5.42 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 5.42 carat round green sapphire offers an exceptional combination of weight, color and craftsmanship, making it a standout choice for discerning buyers. The stone measures 10.09 by 9.99 by 6.24 millimeters, giving it an approximate depth of 62 percent which contributes to a pleasing face up presentation and excellent light return. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the pavilion uses brilliant facets to maximize scintillation while the crown profile allows a lively play of light, and the polish is graded excellent which enhances brightness and smooth facet junctions. Clarity is graded slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone carries minor natural inclusions that are visible on careful inspection but do not significantly detract from its overall visual appeal. The color displays an intense green saturation with olive to rich forest notes that shift subtly with the angle of light, a hallmark of fine Ceylon origin material. This sapphire is heat treated, a stable and common enhancement used across the trade to optimize tone and saturation, and the treatment is disclosed as part of our standard transparency.

For someone seeking a striking and meaningful gift this green sapphire is inherently wearable and durable, corundum ranks nine on the Mohs scale so it is well suited to rings and heirloom jewelry designed for daily wear. Its generous 5.42 carat weight gives presence on the finger, as illustrated in the accompanying images, and it adapts beautifully to a variety of settings, from a classic solitaire to a halo design that emphasizes its intense color. Warm metals such as yellow gold or rose gold will accentuate the olive undertones, while white gold or platinum will emphasize the gemmatic clarity and modern elegance. Originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for bright and lively sapphires, this stone carries geographic provenance that appeals to educated collectors.
