3.60 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Thailand

From the moment this rough was unearthed in the storied terrains of Thailand, it began a journey that speaks to the patient artistry of nature and human hands. In the mineral-rich soils where corundum forms over millennia, a crystal found its place and later, it found ours. Skilled miners and cutters in Thailand recognized a core of deep blue potential, and through careful planning and respect for the stone, it was shaped into a refined oval that celebrates both depth and light. The story of this sapphire is one of transformation, heat treated to gently refine and stabilize its tone, and then handed to master cutters who used a mixed brilliant cutting style to coax out scintillation and color play, while preserving the gem's natural character and integrity.

The result is a transparent 3.60 carat oval blue sapphire, measuring 10.87 by 9.29 by 3.89 mm, with an intense color intensity, a clarity grading of slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that enhances surface luster. The mixed brilliant cut creates a compelling balance between flash and body color, allowing the rich blue to read vividly from across a room while revealing hints of depth and character to the connoisseur. Heat treatment, disclosed and customary for sapphires from this region, has been applied with restraint, enhancing the gem without masking its natural fingerprint. This sapphire sits perfectly between statement and subtlety, ideal for a collector who values provenance, craftsmanship, and enduring beauty.
