3.54 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the mossy riverbeds of Ceylon, where generations of miners have tracked seams of corundum through centuries of monsoon and sunlight, this blue sapphire began its story as a deep seated mineral crystal patiently cooling in the earth. Unearthed by careful hands, the rough stone revealed a promise of clarity and color that needed an expert eye and a practiced touch. At The Natural Sapphire Company our cutters listened to that promise, studying the natural crystal orientation and internal features before planning the transformation. The result is a transparent 3.54 carat radiant shape sapphire, with dimensions of 8.58 by 7.69 by 5.41 millimeters, medium color intensity that sings of classic Ceylon blue, clarity graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish. This gem is wholly natural, no enhancement, a direct conversation with the land and the light of Sri Lanka.

The radiant cut chosen for this sapphire is both a celebration of geometry and a practical strategy to awaken the stone, it is cut to enhance the inherent properties of light reflection, its pavilion and crown facets are arranged to capture and return light with crisp flashes and a soft overall glow, the facet pattern balances brilliance and color, allowing the medium intensity blue to distribute evenly across the table while individual facets create lively scintillation. The excellent polish sharpens each facet junction, making reflections clean and adding lifelike movement when the finger turns, the transparency and the clarity grade mean light travels through the stone with minimal interruption, producing a depth that feels both ethereal and immediate. Sized beautifully for a bold solitaire or an elegant halo, the weight and proportions give this sapphire presence on the hand without overpowering the wearer, as seen in reference images that show a stone that reads larger than its carat weight, thanks to its thoughtful cut and proportions. Owning this sapphire is owning a piece of Ceylon history, a gem that has been honored by skilled miners and master cutters, and presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company as a natural, unenhanced example of radiant cut beauty.
