3.64 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A heart shaped vision in vivid blue, this 3.64 carat sapphire from Ceylon is an unequivocal statement of refined taste, offered exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company. Its dimensions, 8.93 x 9.54 x 5.79 mm, present a generous and flattering silhouette that reads as both romantic and impeccably sophisticated. The gem is transparent, with a clarity assessed as very very slightly included at eye level, allowing the eye to drink in an unbroken field of colour that is at once saturated and luminous. The vivid colour intensity declares itself from every angle, while an excellent polish affords a mirror like finish that enhances light return. A subtle enhancement by heat treatment has been applied, a standard and accepted practice that has been executed with restraint and care, honouring the stone's natural character rather than altering it. Possession of such a sapphire is not merely an acquisition, it is an affirmation of connoisseurship and an invitation to partake in a lineage of jewellery that privileges provenance, craft, and enduring beauty.

The essence of this gem's exceptional performance lies in its mixed brilliant cut and the precision of its geometric faceting, a choreography of planes that directs light into a beguiling interplay of brilliance and scintillation. The crown facets and pavilion facets are proportioned to create optimal pathways for light, encouraging both intense flashes of white light and deep, velvety flashes of blue. The heart shape introduces a delicate symmetry, a cleft and lobes that require exacting skill to execute without compromising light return. Each facet has been placed to work with its neighbours, producing an internal geometry that scatters and reflects light rather than allowing it to escape. The result is a dynamic spectacle, a lively dance of light that alternates between crisp star like sparkle and broad, velvety flashes of colour, depending on the angle of view and the movement of the wearer. This is cutting designed not only for beauty, but for performance, ensuring that the sapphire never sits still in the eye but constantly captures and rewards attention.

Wearing this heart shaped sapphire transforms presence into performance, as the stone responds to ambient light with shifts in tone that reveal its depth and vitality. Under natural daylight the vivid blue opens up to reveal azure and royal notes, while warmer interior lighting imparts a more intimate, near velvety depth, creating a jewel that is both versatile and mesmerising. The mixed brilliant cut contributes to an exceptional balance of fire and brilliance, creating scintillation that reads as lively and contemporary, while the heart silhouette lends an enduring romanticism. The proportions of 8.93 by 9.54 millimetres across and a depth of 5.79 millimetres maintain a pleasing table size and pavilion depth, supporting a strong visual presence on the hand or at the throat, while ensuring the stone remains wearable and comfortable. The very very slightly included clarity keeps the visual impression pure to the eye, while the excellent polish sharpens every facet junction, producing crisp facet reflections that underline the sapphires three dimensionality. For the discerning client this sapphire performs as both a centrepiece and a private delight, a gem that delivers daily pleasure and occasional breathless admiration in equal measure.

Provenance and craftsmanship frame the value of this sapphire, a gemstone born in the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long celebrated for producing sapphires of exceptional colour and character. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone with full transparency regarding treatment, clarity, and cutting, ensuring that the buyer understands both the beauty and the integrity of the piece. This sapphire is ideally suited to bespoke settings that celebrate its heart shape and allow light to enter and escape freely, settings that may be imagined in warm yellow gold to enhance the rich blue, in cool platinum for a crisp modern statement, or in soft rose gold to introduce a romantic contrast. As an object of desire it rewards the collector who values subtlety over ostentation, and as an item of personal significance it affirms achievement and thoughtful taste.
