3.55 Ct. Bi Color Cabochon Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

Introducing a rare and charming bi color sapphire from Burma, Myanmar, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this piece is a semi transparent 3.55 carat oval shape gem that captivates with its soft, flowing color and natural character. Carefully cut as a cabochon to enhance its surface luster and depth, the stone measures 9.82 by 8.52 by 4.02 mm, making it ideal for a statement ring or an elegant pendant. The cabochon cut emphasizes the gemmatic textures and internal color zoning, allowing the bi color nature to reveal itself in different lighting and angles. With an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, this sapphire displays a lively surface sheen and a tactile smoothness that feels luxurious to the touch. As a natural, untreated example, this sapphire has not undergone any enhancement, preserving its original character and offering collectors and connoisseurs an authentic gemstone with traceable origin, clarity, and color.

The bi color phenomenon in this sapphire creates an intriguing visual story, where cooler blue tones blend into warmer, slightly golden or greenish areas, depending on the light. The intense color intensity means that when viewed against a white background, the hues remain saturated and visually striking, while the semi transparent nature allows light to travel through the gem just enough to create depth and gentle internal reflections. The cabochon shape softens the presentation compared with faceted stones, creating a smooth dome that encourages movement and discovery as the stone is turned. For someone who appreciates subtler interplay of color rather than overt brilliance, this gem offers a refined, contemplative beauty. The origin of Burma, Myanmar, is significant for many buyers who value the historical reputation of Burmese sapphires for producing desirable color and character, and it also adds a layer of provenance that is increasingly important to collectors who care about ethical sourcing and geological heritage.

Regarding clarity and finish, this sapphire has been assessed as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means it shows only minor inclusions that do not detract from the overall appearance and character of the gem. These natural inclusions are part of the stone story, often contributing to the unique personality of cabochons and helping to identify individual pieces. The excellent polish enhances the cabochon surface, providing a glossy finish that invites touch and highlights the intensity of the colors beneath. Because this sapphire is unenhanced, it will age and respond to settings like any other durable corundum, and it can be confidently worn in everyday jewelry with appropriate care. For setting suggestions, consider a bezel or halo design that complements the smooth cabochon top, or a simple four prong mounting that allows light to play across the dome, while a protective bezel will safeguard the edges and preserve the polish for many years.

Choosing this bi color cabochon from The Natural Sapphire Company is an opportunity to own a gem that is both visually captivating and responsibly sourced, with clear, detailed specifications that support informed purchasing. The 3.55 carat weight and the measured dimensions make it versatile for custom design, whether you prefer a modern minimalist look in platinum or white gold, or a warmer vintage inspired setting in yellow gold to enhance the subtle golden tones within the stone. As a natural, untreated gemstone with intense color intensity and excellent polish, it also makes an attractive option for collectors who place a premium on original condition and provenance. To care for this sapphire, clean gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and remove jewelry before activities that could cause impact.
