4.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This oval shape blue sapphire is a precise example of Ceylon gem quality, weighing 4.04 carats and measuring 10.98 x 8.54 x 5.60 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish. The stone is transparent and has a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which translates to a clean appearance to the naked eye and controlled light return from the pavilion and crown facets. Color is medium in intensity, presenting a vivid, pure blue that shows both lively saturation and a balanced tone, characteristics commonly associated with sapphires from Sri Lanka. The gem has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement used to optimize color and clarity, and its provenance is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, documented and available from The Natural Sapphire Company.

In any jewelry setting this sapphire will read as a distinctly vibrant blue thanks to its medium color intensity and well executed mixed brilliant cut, which together produce scintillation and color depth without exceeding a heavy tone that could mute contrast. Set as a solitaire, it will command attention through clean, focused color and well defined facets, and when paired with accent stones, its balanced hue will complement white metals and warm metals alike, offering flexibility in design. The dimensions and oval outline provide an elegant footprint for ring or pendant designs, allowing for both traditional and modern mounting styles while maintaining proportional presence on the finger or neckline. For designers and clients seeking a sapphire that combines transparency, eye level clarity, and a characteristic Ceylon blue, this gem represents a reliable option presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, with specifications suitable for fine jewelry projects that require color precision, cutting quality, and documented origin.
