Imagine the moment when sunlight finds this extraordinary oval blue sapphire, and your breath catches as the stone wakes to life, sending a river of pure blue light across your hand. This is a transparent 3.35 carat oval sapphire, measuring 10.75 x 7.75 x 4.37 mm, masterfully faceted with a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation and depth. Its medium color intensity captures that beloved Cornflower glow that tells a story of calm and confidence, while an excellent polish gives every facet the power to dance. At eye level the clarity is described as very very slightly included, meaning that to the naked eye this sapphire will appear clean and luminous, a rare clarity that allows emotion to pass through it without interruption. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka places this gem in a lineage of sapphires prized for their lively, pure tones. The sapphire has been heat treated, a long established and stable enhancement that refines color and clarity while preserving the natural character of the stone, and the result is a jewel that feels both natural and perfected.

Think of the great sapphires that have traveled through history, adorning crowns and capturing hearts, and see how this gem carries those echoes in its own way. Kashmir sapphires are revered for a velvety, deep cornflower blue that seems to glow from within. Burmese sapphires are known for rich, royal saturation that proclaims presence. The Logan Sapphire and the Stuart Sapphire each tell stories of size and courtly legacy, while the Star of India speaks to rarity and wonder. This 3.35 carat Ceylon sapphire bridges those traditions without copying any single one. Its medium intensity sings with the clearness of a Ceylon stone, offering liveliness and versatility rather than a single heavy note, and its mixed brilliant cut gives it the inner fire of a more intensely cut gem. The dimensions create a graceful oval silhouette that reads as both modern and timeless when set, making it the kind of gem that can be worn every day and still feel like an event when you enter a room. Its eye level clarity allows light to travel freely, producing flashes that echo the sparkle you remember from stories of historic jewels, while its size delivers presence without overpowering the wearer.
