4.04 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the ancient, weathered soils of Ceylon, this sapphire began its slow and patient journey, formed under conditions of heat and pressure that coaxed its unique bluish green hue into being. Careful hands in Sri Lanka first brought it from rough to recognition, then the stone traveled to skilled cutters who revealed its full potential. We present a transparent, 4.04 carat cushion shape bluish green sapphire, measuring 9.65 by 7.61 by 5.75 millimeters, fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to marry scintillation and depth. At eye level the clarity is very very slightly included, a clarity grade that allows the gem to remain lively and clean to the viewer, while its intense color intensity and excellent polish give it a presence that feels both natural and elevated. This stone has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that refines color and transparency, and through each stage of its crafting The Natural Sapphire Company has ensured that the gem's inherent character was preserved and highlighted.

Placed into a setting, this sapphire will not merely sit, it will command, its bluish green tones shifting with movement and light to create a conversation between sea green and deep blue. The cushion profile and mixed brilliant facets allow pinpoint flashes and broad color planes to play together, so in a solitaire ring the gem will capture and return light with lively brilliance, and in a halo or trio composition its intense color will anchor surrounding diamonds, making them appear colder and brighter by contrast. In a pendant, the stone will float with an almost watery luminosity, and in bespoke earrings it will provide a striking symmetry of hue that flatters many skin tones and metal choices. Whether set in yellow gold to warm its green notes, in white gold to emphasize its blue depth, or in platinum for a modern contrast, this sapphire stands out in any jewelry setting by combining an uncommon bluish green color with a cutter s attention to proportion and polish. At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish the stories each gem carries, and this 4.04 carat Ceylon sapphire carries the story of earth and craft, ready to become the focal point of a treasured piece.
