Sapphire Description

Discover a captivating 4.94 carat cornflower blue sapphire in an elegant oval shape, an exceptional choice for investment or for creating a truly bespoke statement piece. Its remarkable colour evokes the celebrated tone often associated with a fine Ceylon Sapphire, displaying a bright yet velvety blue that remains balanced and refined. Expert faceting enhances its brilliance, allowing light to reflect evenly across the surface and reveal impressive depth.

Celebrated for its timeless allure, this gemstone has been meticulously selected for its outstanding clarity and saturation. Much like a distinguished Ceylon Sapphire, it possesses a luminous transparency that gives the colour remarkable life and movement. The elegant oval cut elongates the stone’s profile, offering graceful proportions that suit both classic and contemporary jewellery designs with equal sophistication.

This impressive sapphire is perfectly suited to fine jewellery, whether set as the centrepiece of an engagement ring or crafted into a remarkable pendant. Its size and colour presence make it especially desirable for collectors seeking rarity and enduring worth. Comparable in prestige to a Ceylon Sapphire, it represents both beauty and long-term value.

Destined to be cherished for generations, this exquisite gem combines investment potential with refined elegance, making it an extraordinary addition to any distinguished collection.

Imaging Accuracy

We understand that it can be hard to assess loose sapphires colours from photos alone. All our images and videos are taken by a specialist gemstone imaging company who produce images to 99% colour accuracy with ISO standard natural daylight in high magnification. This ensures you will get the best view for colour, clarity and any visible inclusions.

Whilst this is the most accurate representation of the stones colours, sapphire colours vary depending on the lighting conditions.

Certification

All our sapphires come certified, guaranteeing authentic natural sapphires from Sri Lanka. This will come in the form of a certificate on delivery of the sapphire. Certain stones may include extra certification by GIA or SSEF Switzerland, this will be highlighted in the description. Please do contact us if you wish to discuss any certifications.

Clarity Rating

While some sapphires can appear "eye-clean" (meaning no inclusions are visible to the naked eye), most natural sapphires do contain inclusions, which are considered natural characteristics and not necessarily flaws.

Our sapphires are graded in the below format:

Eye-Clean: This is the highest clarity grade for sapphires, meaning no inclusions are visible to the naked eye. 

VVS (Very Very Slightly Included):These sapphires have very, very small inclusions that are difficult to see even under 10x magnification, and they typically appear eye-clean. 

VS (Very Slightly Included):These sapphires have minor inclusions that are clearly visible under 10x magnification, but they might be difficult to see with the naked eye. 

SI (Slightly Included):These sapphires have noticeable inclusions that are easy to observe under 10x magnification, and some may be visible to the naked eye. 

I (Included):These sapphires have obvious inclusions that are easily visible under 10x magnification and may affect transparency and brilliance.
