3.75 Ct. Bluish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet moonlight at the heart of this sapphire, a translucent song of bluish purple that seems to have been plucked from a dream and cut to hold its breath. We present a transparent, 3.75 carat oval sapphire, measuring 10.14 x 8.41 x 5.62 mm, that carries a medium intense color and the generous fire of a mixed brilliant cut. Every facet has been brought to an excellent polish, and under gentle daylight the stone opens like a secret garden, showing flashes of amethyst and deep ocean blue. The clarity reads very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which allows the gem to remain lively and alive, a real and honest jewel rather than something manufactured. There is no enhancement to alter its nature, and its origin in Ceylon, Sri Lanka adds a layer of provenance and myth. Picture this gem set where it will catch a passing breeze, and you will understand how its facets converse with light, how even the smallest movement turns the stone into a private aurora.

Across history great gems have become words in the lexicon of romance, each with a story and a lesson. Think of the Kashmir sapphires that taught the world to love the pure cornflower blue, and of Sri Lanka stones that carried the sea and sky into royal settings. In that lineage this bluish purple sapphire is both a cousin and a new voice, a bridge between the deep, velvety blues of royal collections and the sweet lilac notes that turn the eye inward. It is kin in spirit to the colossal Star of India with its storied Sri Lankan roots, but where that gem is famed for its asterism and magnitude, this gem offers a different kind of intimacy, a gemstone that speaks in color nuance rather than in singular spectacle. Compare it to the Logan Sapphire that glows with majestic blue, and you will find that our sapphire asks for a softer kind of devotion, one that values subtlety and warmth. The absence of treatment, no enhancement, is a rare and profound quality, a promise that the color you see was born of the earth and light alone. That natural truth elevates this stone from mere ornament to heirloom potential, and it is precisely this sincerity of origin, clarity, and color that gives it its distinctive worth.

Allow me to imagine how this sapphire will live in your life, how it will gather stories like morning mist collects on a valley. Set in a delicate halo, it will be a dawn on the hand, reflecting both the cool gravity of blue and the tender whisper of purple, a jewel for vows and for everyday poetry. For an engagement it will become a symbol of connection that is not showy but resolute, the sort of stone that holds steady when life sculpts new offerings and trials. For a pendant it will rest near the heart, a warming presence that brightens from within. The Natural Sapphire Company brings this gem to you with full regard for its character, and we stand ready to help craft a setting that honors the stone without overwhelming it. Consider a simple platinum bezel to emphasize the clarity and depth, or a finely wrought gold mount to draw out the purple notes. Care for it with gentle cleaning and occasional professional inspection, and it will repay you with decades of ever changing light. In a world of imitations and enhancements this untreated Ceylon sapphire offers something rarer than brilliance alone, it offers truth, provenance, and the steady, private glow of a treasure meant to be loved rather than displayed.
