3.37 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional Sri Lankan blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company weighs 3.37 carats, and it is masterfully fashioned into an emerald cut with exacting dimensions of 9.48 x 7.83 x 4.38 mm, and it presents a vivid color intensity, a clarity grade described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, excellent polish, and a stable heat treated enhancement. From the first glance the stone announces itself with a deep, saturated blue that remains lively rather than heavy, a characteristic that sets fine Ceylon sapphires apart from many market offerings that can appear either too dark or too gray. The emerald cut gives this sapphire a broad table and clean stepped facets, and those proportions allow the gem to reveal its color in a way that many mixed cuts cannot, because the large surface displays the true hue while the step facets create flashes of internal color that move with every tilt, and that combination gives a luminous, luxurious presence that reads as both classic and modern.

Compared to the majority of commercial sapphires, this stone’s near flawless character elevates its appearance in ways that are hard to overstate. Emerald cuts show more of what lies within than faceted brilliants, so clarity matters more, and a very very slightly included grade at eye level means the gem reads as essentially eye clean, which is a rare and valuable attribute for a color stone of this size. The excellent polish and precise facet symmetry combine to create crisp facet junctions and mirror like surfaces, and that finish enhances light return while maintaining the depth of color that collectors prize. Many sapphires on the market rely on overly deep cutting or heavy inclusions to hit a pleasing tone, which can sacrifice sparkle and create a dull, one dimensional look. By contrast, this Ceylon sapphire balances saturation and transparency, and because of its exceptional cutting and finishing the blue appears evenly distributed across the table and pavilion, so the gem remains striking from every angle, whether viewed face up, at an oblique angle, or in motion.

Beyond pure aesthetics, the value proposition of this sapphire is strong when set against alternatives, and The Natural Sapphire Company positions this gem as a superior choice for buyers who want enduring beauty and sensible provenance. Ceylon sapphires are prized for their vivid yet lively blues, and when combined with careful heat treatment that is both stable and widely accepted in the trade, the result is a stone that offers the best aspects of nature and skillful enhancement without compromising authenticity. Compared to untreated stones of similar color that often command premiums but may lack the same evenness, or compared to lower grade heated material that hides inclusions or appears flat, this sapphire provides exceptional visual impact and long term wearability. Its 3.37 carat weight and elongated emerald outline make it ideal for a statement solitaire, a refined three stone engagement ring, or a pendant where the clarity and color can be appreciated up close. Each gem from The Natural Sapphire Company is presented with full disclosure about treatments and origin, and this sapphire exemplifies our commitment to sourcing stones where origin, cutting, clarity, and polish are all in harmonious balance, producing a gem that truly enhances the wearer and outshines more ordinary alternatives on the market.
