6.03 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape wonder weighs 6.03 carats, and measures 13.02 by 9.01 by 7.00 millimeters, and it is a rare opportunity to own a transparent blue sapphire of true presence, offered exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company. The mixed brilliant cut gives this stone a lively, scintillating personality, combining the depth of classic facets with the fire of modern cutting techniques, and the excellent polish elevates every facet to sing when the light moves. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone is essentially eye clean, with minute internal characteristics that do not interrupt its crystalline purity, and instead affirm its natural origin. The color sits in a medium intense range, a blue that is neither pale nor overpowering, a nuanced tone that balances sunlight and candlelight, and the piece has been heat treated in the accepted manner to bring out the best of its inherent color, as is common among prized sapphires, while preserving the natural character that makes each Sri Lankan gem unique.

When you hold this sapphire beside the stories of history, its virtues become more apparent, and its individual voice emerges against the chorus of famous gems. It recalls the cornflower allure seen in the Logan Sapphire, without attempting to copy size, instead offering a concentrated, pure blue that fits elegantly into wearable high jewelry. It shares the luminous transparency admired in the great Ceylon stones that have adorned royal collections, and it contrasts with star sapphires like the Star of India, by offering faceted brilliance rather than asterism, making its light performance more dynamic and alive. Compared to the deep, velvety tones of some Burmese treasures, this Ceylon sapphire presents a fresher, more open blue, a color that reads beautifully under varied lighting and that displays life in every angle. The pear silhouette gives it an air of regal modernity, a form that has graced royal pendants and collector rings alike, yet its scale and cut make it a rare find for the connoisseur who seeks a piece both wearable and museum worthy.

The provenance of this stone is a significant part of its story, it originates in Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, a source that has produced some of the most celebrated sapphires in history, and that imparts a legacy of color and clarity which collectors prize. Heat treatment in this specimen has been applied responsibly to refine the hue and reveal the best of its medium intense color, a standard practice that enhances value without misrepresenting nature. The clarity grade of very slightly included, observed at eye level, means the gem offers the coveted balance between natural authenticity and visual perfection, a quality that seasoned collectors associate with long term desirability and enduring charm. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return, creating flashes and scintillation that can rival the liveliness of well cut diamonds, while the pear shape provides an elongating silhouette ideal for bespoke settings, whether as the centerpiece of an engagement ring, a statement pendant, or an heirloom brooch.
