4.01 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional 4.01 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka stands apart from ordinary stones, its vivid color intensity and transparent, eye clean appearance offering a level of presence that many smaller or less lively sapphires and comparable gemstones cannot match. Measuring 9.66 by 8.03 by 6.04 millimeters, the oval shape presents an elegant table and an elongated silhouette that visually enlarges the finger, while the mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation and face up brilliance in a way that standard step cuts or poorly proportioned ovals often fail to achieve. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, this sapphire delivers true transparency to the gaze, avoiding the murkiness found in lower clarity stones, and the excellent polish ensures every facet returns light cleanly. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance color in a stable and widely accepted manner, yielding a deep, vivid blue that competes favorably with premium stones from global sources, for a fraction of the price of comparable high color diamonds and often with more character than mass produced synthetic alternatives.

For an engagement ring this sapphire offers a compelling combination of beauty, durability, and value, making it an ideal choice for a lifetime of wear. Sapphires score nine on the Mohs scale, so they resist scratches and maintain polish through daily life, and the rich Ceylon origin brings a storied provenance and a warm, velvety blue that many brides prefer for its romantic depth compared with paler or overly dark stones. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as a superior option when you want a meaningful center stone that stands out from the crowd, offering more color and presence than many same size sapphires, and a more personal story than a factory produced stone. Compared to similarly sized diamonds this sapphire provides substantial cost advantage while delivering luminous color and excellent eye clean clarity. If you seek an engagement gem that balances rarity, everyday practicality, and timeless style, this 4.01 carat Ceylon sapphire is an exceptional choice, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company will help you set it in a design that highlights its vivid hue, perfect polish, and classic oval proportions.
