Navigating the pricing of Ceylon Blue Sapphires requires a blend of market data and professional expertise. In 2024, the market for Sri Lankan stones remained remarkably resilient, with unheated “Cornflower” and “Royal Blue” varieties continuing to command the highest premiums.
If you are a high-net-worth individual or a professional jeweler looking to acquire investment-grade material, understanding how Premium Gems Lanka structures their pricing is essential for your acquisition strategy.
The 2024-2025 Pricing Matrix
Pricing for blue sapphires is not linear; it scales exponentially based on the “Three Pillars of Rarity.”
| Category | Size Range | 2024 Estimated Price (Per Carat) |
| Standard Grade (Heated) | 1–3 Carats | $800−$2,500 |
| Premium Investment (Unheated) | 2–5 Carats | $3,500−$12,000 |
| Museum Quality (Royal Blue/Unheated) | 5+ Carats | $15,000−$30,000+ |
How to Request a Quote for Maximum Accuracy
To receive a definitive quote from a top-tier Sri Lankan dealer like Premium Gems Lanka, your request should be technically specific. Avoid asking for “a 2-carat sapphire.” Instead, utilize the following checklist:
- Color Target: Specify if you require Royal Blue (Vivid/Deep), Cornflower Blue (Medium/Lively), or Peacock Blue.
- Treatment Status: State whether you will only consider “Unheated” (No Heat) or if “Heated” is acceptable for your budget.
- Certification Preference: Request a specific laboratory report (e.g., GIA, GRS, or NGJA) to ensure the price reflects a verified asset.
- Cut & Shape: Specify Cushion, Oval, or Emerald cut, as the complexity of the cut can impact the price by 10-15%.
The Advantage of Sourcing Direct from Sri Lanka
By requesting a quote directly from a licensed Sri Lankan exporter, you bypass the traditional 30-50% retail markups found in New York or London.
- Real-Time Inventory: Direct dealers can provide 4K video of stones that haven’t even hit the international market yet.
- NGJA Verified: Every stone is cleared by the National Gem and Jewellery Authority, ensuring ethical export and absolute authenticity.
