision dedicated to perfecting its form. Our sapphire's smooth finish compares to the masterful jewels crafted for emperors, allowing it to shine with an unmatched brilliance—setting itself apart as a modern marvel steeped in rich tradition.

Destined to become a cherished heirloom, this Ceylon sapphire carries with it more than just sparkle. It encapsulates a legacy of elegance, the mystique of its origins, and a promise of timelessness. As you hold this sapphire, you connect with a bygone era and embrace a narrative as old as nature itself, yet as fresh as today's sunrise.
