4.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 4.04 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon offered by The Natural Sapphire Company announces itself with a rich, bold hue that reads as a symbol of personal power and distinction, a color that holds your eye and refuses to be ordinary. Measuring 10.59 x 7.92 x 5.99 mm and cut in a mixed brilliant style, this transparent gem combines the fire of precise faceting with a vivid color intensity that is rare at this size. Evaluated as very, very slightly included at eye level, and finished with an excellent polish, it delivers exceptional clarity and sparkle in hand and on the finger. Heat treated in the accepted trade practice to enhance its natural blue, this sapphire retains the velvety, luminous character associated with fine Ceylon material while offering the stability and brilliance that modern clients expect.

Compared with other options on the market, this sapphire strikes an outstanding balance of quality, value, and uniqueness, it outperforms darker, overdeep stones that sacrifice brightness and lively dispersion, and it offers a cleaner, more vibrant presence than many similar carat weight pieces that are heavily included or poorly cut. Versus lab produced alternatives, this natural Ceylon stone brings provenance and storytelling that cannot be duplicated, and versus untreated stones of identical hue, it often represents a smarter value because heat treatment is a stable enhancement that reveals the truest potential of the rough. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies light return more effectively than broad step cuts, making the color feel alive and giving the wearer a bold, distinguished look. For anyone seeking a center stone that reads as a statement of authority and refined taste, this sapphire is a superior choice, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we can advise on settings that maximize its commanding color, recommend complementary accent stones, and provide full documentation of origin and treatment so you buy with confidence.
