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

A remarkable piece that speaks to the enduring legacy of fine gemstones, this transparent 4.16 carat oval bi color sapphire carries the timeless character of Ceylon sapphires that have been treasured for centuries. Originating in Sri Lanka, the stone measures 10.20 by 8.21 by 6.04 millimeters, and its elegant oval outline is complemented by a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes scintillation and depth. The gem displays a medium light color intensity that subtly shifts between tones, creating a living canvas of hue that rewards different lighting and angles, and its excellent polish enhances the classic brilliance expected of heritage stones. Graded as very very slightly included at eye level, and free of any enhancement, this sapphire preserves its natural integrity, making it a rare and honest expression of Ceylon provenance, suitable for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate authenticity and tradition.

For bespoke jewellery, the proportions and cut of this sapphire make it exceptionally versatile, especially for custom settings where balance and presence are essential. At its size, the oval silhouette sits comfortably as a commanding centre stone in a traditional solitaire or halo design, and it also lends itself beautifully to three stone compositions, vintage inspired settings, and contemporary east west arrangements. The mixed brilliant cut delivers both table brilliance and pavilion depth, allowing the stone to reflect accent diamonds and metals with regal clarity, while the bi color nature offers a dynamic focal point that can be emphasized with warm golds or crisp platinum, depending on the design narrative desired. From an heirloom ring that will be passed through generations, to a statement pendant that honors a personal milestone, this sapphire invites a custom approach, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready to translate its history and character into a bespoke creation that honors both the gem and the wearer.
