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

A rare and elegant marvel from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this transparent bi color sapphire weighs 3.07 carats, and it is cut into a sophisticated radiant shape that balances fire with refined geometry. Measuring 9.12 x 7.48 x 5.01 mm, the stone sits with perfect presence making a statement without shouting. Its very light color intensity allows the subtle dual tones to breathe, shifting delicately as light and perspective change, and its eye clean clarity invites inspection without revealing any internal distractions. The excellent polish on each facet gives the pavilion and crown a mirror like finish, which amplifies scintillation and produces a soft luminous glow. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is a truthful jewel, with no enhancement, and a provenance that speaks to the enduring legacy of Ceylon mining and masterful cutting.

Viewed in daylight the gem reveals a whisper of transparent cool blue melding into near colorless clarity, a bi color dance that is at once ethereal and modern. Under incandescent light a faint warmth may bloom at precise angles, creating a private play of tones that rewards movement and attention. The radiant cut is an inspired choice for such a stone, its stepped and brilliant facets marrying the crisp architectural lines of a square emerald family with the livelier fire of a brilliant, allowing color to sit elegantly across the table while flashes of white light stream from the corners. The slightly shallow depth suggested by its dimensions gives the stone a broad table and an open personality, ideal for a wearer who prefers the appearance of a larger face without sacrificing brilliance. This gem is unusually pure for its category, and the lack of enhancement means its face up beauty is the product of natural color and a cutter confident in the material.

In a bespoke design this sapphire becomes the center of many luxurious narratives, depending on the mood you wish to conjure. For an engagement ring that reads as timeless and aristocratic, set the stone in platinum with a double halo of full cut white diamonds, the icy brilliance of the diamonds framing the soft bi color and elevating its cool notes into something majestic. If you prefer a warmer and more intimate expression, choose 18 karat rose gold, flank the center with tapered baguette pink sapphires, and accent with melee champagne diamonds to create a rich, whispering palette that enhances the stone without overpowering it. For a contemporary and striking look, consider pairing the sapphire with teal or violet spinel accents, set in a low profile open claw mounting that showcases the broad table and allows light to animate the bi color at every angle. Green tsavorite or demantoid garnet side stones can introduce a spirited contrast, drawing out the subtle cooler aspects while creating an elegant color conversation. For men who appreciate discreet luxury, imagine this sapphire in a signet or a pair of cufflinks, set in brushed platinum with a single cut diamond at each shoulder, the result a refined emblem of achievement.

Commissioning a custom piece with this sapphire through The Natural Sapphire Company is an exercise in taste and authenticity, an opportunity to own a gem that carries with it both natural rarity and responsible sourcing. Our artisans can adapt the setting to accentuate the stone s unique proportions, whether that means lifting the gem slightly on a cathedral setting to capture more light, or choosing a low bezel to protect the corners and create a modern architectural profile. Because the sapphire is eye clean and unenhanced, little needs to be done in the way of concealment, allowing designs to focus on proportion and balance, and on creating a silhouette that reflects the wearer s lifestyle. We recommend consulting with our designers to explore metal finishes, to select complementary stones that harmonize with the bi color temperament, and to test mockups that show how light and motion will influence the gem s personality. Owning this radiant sapphire is more than possession, it is a declaration of refined taste and quiet confidence, a jewel that announces accomplishment without ostentation, and a lifelong treasure from The Natural Sapphire Company.
