14.88 Ct. Multi Color Rough Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent 14.88 carat rough shape, multi color sapphire, measures 10.14 x 4.01 x 3.35 mm, with a cut not applicable designation, and presents as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The stone exhibits a medium color intensity with an excellent polish, and no enhancement has been applied. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and the combination of translucency and multi color character provides a visually engaging surface play that responds well to directional light. The profile and proportions of this specimen favor settings that showcase length and depth while protecting the narrower girdle areas, and the weight to size ratio makes it desirable for substantial statement pieces as well as more delicate designs that retain presence without overwhelming the form.

For customization this sapphire adapts to a wide range of jewelry settings, and The Natural Sapphire Company can provide design options that retain the natural character of the stone. As a centerpiece in a ring, the stone is well suited to a bezel or partial bezel to secure the slimmer edges, or a low prong setting that aligns prongs with the length to reduce leverage on the stone. In pendants the translucency and multi color facets will be emphasized by open back or gallery styles, and a custom mounting can be fabricated to allow light to pass through for maximum color display. For earrings matched pairs are possible when paired with complementary stones such as White Opal, and the opal type White Opal pairs well for contrast in color and texture, creating a bi gem composition in stud, drop, or cluster formats. The sapphire also lends itself to halo, three stone, and cluster settings where accent diamonds or colored gemstones can be selected to harmonize with the medium color intensity. Custom services include optional recutting or light reprofiling to meet precise design requirements, while balancing retention of carat weight and the natural appearance. Technical recommendations for long term wear include protective mounting for any elongated profile, careful prong placement to avoid stress points, and consideration of metal choice for contrast and durability. All design consultations and fabrication are guided by gemological assessment, to ensure the finished piece respects the sapphire characteristics and delivers a refined, enduring result.
