3.07 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent bi color sapphire from Ceylon carries the quiet authority of a gem that has seen centuries of admiration, a stone that will anchor a future family heirloom as surely as it recalls ancient trade routes and royal treasuries. We present a 3.07 carat emerald cut sapphire, with dimensions of 7.25 x 6.29 x 6.80 mm, cut to reveal crisp geometry and a luminous table. The stone is transparent, with a clarity grade described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, and it displays a medium light color intensity that allows its subtle bi color nature to breathe. The polish is excellent, lending each facet a mirror finish that enhances scintillation and the subtle shift of tones. This sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional and accepted practice that refines color and transparency, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that has shaped its character and its value.

Ceylon has been a cradle of sapphires for millennia, a place where gem bearing gravels and riverbeds yield stones of exceptional light and life, and that legacy informs the way collectors and connoisseurs regard this sapphire. The name Ceylon evokes a lineage of gem lore stretching from ancient merchants who sailed the Indian Ocean to the courts of kings and queens who prized the island sapphires for their clarity and luminous tones. Stones from Sri Lanka have long been celebrated for their lively, transparent hues that read beautifully in both classical and contemporary settings, and owning a sapphire from this island is to hold a piece of that long human story. For those who value tradition and provenance, the Ceylon origin is not merely a detail, it is a significant aspect of the gem that speaks to historical continuity, to centuries of artisanal study of color and cut, and to the enduring aesthetic preferences that make such sapphires so highly regarded.

The emerald cut chosen for this sapphire is a study in restraint and refinement, a classic cut that emphasizes purity of color and the internal architecture of the stone, rather than a profusion of scattered brilliance. With its broad step facets and rectilinear form, the emerald cut creates a hall of light that allows the eye to travel across planes of hue, making the bi color effect particularly compelling. This sapphire displays a gentle play between a soft cornflower blue and a cooler greenish veil that appears as light shifts across the table and pavilion, a characteristic that feels both rare and serenely natural. Because the clarity is described as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the emerald cut becomes an ideal choice to showcase clarity rather than conceal it, while the excellent polish ensures that each step facet returns light in a controlled and sophisticated manner. Heat treatment has been employed to stabilize and refine the color, a practice with deep roots in Sri Lankan lapidary history, and one that is fully disclosed as part of our commitment to transparency and ethical trade.
