5.02 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When it comes to the allure of gemstones, the blue sapphire remains unmatched in its timeless appeal and elegance. Among the vast array of options available, the breathtaking transparency and vibrant hue of this particular 5.02 carat oval-shaped sapphire set it apart as a superior choice for the discerning customer. Measuring 10.34 x 9.03 x 6.65 mm, this sapphire not only captivates with its size but also dazzles with its mixed brilliant cut, ensuring a play of light and reflections that is seldom seen in gemstones from other locales. The origin of this remarkable sapphire is Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing some of the finest sapphires the world has ever seen.

The origin of Ceylon adds a layer of prestige and desirability due to its storied history and reputation for high-quality gemstones. Unlike sapphires from locations like Madagascar or Thailand, Ceylon sapphires display a distinctive clarity and color saturation that speaks to their unique geological formation. In comparison, sapphires from Madagascar often feature a different kind of brilliance and those from Thailand might present a slightly darker tone. Meanwhile, Ceylon sapphires, such as the one offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, are celebrated for their vivid color intensity which is not only pronounced but also beautifully consistent. This sapphire’s vivid blue hue can be favorably compared to the storied Kashmir sapphires, known for their velvety quality, yet the Ceylon sapphire offers a crystalline clarity that captures both the light and the eye.

Closely examining the quality of this gemstone, one cannot ignore its stellar clarity grade of very slightly included. This means that while minor inclusions are present, they are not discernible to the naked eye and do not detract from the overall luxurious appearance of the stone. This clarity rate is arguably superior to many other sapphires on the market, where similar stones may possess inclusions that are more noticeable or larger, impacting the overall brilliance and light performance. Coupled with an excellent polish, which enhances the stone’s luster and sparkle, this blue sapphire emerges as an object of pure beauty and craftsmanship. The polish ensures that the surface is mirror-like, allowing light to dance effortlessly across its facets and presenting a fiery and mesmerizing display.
