3.50 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This captivating three point fifty carat oval blue sapphire comes to life with a history as deep as its color, a stone that carries with it the legacy of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, one of the most storied sources of fine sapphires in the world. For centuries Ceylonese sapphires have been prized by royalty, sought by traders, and set into heirloom pieces that are passed down through generations, and this example embodies that timeless lineage. The island s mineral wealth and long tradition of skilled lapidaries have produced sapphires celebrated for their vivid and lively blue hues, and owning a gem from this provenance is to hold a piece of that uninterrupted history. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that tradition by offering stones with clear provenance, and this sapphire s origin adds a dimension of cultural and historical value that complements its physical beauty.

Beyond its storied origin, this gem is a superb combination of form and finish, a transparent three point fifty carat oval measuring nine point eighty by seven point eighty two by four point ninety millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both depth and sparkle. Evaluated at eye level, its clarity is eye clean, allowing pure, unfettered blue to flood the pavilion and crown, while its intense color intensity is both vivid and balanced, a classic Ceylon blue that reads as both rich and luminous. The polish is excellent, giving each facet a crisp, reflective surface that enhances brilliance and movement. This stone has been heat treated, a common and accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color, and we disclose this openly so you may appreciate its authenticity and value. Thoughtfully cut and finished, this sapphire is ideal for a timeless solitaire engagement ring, a classic three stone setting, or a bespoke piece meant to become an heirloom. When you choose this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing more than exceptional color and cut, you are choosing provenance, responsible sourcing, and a connection to a long lineage of gem tradition that will endure for generations.
