3.60 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine a drop of midnight ocean captured at the exact moment twilight becomes night, held in a delicate oval of fire and memory. This exquisite transparent blue sapphire weighs 3.60 carats, and measures 9.11 by 7.90 by 6.03 millimeters, its proportions carved into a refined oval and faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that sings with every turn. The surface is polished to an excellent sheen, and the stone carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a subtle signature that proves its natural origin rather than detract from its beauty. Born beneath the monsoon skies of Ceylon Sri Lanka and enhanced by thoughtful heat treatment to lift its intense color intensity, this gem looks as if it was made to hold secret promises. When set, the facets catch and release light like a heartbeat, scattering velvet flashes of deep cornflower and indigo, and drawing the eye inward to a center that feels both timeless and immediate.

Placed into a ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, this sapphire becomes a living poem against the skin, and its intense blue reads differently on every palette. On fair complexions its vivid hue becomes a celestial contrast, the blue appearing almost luminously clear, like a star reflected on fresh snow, and cold metals such as platinum or white gold will heighten that icy brilliance and lend a modern, pure elegance. For warm or olive tones the stone unfurls a richer personality, the blue warming toward royal and peacock notes when paired with yellow gold, and rose gold will introduce a whisper of romance that softens the contrast and creates a halo of warmth around the gem. On deeper skins the sapphire becomes gloriously regal, its intense color singing with clarity and presence, and both white and yellow settings offer striking drama, while a soft halo of small diamonds will let the blue glow like a lantern. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies scintillation in all lights, and the generous face up size ensures that the oval sits like a small window of ocean on the hand, equal parts bold and intimate.

Imagine this gem made into an engagement ring that reads like a vow, or a pendant that hangs like a private horizon, or earrings that turn with laughter and candlelight.
