3.53 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine presenting a promise of forever with a gemstone that feels as if it was chosen for a single, remarkable story, yours. This is a rare, transparent 3.53 carat oval shape blue sapphire, measuring 9.81 x 8.05 x 5.51 mm, hand selected for those who appreciate the extraordinary. Cut as a mixed brilliant, this sapphire captures light with a lively, scintillating fire while preserving the depth and velvety allure that collectors seek. Its clarity is evaluated as slightly included, assessed at eye level, which means that, to the unaided eye, the stone reads as clean and luminous, carrying character rather than distraction. The medium color intensity delivers a classic Ceylon blue, a tone that is both regal and warm, perfectly balanced between vivid presence and wearable elegance. Polished to an excellent finish, and unenhanced, this gem arrives in its natural state, a pure expression of nature, provenance, and craftsmanship, offered exclusively through The Natural Sapphire Company.

The origin of this exceptional sapphire is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a birthplace of sapphires that has gifted the world with some of the most sought after stones in history. Untreated sapphires from Ceylon are increasingly rare, and owning one places you among a select group who understand the value of authenticity and origin. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize brilliance and scintillation while honoring the oval silhouette, resulting in a stone that dances under any light. At 3.53 carats, the presence is unmistakable, large enough to make a bold and timeless statement, yet perfectly proportioned for a ring that will be worn daily. The slight inclusions are natural fingerprints of formation, evidence of a gemstone that is genuine, unmodified, and sourced with the utmost integrity. For those who seek provenance, beauty, and rarity in equal measure, this Ceylon sapphire is a connoisseur grade offering rarely found on the market.

As an engagement gemstone, this sapphire is an invitation to create a ring that feels uniquely yours, a treasure that will be admired across generations. Its weight and dimensions make it an ideal centerpiece for a bespoke solitaire, a refined halo that enhances its color and presence, or a three stone design that speaks to past, present, and future. The durability of sapphire, second only to diamond on the hardness scale at nine, means it will endure the daily life of a shared future, preserving brilliance through seasons of wear and the small moments that matter most. The mixed brilliant facets provide exceptional sparkle in motion, ensuring the stone reads as lively and expressive from every angle during vows, embraces, and quiet mornings together. Choosing an untreated Ceylon sapphire is a conscious, elevated decision, one that refuses trends in favor of legacy, and that communicates a depth of intention and appreciation for natural beauty.
