This substantial 3.09 carat oval-cut sapphire comes from Sri Lanka. The color is a soft, pastel sky blue, light and airy rather than deep or saturated – the kind of gentle, wearable blue that reads beautifully in daylight. A visible inclusion sits within the body of the stone, along with some included texture, features that show on closer inspection but don't overwhelm the overall clarity of a stone this size. At over 3 carats, it has real substance and presence, suited to a statement ring or pendant. The color owes its full expression to heat treatment.
