3.72 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This oval shaped blue sapphire weighs 3.72 carats, and measures 9.48 by 7.64 by 6.30 millimeters, and it arrives as a striking statement of personal power and distinction. Its intense blue color is rich and bold, a true Ceylon hue that reads vivid and alive under natural light, and the transparency is impressive with a clarity grade that is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize both depth and sparkle, creating a play of light that produces lively scintillation and strong face up color. The polish is excellent, so every facet edge returns light with crispness and clarity, and because this sapphire is free from enhancement, its color and character are wholly natural and unaltered. When you wear this gem, it does more than adorn, it signals confidence and refinement, a jewel that carries the quiet authority of someone who chooses authenticity above trends.

Compared with many stones offered on the market this Ceylon sapphire stands out in several meaningful ways. Many similar sized sapphires are heat treated or filled to boost color and clarity, and while those treatments can be attractive at first glance, they compromise long term value and authenticity in ways the unenhanced sapphire does not. Lab created sapphires may offer uniform color and lower cost, but they lack the geological history and rarity of a natural Ceylon stone, and they do not carry the same emotional resonance for collectors and connoisseurs. Some natural sapphires from other localities show attractive qualities, but many display less intense color or more obvious inclusions when viewed in hand. This particular gem combines intense color, high transparency, and very very slight inclusions that are not visible to the unaided eye, making it rare in its balance of beauty and natural purity. The mixed brilliant cut further distinguishes it, because it blends the fire and brilliance associated with a brilliant style with the color retention of modified faceting, so it outshines many conventional cuts that sacrifice color for sparkle or vice versa.

When you choose a gemstone from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing provenance, ethical sourcing, and expert selection, and this Ceylon sapphire is a textbook example of why provenance matters. Sri Lankan sapphires have a long standing reputation for vibrant cornflower and Ceylon blues, and this stone exemplifies that tradition while also meeting modern standards of cut and polish. The size at 3.72 carats is substantial for an unenhanced sapphire of such intense color, and that combination of carat weight and natural hue makes it suitable for a statement ring, a distinctive pendant, or a heritage piece meant to be loved and passed down. From a value perspective an unenhanced gem of this quality retains its appeal and rarity, and the market consistently rewards stones that present both natural origin and uncompromised color. If you are comparing options, consider how many stones of similar carat weight claim intense blue but require treatments to achieve it, and weigh that against a true Ceylon sapphire whose color is the result of its natural formation. This sapphire delivers immediate visual impact and long term desirability, a jewel that affirms personal power and distinction every time it is seen.
