3.53 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The bluish green sapphire presented by The Natural Sapphire Company exemplifies a harmonious blend of color and craftsmanship, capturing the attention of gemstone connoisseurs with its exquisite features. This gemstone's prominence lies in its substantial 3.53-carat weight and cushion shape, with precise dimensions of 8.27 by 7.52 by 5.76 millimeters. These specifications ensure that the sapphire not only dazzles in terms of carat weight but also offers ample surface area to showcase its vivid color and distinctive cut.

At the heart of this sapphire's allure is its mixed brilliant cut, a testament to both traditional techniques and innovative artistry. This cut combines the brilliance of round cuts with the elegance of elongated shapes like the emerald cut, optimizing both brightness and intricacy. The result is a gemstone that reflects light dynamically, offering an interplay of brilliance and fascinating color changes from every angle. The attention to detail in polishing ensures that the sapphire achieves an exceptional luster, executing a mirror-like finish that enhances its vibrant tones.

The clarity of this Ceylon sapphire has been classified as eye clean, meaning that no inclusions are visible to the naked eye when evaluated at eye level. This high clarity grade amplifies the stone's inherent beauty, providing uninterrupted color saturation and transparency that contribute to its appeal. The vivid color intensity of the gem, a defining characteristic, is particularly noteworthy. The bluish green hue, with its entrancing luminescence, exhibits a degree of saturation that is both rare and highly sought after among discriminating buyers. The balance between blue and green creates a dynamic visual effect, alluring even the most esteemed collectors.

Durability, another crucial aspect of this exceptional sapphire, is assured by its inherent toughness and resilience. Sapphires score nine on the Mohs scale, surpassed only by diamonds in their hardness. This significant hardness makes the gemstone ideal for daily wear, resisting scratches and abrasions that can occur with softer stones. Its robust nature ensures that it can be set in a variety of jewelry designs without compromising its structural integrity. Whether incorporated into a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, this sapphire promises longevity, retaining its beauty and elegance through everyday wear.

Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, is famed for producing some of the world's finest sapphires, steeped in a history of royal approval and artisanal excellence. The knowledge passed down through generations of Sri Lankan gem cutters finds expression in this sapphire, where expertise and heritage converge to create a masterpiece.
