4.85 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Thailand

This extraordinary blue sapphire is a rare offering for discerning collectors and connoisseurs, a gem that announces itself with quiet authority and unmistakable presence, a piece so singular that it will elevate any bespoke creation it inhabits. We present a transparent four point eight five carat emerald cut sapphire, its proportions carefully balanced at eleven point zero one by nine point nine three by four point two seven millimeters, a size and shape that lends itself to bold cocktail rings or refined pendants. Hand selected for its vivid color intensity and an exceptional level of transparency, this stone carries the hallmarks of rarity that only nature and patient craftsmanship can produce. Each facet has been cut to emphasize depth and balance, and the excellent polish delivers a surface so smooth that light seems to glide across it, revealing layers of deep, saturated blue. Originating from Thailand, and heat treated to enhance its natural hue, this sapphire is a timeless treasure, one of the select stones we reserve for clients who seek the extraordinary.

The emerald cut is a study in architectural elegance, its clean lines and step facets creating a tableau of internal light and shadow that changes with every movement, a living canvas of color. With a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone retains a purity and openness that lets its vivid color intensity sing, while the minor inclusions exist only as proof of its natural origin, microscopic fingerprints of deep earth formation that add authenticity rather than detract from beauty. The palette of blue is complex, ranging from velvety royal tones at the core to luminous cornflower notes near the pavilion when the light catches the stone at certain angles, giving it a vitality that remains compelling in both daylight and evening light. The excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and a reflective strength that enhances scintillation and color saturation, allowing this sapphire to command attention without ever appearing flashy or exaggerated.

As with all exceptional natural sapphires, the enduring beauty of this gemstone will continue to captivate over the years, maturing in character while retaining its innate brilliance. Heat treatment, a stable and widely accepted enhancement, has been applied to stabilize and intensify the natural color without compromising structural integrity, providing a reliable and lasting enhancement that will not fade with time. Sapphires are among the hardest of gemstones, which means this stone can be enjoyed in daily wear with appropriate care, yet it is the provenance and the way it resonates with light that ensures it will become an heirloom, a conversation piece passed through generations. Proper setting and routine professional cleaning will preserve the crispness of the polish and the clarity of the stone, while occasional inspections will maintain the security of the setting and safeguard the exceptional cut. The result is a gemstone that not only endures physically, but continues to reveal new depth and nuance to those who study it closely.
