3.98 Ct. Blue Cabochon Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

This exquisite semi transparent blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company weighs 3.98 carats, and presents a classic round outline with precise proportions measuring 8.25 by 8.19 by 5.85 millimeters. Certified by C.Dunaigre, this gem carries a reputable laboratory report, with Lab Color Classification listed as Blue, and origin recorded as Burma Myanmar. The stone is a double cabochon cut, a shape that emphasizes the pure and intense saturation of color, and it has an excellent polish that gives the dome a glass like finish. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a grade that preserves natural character without detracting from the gemmatic presence, and importantly this sapphire is untreated, with no enhancement recorded, a feature that significantly increases desirability and rarity among collectors and connoisseurs.

Visually the sapphire offers a compelling and deep blue that is both vivid and lively, the semi transparency allowing light to penetrate the double dome and create an inner glow that shifts with movement. The double cabochon form produces a full, rounded silhouette that feels both classic and modern, and the smooth surface enhances the perception of depth and color uniformity. Minor natural inclusions are present, as noted in the C.Dunaigre report, but they remain modest at eye level, contributing to the stone as natural hallmarks that confirm its untreated origin and geographic provenance. When viewed under different lighting conditions the intense color intensity sustains nicely, showing that this Burmese sapphire retains strong saturation without becoming overly dark, a balance that many buyers seek for wearable pieces.

From a design perspective this 3.98 carat 8.25 by 8.19 by 5.85 millimeter double cabochon sapphire is superb for a signature ring, an elegant pendant, or a bespoke cufflink, and its domed profile is especially well suited to bezel or rub over settings that emphasize the smooth, polished dome while offering secure protection. Pairing options include warm yellow gold to bring forward subtle golden undertones, cool white metals to emphasize the pure blue, or rose gold for a fashionable contrast that modernizes the classic cabochon look. For those seeking a centerpiece with presence, a halo of small brilliant cut diamonds will elevate the visual scale and provide scintillating contrast to the sapphire s calm sheen, while minimalist settings will let the gem s intense blue and cabochon shape command attention on their own. The Natural Sapphire Company can assist with custom design and setting options, offering professional advice on metal choice, bezel profile, and mounting techniques that will highlight the gem s best attributes while ensuring long term wearability.
