2.98 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Blue Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This matched pair of transparent Ceylon Sri Lanka blue sapphires offers refined proportions and reliable gemological attributes for a custom pair of earrings. The sapphires weigh 1.29 carats and 1.69 carats respectively, and are cut in an emerald shape with dimensions 7.42 x 5.45 x 3.39 millimeters and 7.60 x 5.46 x 4.02 millimeters. Clarity is evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, presenting minimal internal characteristics that do not detract from overall brilliance. Color intensity is described as intense, and the polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and lively light performance. The stones have been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement, and their transparent material quality and clean cutting make them well suited to precise and secure earring settings. These attributes are documented by The Natural Sapphire Company for clarity and provenance.

For custom earrings these sapphires are particularly well suited due to their emerald cut geometry and practical proportions. The step facets of the emerald cut emphasize color and clarity, producing broad flashes that read well at ear level and under varied lighting conditions. The slightly differing weights and depths provide options for either matched pair configurations or intentional asymmetric designs, with one stone offering a slightly more substantial presence. The dimensions support a range of mounting styles, including bezel and prong studs for a modern, secure setting, classic basket or four prong mounts for maximum light return, and halo or drop designs when paired with accent stones for additional scale and contrast. Consideration of pavilion depth and girdle thickness is important for secure seatings, given the measured depths of 3.39 millimeters and 4.02 millimeters, and our gem specialists at The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on exact bezel or prong specifications to ensure alignment, symmetry, and comfort when worn.

These sapphires combine dependable gemological quality with elegant form, making them an excellent foundation for custom earring work. Their origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes desirable hue characteristics often associated with that source, and the heat treatment is consistent with industry standards for enhancing tone and saturation while maintaining durability. For clients seeking a refined, enduring pair of sapphire earrings, these emerald cut stones provide a strong balance of color intensity, clarity, and cutting quality, and The Natural Sapphire Company can assist with setting recommendations, metal choices, and finishing details to realize the final design.
