3.07 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Greyish Blue Star Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Across centuries the star sapphire has been admired as a stone of mystery and dignity, carried by kings and sought by travelers who prized gemstones as talismans of protection and markers of legacy. These translucent Ceylon star sapphires reflect that long tradition, presenting a cool greyish blue hue that evokes moonlit seas and ancient temple stones. Each gem in this matched pair shows the classic asterism that defines star sapphires, a delicate six ray star that appears to glide across the domed surface as light moves, a phenomenon born of fine needle like inclusions aligned within the corundum. With origins in Sri Lanka, these stones carry the provenance collectors revere, and they are entirely natural with no enhancement, cut as cabochons to reveal the full, floating star, and finished to an excellent polish that both protects the surface and intensifies the soft inner glow.

For those seeking a balanced and wearable pair, these sapphires weigh 1.63 carats and 1.44 carats, and their dimensions are 5.98 by 5.73 by 4.16 millimeters and 5.94 by 5.85 by 4.10 millimeters respectively, round in shape to emphasize symmetry and classical form. The color is medium in intensity, the clarity is graded included when evaluated at eye level, and the translucence allows the star to be readily visible under direct illumination. These qualities make the pair ideal for heirloom earrings, a matched pendant and ring combination, or custom designs that honor tradition while remaining distinctly modern in wear. At The Natural Sapphire Company we steward each gem with transparency and care, offering guidance on setting options that protect the cabochon profile and showcase the moving star. Collectors and connoisseurs will appreciate the unenhanced natural origin, the harmonious pairing, and the way these Ceylon star sapphires carry history into everyday wear, becoming pieces that can be passed down with stories attached. If you would like further details, high resolution images, or suggestions for classic mountings that will preserve and highlight the star effect, please contact us and we will assist you in bringing this timeless pair into a design that echoes tradition and endures for generations.
