3.70 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for the perfect sapphire to mark a milestone, to crown an engagement, or to add a rare and wearable treasure to a collector s trove, this Ceylon blue sapphire answers that search with clarity and conviction. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this transparent 3.70 carat oval sapphire measures 11.19 by 8.17 by 4.51 millimeters, and it combines a mixed brilliant cut with an excellent polish to deliver lively brilliance and balanced proportions. Its vivid color intensity is the first thing that draws the eye, a deep and inviting blue that reads richly on the hand and under evening light. Evaluated at eye level, the stone carries a clarity grade of very slightly included, which means it is essentially eye clean and allows the gem s depth and color to take center stage. This sapphire has undergone professional heat treatment, a traditional and stable enhancement used to refine color and clarity, and its origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka gives it a heritage that collectors and sentimental buyers prize.

Seeing a sapphire like this on the finger or in a bespoke setting helps you imagine how it fulfills the practical and aesthetic needs you have for a lasting piece. The oval shape flatters the hand and elongates the finger, while the mixed brilliant cut brings together facets that increase scintillation without sacrificing the gem s body color. At 11.19 by 8.17 millimeters, the stone has the presence to be a striking solitaire in an engagement ring, or it can be paired with delicate side stones for a more intricate statement. The excellent polish ensures smooth, reflective surfaces that enhance light return, and the transparent nature of the material allows a lively interplay between depth and sparkle. The very slightly included clarity makes this sapphire resilient to visual distractions, and the vivid color intensity preserves a bold identity even when set against warm or cool metal tones. The provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka is known for producing sapphires with classic and sought after hues, and that background adds provenance and story to the physical beauty.

A sapphire of this quality is an ideal candidate to become a generational heirloom, because it unites enduring beauty with the superior physical toughness of corundum. Sapphires score a nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamonds, which means they resist scratches and daily wear more effectively than most gemstones, preserving their faceted geometry and polish for decades. The practical advantages combine with emotional durability, because the vivid Ceylon blue and classic oval silhouette translate across fashions and eras. To create an heirloom piece you can pass down, consider a traditional solitaire setting that highlights the stone s color, or an iconic three stone ring where two small accent diamonds frame the sapphire. A bezel setting will maximize protection while a four or six prong design will maximize light and presence, depending on how you want the gem to perform on the hand. Beyond setting choices, you can deepen the story through discreet engraving on the band, family notes added to a gem dossier, and professional documentation of the stone s origin, treatment, and clarity evaluation. We encourage preservation practices such as gentle cleaning, periodic professional inspections, and secure storage when the piece is not worn, all of which will help this sapphire remain a living treasure for future generations.
