3.71 Ct. Blue Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Sapphire Company is pleased to present an exquisite transparent 3.71 carat oval-shaped blue sapphire that will undoubtedly captivate the discerning eye. With dimensions measuring 9.14 x 7.33 x 5.67 mm, this remarkable gemstone exemplifies the perfect balance of elegance and precision. It is characterized by an exceptional double cabochon cut, which is a distinctive feature that teases a smooth, domed profile on both the top and bottom surfaces. This meticulous facet choice allows for heightened light play, showcasing the stone's inherent brilliance while maintaining its overall symmetry. The sapphire's eye-clean clarity, evaluated meticulously at eye level, underscores its absence of visible inclusions, ensuring that not a single distraction obscures the viewer's admiration, allowing the stone's true beauty to be fully appreciated upon first glance.

Crafted with the most intense color intensity, this blue sapphire emanates an extraordinary depth of hue emanating the profound blues of the ocean under a clear summer sky. The excellent polish achieved in its finishing stages provides a surface that mirrors the perfectionist craftsmanship instilled in its creation. This particular specimen hails from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a renowned origin synonymous with producing sapphires of radiant beauty and incomparable quality. This storied provenance adds another layer of allure, as Ceylon sapphires have long been revered for their fine saturation and legacy-infused elegance.

Paired with complementary gemstones, this sapphire transforms into the focal point of a custom piece, conveying both luxury and sophistication. Consider the exquisite harmony it strikes when set alongside small white diamonds. These serve to enhance the sapphire's glorious richness without overshadowing it, allowing the blue hue to remain the centerpiece while the diamonds introduce a captivating sparkle and contrast. In a setting with delicate yellow gold accents, the cooler tones of the sapphire are beautifully balanced, adding warmth and enhancing the overall luster. Alternatively, selecting pastel-colored gemstones like pale pink morganite or soft green emeralds as accent stones can introduce a subtle, sophisticated palette. These hues frame the sapphire exquisitely, creating a necklace or ring that echoes both classical beauty and modern delicacy.

For those seeking a distinctive custom accessory, placing this sapphire in a platinum setting invokes timeless elegance. Its subtle sheen complements the sapphire's intense color, providing a cool counterpoint to the gemstone's rich vibrancy. An arrangement integrating sapphires of varying colors, such as partnering this blue sapphire with a lighter blue version, evokes a thought-provoking gradient. This can serve as an elegant wrapping for a pendant or a statement ring, where the layered architectural design draws the eye. This careful attention to detail and artistic craftsmanship reflects The Natural Sapphire Company's commitment to transforming nature's finest gifts into cherished pieces. Our expertise in building pieces that combine luminous gemstones helps create enduring beauty that defies fleeting trends, making a valuable addition to any jewelry collection.
