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

These two cushion shaped Ceylon sapphires began their story deep within the alluvial soils of Sri Lanka, where generations of miners have learned to read the land and coax jewels from riverbeds, an art that links past and present. Hand selected for their transparent, medium intense blue, they were brought to our craftsmen at The Natural Sapphire Company where each rough was studied and oriented to reveal the truest face of color and light. One weighs 2.04 carats and measures 7.77 by 5.97 by 4.77 mm, the other weighs 2.15 carats and measures 8.24 by 5.83 by 4.63 mm, both fashioned into cushion shapes with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with a deep velvety tone. Evaluated at eye level they are very slightly included, offering visual clarity that feels clean and inviting, while an excellent polish completes their mirror like surfaces. These sapphires have been heat treated, a traditional enhancement that stabilizes and deepens their Ceylon character, and the result is a matched pair whose subtle differences in size and proportion give them personality while keeping an unmistakable harmony.

As a matched pair they are extraordinarily versatile, ready to be set as a study in symmetry or as complementary accents in more creative compositions. They make impeccable stud earrings, where the cushion silhouettes sit close to the ear and their medium intense blue reads beautifully in both platinum and white gold for a cool, contemporary look, or in yellow gold for a warm, vintage inspired contrast. Placed as drops their paired balance lends itself to halo settings, each sapphire framed by delicate diamonds to amplify brilliance, or to elegant three stone rings where one stone anchors the design and the other mirrors or offsets it across the finger. For bespoke work they become the centerpieces of convertible designs, used as a matched pair in cufflinks, as twin accents flanking a custom pendant, or as focal points in asymmetrical pieces that celebrate their slight size variation. At The Natural Sapphire Company we pair these technical qualities with design counsel, suggesting bezel settings for everyday security, prong settings for maximum light return, and mixed metal approaches to reveal different aspects of the blue. These sapphires carry the patina of their Sri Lankan origin and the polish of expert hands, a duality that invites both daily wear and heirloom ambitions, and we are ready to craft them into a piece that tells your own continuing story.
