3.48 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 3.48 carat cushion shape blue sapphire measures 9.93 x 7.89 x 4.39 mm, and it displays a vivid blue hue across a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes brilliance and depth, with an excellent polish that gives each facet a lively flash. With a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the stone reads clean to the eye while retaining the natural character that collectors and connoisseurs appreciate. Heat treated to enhance its color stability, and originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the classic, velvety blue that has made Ceylon sapphires so desirable for generations. Whether set as the center of an engagement ring or reserved as a rare addition for a collector, this gem offers the perfect balance of presence and refinement, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we present it as a solution for those who want a showstopping blue with dependable quality.

The vivid blue color of this cushion sapphire is remarkably versatile when set in jewelry, and it flatters a wide range of skin tones with thoughtful metal and design choices. On fair skin, the stone’s saturated blue creates a striking, sophisticated contrast that reads luminous and crisp, particularly when framed in white metals such as platinum or white gold, which emphasize the cooler aspects of the color. For medium and olive complexions, the blue brings out warm golden undertones, and a yellow gold setting will harmonize beautifully, lending the gem a regal, Mediterranean appeal. On deeper skin tones, the vivid blue becomes intensely radiant, offering a dramatic and elegant pop that works equally well in polished white metals for a high contrast look, or in rich rose gold for a softer, modern warmth. The cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut also help the color to play dynamically with light, so in halo settings, three stone designs, or classic solitaire mounts the gem will retain depth and sparkle against any skin tone. If you are searching for the ideal engagement gem or a rare blue for your collection, this Ceylon sapphire resolves that quest with authentic beauty and versatility, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to help you select the perfect setting to make it uniquely yours.
