15.83 Ct. Blue Star Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Our exquisite 15.83 carat blue star sapphire stands as a testament to the unparalleled allure and mystique of gemstones from Ceylon (Sri Lanka). Renowned across the globe for producing some of the finest sapphires, the mines of Ceylon yield stones that have captivated collectors and connoisseurs alike. This particular sapphire boasts a classic oval shape with dimensions of 16.34 x 12.67 x 7.14 mm, perfectly proportioned to showcase its unique celestial phenomenon. Its cabochon cut is carefully crafted to highlight the star-like reflection that dances across its surface, a natural wonder known as asterism. This effect is due to oriented needle-like inclusions within the gemstone, creating a splendid six-rayed star that glides harmoniously over the velvety blue surface as light moves across the stone.

Graded as slightly included at eye level, this blue star sapphire offers an opportunity to appreciate nature's artistry without any visual distractions. The minor inclusions, typical of stones of its kind, are a testament to its natural formation over millions of years. Such inclusions enhance its authenticity and serve as a reminder of the gemstone's journey from the depths of the earth to a cherished possession. Its intense color intensity further distinguishes this star sapphire, providing a vibrant blue hue that evokes the deep and vast beauty of the ocean. Complementing these features is the stone's excellent polish, ensuring a smooth and enchanting surface that catches the eye from every angle.

Pairing this blue star sapphire with complementary gemstones in a custom piece can elevate its spectacle, creating a strikingly beautiful ensemble that is both classic and contemporary. Consider accenting with round brilliant or baguette white diamonds, which can bring out the strong blue of the sapphire and add unmatched brilliance and elegance to the overall design. Additionally, incorporating vivid pink sapphires or radiant yellow sapphires can offer a modern twist, introducing color contrasts that play beautifully against the mysterious star within the sapphire. Accenting with gemstones such as spinels or tourmalines can further enhance versatility, making the jewelry exude luxury and sophistication for any occasion.

In crafting such a custom piece, one must also consider the setting; platinum or white gold is often preferred for their cool tones, which harmonize exquisitely with the blue star sapphire’s intense color. However, yellow gold can provide a warm and traditional aesthetic, offering a rich backdrop that highlights the sapphire's depth of color and the shimmer of the star. Given its remarkable size and captivating allure, this blue star sapphire can serve as both the centerpiece of a statement necklace or the heart of a refined ring, complemented by a thoughtfully selected assembly of gemstones around it.
