4.83 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 4.83 carat oval green sapphire from Ceylon offered by The Natural Sapphire Company presents a rare combination of size, shape, and clarity that is ideal for custom jewelry, especially when compared to other green gemstones on the market. At 11.37 by 8.38 by 6.19 millimeters the stone has a generous face up presence that reads larger than many stones of similar weight because of its classic oval silhouette. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return across the table while preserving deep, saturated color, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions that give a lively sparkle in movement. Where many emeralds and some green tourmalines show prominent inclusions, or where large tsavorites command premium pricing and remain difficult to source in these dimensions, this Ceylon green sapphire offers superior eye level clarity graded very very slightly included, and represents a more practical and durable choice for pieces intended for daily wear.

When selecting a center stone for a bespoke engagement ring, a cocktail ring, or an heirloom pendant, the oval shape is one of the most versatile and flattering silhouettes. The elongated outline of this oval green sapphire visually lengthens the finger when set in a ring, and works beautifully in both vertical and east west orientations for modern custom designs. The depth of 6.19 millimeters provides enough pavilion to allow reliable prong or bezel settings without sacrificing either structural stability or light performance, which can be an issue with shallower stones. Compared to round brilliants of similar carat weight, an oval gives more apparent spread and can sit more comfortably in low profile settings, making it easier to design pieces that balance statement and wearability. The mixed brilliant cut enhances scintillation while maintaining color integrity, so jewelers have the flexibility to set this sapphire in open gallery styles that show off its hue, or in halo and cluster settings that emphasize flash and contrast.

Color and treatment are essential considerations for customers weighing options across the market, and this sapphire checks many boxes for collectors and designers alike. Origin from Ceylon or Sri Lanka has long been associated with uniquely attractive sapphire hues, and this gem shows a dark color intensity that reads as deep green with subtle bluish undertones under varied lighting. The gem has been heat treated, an accepted and stable enhancement that improves color uniformity and clarity, and is a standard practice within the trade that enhances value without compromising durability. In contrast to emeralds which often require oils or resins to improve appearance and demand careful wear, sapphires score nine on the Mohs scale and withstand everyday use with far less maintenance, making this green sapphire a smart choice for pieces intended to be worn often. For clients who want the vivid spring green of a tsavorite, those stones usually come in much smaller sizes at premium prices, so the sizable presence and relative affordability of a 4.83 carat Ceylon green sapphire delivers exceptional value and uniqueness.

From a custom design perspective The Natural Sapphire Company recommends this oval green sapphire for a wide range of signature pieces, because its proportions make it easy to incorporate into classic and contemporary settings. For a distinctive engagement ring consider a delicate halo of pavé diamonds to lift the dark green and create contrast, or choose a three stone design with tapered baguettes to emphasize the long axis. The stone also lends itself to artisan bezel settings that protect the girdle and emphasize the rich hue, or to open claw settings that let light enter the pavilion and animate the mixed brilliant cut. For pendants and brooches the dimensions provide a substantial center that remains elegant and wearable, and for bespoke men’s rings the deep green offers a compelling alternative to traditional dark gems. Our team at The Natural Sapphire Company can provide CAD renderings, setting recommendations, and advice on metal choices, with yellow gold enhancing warmth, rose gold adding a modern vintage contrast, and platinum or white gold delivering crisp contemporary looks. If you are comparing this green sapphire to other stones available today, its combination of near flawless eye clarity, meaningful carat weight, stable enhancement, and the reputable Ceylon origin make it a standout candidate for a custom piece that balances rarity, durability, and design flexibility.
