5.12 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This cushion shaped blue sapphire from Ceylon is an object of rare distinction, a jewel that reads as both a declaration of refined taste and a private triumph. Weighing a commanding 5.12 carats, it measures 9.70 by 8.38 by 6.86 millimeters, proportions that give the gem a presence large enough to be the focal point of a grand solitaire, and elegant enough to nestle within a more intricate, bespoke setting. Cut as a mixed brilliant, its faceting is engineered to balance scintillation with depth, allowing the intense color intensity to play across the pavilion and crown with luminous clarity. The clarity is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a quality that renders the surface visually pristine while permitting enough natural character to quietly narrate the gem’s geological origins. An excellent polish elevates the stone further, each facet finishing to a mirror sheen that amplifies the vibrant cornflower to royal blue hues for which Ceylon sapphires are celebrated.

Beyond beauty, this sapphire embodies a considered approach to ownership, an essential attribute for the conscious collector. The Natural Sapphire Company procures stones from Sri Lanka with a rigorous emphasis on ethical sourcing, working through trusted supply chains and long standing partnerships on the ground to ensure fair labor practices and responsible stewardship of the land. The sapphire has been heat treated, a customary and stable enhancement that gently refines color while preserving the gem’s natural character. We are transparent about every treatment and provenance detail, and we support traceability at every stage, offering independent gemological documentation upon request. For the discerning buyer who wishes their acquisitions to reflect not only personal style but also a moral sensibility, this sapphire answers that desire. It is a jewel that carries with it the legacy of a community, and the assurance that beauty need not be divorced from responsibility.

Imagine this stone set as the centerpiece of a signature engagement ring, suspended in a refined pendant, or mounted as a bold ring for evening wear, each setting magnifying its saturated blue and impeccable polish. Its cushion silhouette lends itself to both contemporary and classic motifs, while the mixed brilliant cut ensures exceptional performance under light, yielding flashes of brilliance and a depth of hue that is unforgettable. For the collector who curates with intention, this sapphire is more than an adornment, it is an heirloom in waiting, a piece to be passed down with stories of provenance and care.
