5.39 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare opportunity awaits the connoisseur who seeks a truly singular piece, a transparent 5.39 carat pear shape blue sapphire that speaks of provenance and presence, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. Sourced from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this gem carries the deep historical cachet of an island celebrated for producing sapphires of the finest pedigree, and yet gems of this exact size shape and quality appear only occasionally on the market. The gem measures 13.64 x 10.74 x 4.72 mm, a dimension that balances bold visual impact with an elegant silhouette, and it is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that marries faceted brilliance with a refined pavilion geometry. Evaluated at eye level the stone receives a clarity grade of very very slightly included, a level that allows the eye to drink in the rich, dark color intensity without distraction. The polish is excellent, and a professional heat treatment has been applied to enhance the innate color and clarity in a manner that is customary and widely accepted for sapphires, leaving the natural character of the stone intact and luminous.

This sapphire is exceptionally suited to bespoke jewelry because of its pear shape and generous dimensions, qualities that lend themselves to a variety of refined settings and creative design directions. The classic pear silhouette elongates and flatters, making it an ideal centerpiece for an engagement ring with a north south orientation, a statement cocktail ring that captures attention, or a suspended pendant that moves and sparkles with the wearer. At 13.64 x 10.74 mm the gem commands a presence that reads as both luxurious and wearable, large enough to be the unquestioned focus of a single stone setting, while still offering versatility for halo or three stone compositions. The mixed brilliant cut enhances light return through a careful arrangement of crown and pavilion facets, so that when set to allow light entry from both the crown and the pavilion the stone reveals a depth of blue that is at once vivid and layered. Designers and clients who commission bespoke pieces will find that this sapphire adapts to both minimalist modern frameworks and elaborately detailed vintage inspired creations, making it a rare canvas for singular expression.

From a technical and aesthetic standpoint the sapphire offers a number of practical advantages for custom work that conscientious designers and jewelers will appreciate. The thickness of the pavilion at 4.72 mm provides a secure base for prong and bezel engagement, permitting confident settings that preserve the silhouette and optical performance of the gem. The very very slightly included clarity grade at eye level ensures that the face up view remains overwhelmingly clean and jewel like, a trait that supports open back settings when desired to maximize brilliance, or closed back treatments when seeking a richer, saturated appearance. The excellent polish allows metalwork to sit smoothly against the girdle, facilitating snug bezels and precision prong seats. Because the stone has been professionally heat treated the color uniformity is stabilized, enabling designers to predictably match metals and accent stones. In practice this means that whether you visualize the sapphire in a sleek platinum solitaire that emphasizes pure color and form, or in a warm 18 karat yellow or rose gold mount that plays against the dark blue with striking contrast, the gem will perform with elegance and reliability down to the smallest detail.
