34.81 Ct. Blue Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite blue sapphire, originating from the renowned gem-rich region of Ceylon in Sri Lanka, is an impressive specimen that showcases the beauty and allure of nature’s creations. The sapphire weighs in at a substantial 34.81 carats and features a rough shape that invokes a sense of raw elegance. Its dimensions of 30.18 x 12.33 x 9.91 mm highlight a significant presence, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a statement piece of considerable investment value. Though it boasts an n/a cut, this attribute allows for a spectrum of creative possibilities when designing custom jewelry, especially when one considers collaborating with master lapidaries to hone its inherent brilliance.

Striking in its appearance, this sapphire possesses a medium intense color intensity that radiates a lively hue akin to the deep blue of the ocean. Such color saturation is particularly prized and contributes extensively to the gemstone's desirability among collectors and connoisseurs. The stone's very slightly included clarity, as assessed at eye level, ensures that minor internal characteristics do not detract from its overall allure. Instead, they offer a glimpse into the fascinating natural processes through which this gem was formed over millions of years. Its excellent polish further enhances the sapphire’s innate color propensity, ensuring it will catch the eye from all angles with equal captivation.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we emphasize expert craftsmanship that transforms each sapphire into a masterpiece. When considering this blue sapphire for a custom creation, its semi-translucence offers a myriad of exciting design possibilities. A master artisan could complement the dominant blue of this sapphire through the addition of contrasting gemstones. Diamonds, with their unmatched fire and brilliance, would introduce a clean, crisp counterpoint. Baguette or round cut diamonds could border the sapphire, establishing a vivid interplay between their cool white light and the sapphire’s deep blue depths, reflecting light from every facet to enhance the piece's overall vibrancy.

Alternatively, the introduction of colored gemstones could offer a more eclectic aesthetic. Yellow sapphires, for example, could be utilized to accentuate this stone, creating a harmonious palette reminiscent of the sun meeting the sea. The warmth of the yellow would serve to both complement and contrast with the cooler tones of the blue sapphire, drawing the eye and emphasizing each stone's intrinsic qualities. For those with a penchant for bolder statements, a combination of ruby accents could also be employed. The rich red of rubies could provide a striking juxtaposition against the blue, creating a dynamic visual contrast indicative of royal elegance.

Ultimately, this remarkable 34.81 carat blue sapphire from Ceylon exemplifies the jewels of the Earth with its perfect blend of size, color, and clarity. At The Natural Sapphire Company, our goal is to preserve and enhance the inherent beauty of such stones through unrivaled craftsmanship and expert guidance. Whether nestled within a simple, elegant setting or surrounded by complementary gemstones for a more opulent effect, this sapphire is certain to become a treasured heirloom piece that highlights nature’s artistry and the owner's exceptional taste.
