5.09 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the river terraces of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where generations of cutters and miners have learned to read the language of light in blue, this sapphire began its journey as a hidden promise in alluvial soil. Hand recovered with care, the rough was chosen for its exceptional transparency and natural tone, traits that are already rare in Sri Lankan material of this size. At 5.09 carat, and measuring 10.70 x 8.14 x 5.73 mm, this cushion shape sapphire was entrusted to master cutters who revealed a mixed brilliant cut designed to balance fire and depth, without obscuring the stone s natural clarity. The result is a transparent Blue sapphire, AGL certified, with a clarity grade described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, an excellent polish, and a medium intense color intensity that glows with a lively Ceylon character. Crucially, this sapphire carries no enhancement, a rarity among stones of comparable carat weight and hue, and a testimony to its natural origin and uncompromised beauty. The Natural Sapphire Company brings you this piece with provenance and documentation, for collectors and connoisseurs who value authenticity as much as beauty.

In the workshop the story continues, as this sapphire s proportions make it a scarce find among similarly colored gems, and its combination of size, transparency, and untreated medium intense blue places it in a class of its own. Many stones of similar weight are heat treated to deepen tone, or present with cloudiness that diminishes brilliance, but this gem maintains a rare balance between saturation and clarity that allows it to sit beautifully in both classic and contemporary settings. Its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish maximize light return, creating a lively presence on the hand or in a display cabinet, while the cushion outline reads timeless and elegant. Whether you seek a signature ring, an heirloom pendant, or an investment piece, this AGL certified 5.09 carat Ceylon sapphire is an uncommon offering, a story of place and craft turned into a wearable treasure, presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company.
