5.06 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Hold this 5.06 carat, GIA certified, Ceylon blue sapphire before the light and you will feel as if you are holding a fragment of the ocean at dusk, a concentrated tide of color cut into an elegant emerald shape. Its dimensions are ten point nine four by eight point eight zero by four point eight six millimeters, its clarity is eye clean when viewed at eye level, its polish is excellent, and its color intensity is simply intense, a deep, resonant blue that seems to breathe. The emerald cut and the careful symmetry of each step facet create a hall of mirrors within the gem, a slow, contemplative flash that invites the eye to linger rather than to be startled. Heat treated in the time honored way that refines and stabilizes its hue, this sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, carries the provenance and assurance of a GIA report, and it sits on the finger like a jewel of evening sky, calm and unfathomable, a promise manifested in crystal form, a poem in color from The Natural Sapphire Company.

Compared to more common gemstones this sapphire offers a different, more soulful kind of brilliance, its beauty born of depth rather than dazzle. Where diamonds scatter light in quick, brilliant fireworks, this emerald cut sapphire returns a steady, velvety glow, the kind of light that holds a memory, with flashes that travel across the step facets like moonlight across rippling water. Against blue topaz and aquamarine this stone reads as richer and more saturated, those stones often bright and cheerful, this sapphire is serious and evocative, an old world blue that hints at history and place. Even among other sapphires this specimen stands apart, because the combination of its generous 5.06 carat weight, its eye clean clarity, and its excellent polish emphasizes transparency and color uniformity in a way that many smaller or included stones cannot achieve. The result is a gem that feels both rare and intimate, a centerpiece that will carry vows and anniversaries with equal grace. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this emerald cut Ceylon blue sapphire is an invitation to wear a story, to choose a stone that speaks in deep notes rather than bright trills, a companion for moments that wish to be remembered.
