3.03 Ct. Reddish Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A rare and arresting treasure, this transparent 3.03 carat oval sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a piece that speaks to connoisseurs and romantics alike, a gem reserved for those who seek something truly singular. Its reddish orange hue is intense and alive, an ember like color that glows with every turn, and the mixed brilliant cut, combined with excellent polish, maximizes scintillation and table brilliance. Measuring 9.74 x 7.09 x 5.18 mm, the oval proportions offer a classic silhouette with generous presence on the finger, while the clarity, described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, ensures a clean, transparent appearance that reads as luxurious and natural. This sapphire has been heat treated to bring out its optimum color and clarity, a common enhancement that is disclosed with full transparency, and its origin in Ceylon imparts the historical prestige and minerality prized by collectors and brides who appreciate provenance as part of their story.

As an engagement stone this sapphire redefines exclusivity, allowing the wearer to step outside traditional choices and claim a jewel that is as emotionally resonant as it is visually distinct. The warm reddish orange tone complements a variety of metals and design styles, from a minimalist solitaire in warm 18 karat gold to a bespoke halo setting framed with white diamonds that accentuate the stone's fire. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as part of a limited opportunity to own a single, hand selected example, a center stone meant to be mounted into a custom creation for a single couple, a single moment. For a proposal that will be remembered for its individuality and depth, this sapphire combines exceptional physical quality with the rarity of its hue and origin, and our team is ready to assist with private viewing, bespoke design consultation, and certification details to ensure this stone becomes the centerpiece of an engagement ring that will be treasured for generations.
