5.45 ct Blue Sapphire - Oval

At 5.45 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its blue color through an oval cut, measuring 10.9 x 9.6 x 6.8 mm.

As a member of the corundum family, sapphire pairs deep color with a hardness that makes it one of the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. Sri Lanka has produced fine sapphire in every color for two thousand years, prized for transparency and life in the stone. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here. It is GIA-certified, and the report is available to view.

Few stones reach this combination of size and quality, and fewer still come to market. We will tell you everything we know about it before you decide.
