6.40 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a first breath you take when a stone of true blue comes into your hands, a moment that feels like the ocean remembering the sky, and this C.Dunaigre certified Blue sapphire opens that memory with quiet certainty, a 6.40 carat emerald cut shape that sits like a page of deep twilight, transparent and alive. Measured with the care of cartographers of light, it is 13.32 by 8.41 by 5.60 mm, its emerald cut offering long hallways of facet and reflection, its clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level a testament to its natural story. Heat treated to reveal its soul, its color intensity is vivid, its polish excellent, and the origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a cradle of blue that has been whispered about in gem lore for centuries, a place where miners and moonlight share secrets that now live within this single, cool heart of mineral.

Imagine, if you will, a legend spun from the blue itself, that when the moon leaned too close to the Indian Ocean it slipped a strand of color into the currents, and those currents carried a fleck of sky toward the mountains of Ceylon where earth and rain and patient hands conspired to crystallize a pocket of evening. That is the backstory of this stone, a romantic map of place and patience, a promise of depth and clarity, a memory of storms softened into satin. The emerald cut is a poem in geometry, its step facets like terraces on a cliff, each plane catching and returning light with calm insistence, and the very very slight inclusions found only upon intimate inspection are like calligraphy lines in the margins of a love letter, proof that something lived and weathered and became more exquisite for the journey.

To set this sapphire in a ring is to place a piece of Ceylon twilight against skin, to let a color that reads as both regal and intimate become a daily companion, reflecting vows in a tint of deep ocean blue. The 6.40 carat weight gives it presence without pretense, a substantial companion to a hand that appreciates craftsmanship and narrative, and its emerald cut proportions, 13.32 by 8.41 by 5.60 mm, make it sing in settings that favor elegance, whether a solitary mount or a halo of smaller stones that echo its tone. The fact of its C.Dunaigre certification is a quiet assurance, a stamped note of provenance that speaks to authenticity and ethical care, and the heat treatment, a traditional enhancement, has been applied to harmonize and deepen the color so that the gemstone may be as generous in brilliance as it is in story.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we believe that gemstones are not only objects of beauty, they are anchors for moments, tokens that carry a history you can wear, a tale you can pass along. This sapphire invites a lover to step into a narrative, it imagines a proposal under a seafaring sky, it holds a vow that feels both old and newly minted, it is an heirloom waiting to be spoken into being. Hold it to the light and you will see the vivid blue breathe and change, an inner ocean gently stirred by the facets of its emerald cut, and when you share the certificate and the details, the clarity, the origin, the weight, you share the map of that memory. Choose it for romance, for ceremony, for the small, quiet act of honoring a bond, and let this Ceylon blue become the language you use when ordinary words are not enough.
