6.99 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This blue sapphire began its long story beneath the ancient earth of Ceylon, where heat and pressure coaxed corundum into crystalline life, and centuries of weather and geology concentrated a rare, transparent parcel of blue, The Natural Sapphire Company sourced this 6.99 carat oval from that storied ground, and its life continued under human hands, artisans in our workshops inspected the rough and chose to preserve as much of the natural depth and saturation as possible, the result is an oval measuring 12.47 by 9.70 by 6.93 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation with color saturation, this stone is eye clean at typical viewing distances, it displays vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish that reveals the internal clarity and the stone s inherent fire, the sapphire has been heat treated, a long established and stable enhancement that gently lifts color and transparency while maintaining the gem s natural character, from mine to table our cutters worked to balance the pavilion facets and crown angles so the sapphire returns light in broad, velvety flashes rather than thin, harsh reflections, every facet was evaluated to preserve the gem s Ceylon soul while maximizing brilliance and wearable presence.

Under different lights this sapphire reveals new chapters of its personality, in bright daylight and open sky it reads as a pure, vivid blue with a crystalline transparency that allows viewers to see the depth under the table, the mixed brilliant cut creates lively scintillation so each movement produces quick flashes of intense blue, in soft, overcast daylight the color deepens and becomes more velvety, a luxurious ocean tone that invites close examination, under warm incandescent or candlelight the sapphire leans toward a richer, slightly warmer blue that feels intimate and regal, tiny flashes of violet may appear as the stone tilts, under modern LED jewelry lighting the facets fire with crisp brilliance, highlighting the excellent polish and creating contrast between bright facet flashes and deep color zones, in low ambient light the gem retains presence, a concentrated blue glow that reads as elegant and mysterious, when set in a ring or pendant and paired with white diamonds or a cool metal, the sapphire s vivid color is framed and amplified, when surrounded by warm yellow gold the blue takes on a classic, historic feel, The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem with our provenance and gemological notes, so you can wear not only a beautiful stone but also a narrative that began in Ceylon and concluded in a masterful cut that sings with light.
