1.97 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A truly exceptional engagement choice is this transparent 1.97 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, that combines a striking presence with refined gemstone workmanship. Measuring 6.85 x 6.50 x 4.61 mm, the stone carries a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with broad flashes of color, and an excellent polish that lets light dance across each facet. The clarity grade reads very slightly included at eye level, which means the gem is visually clean to a careful observer, while still retaining the natural character and depth that distinguish a genuine sapphire. Its vivid color intensity is the defining attribute, a saturated blue that evokes classic Ceylon tones, and the sapphire has been responsibly heat treated to stabilize and enhance that color in a way that is both permanent and widely accepted by connoisseurs. In hand and on the finger this sapphire reads as a confident and elegant center stone, larger than its weight might suggest because of superb cutting proportions and optimal depth.

Compared to other engagement gemstone options in the market, this Ceylon sapphire stands apart for its combination of color, clarity, and cut. Many blue sapphires available at similar price points suffer from uneven color zoning, muted tone, or overdeep cutting that kills brilliance and reduces face up appeal. By contrast this cushion cut has been fashioned to maximize the face up color while retaining lively brilliance through its mixed brilliant pavilion, which means it flashes like a diamond while maintaining the rich personality of a natural corundum. When compared to mass market diamonds, this sapphire offers a bolder, more personal statement at a more favorable value in terms of visible size and color per dollar. When compared to lab grown or heavily treated stones, the provenance of this natural Ceylon sapphire and the transparent treatment disclosure deliver authenticity and long term appeal, qualities that matter when choosing a ring to be worn every day and treasured for a lifetime.

Value oriented buyers will find this sapphire to be an especially wise choice, because it merges rarity and practicality. A near two carat, eye clean, vivid blue, cushion shaped sapphire from Sri Lanka is uncommon in the market, and The Natural Sapphire Company brings this gem to you with the clarity of disclosure that serious buyers expect. Heat treatment is noted, as it should be, and this enhancement is the industry standard for improving color in natural sapphires in a stable, enduring way. Other sellers sometimes omit treatment details or offer stones with extensive clarity enhancements that reduce durability or resale value. This sapphire does not rely on filling or dyeing, it relies on expert cutting and a naturally favorable rough to present its vivid color and clean appearance. For setting suggestions, this stone adapts beautifully to a classic solitaire to emphasize color purity, a halo to amplify perceived size and brilliance, or a three stone design for added narrative. Metal choices will influence the perceived hue, for example yellow gold warms the blue into a regal tone, white metals emphasize sparkle, and platinum adds a contemporary weighty presence. The photos and finger shots supplied illustrate how this cushion sits and sparkles, projecting substantial color and refined elegance that will translate into daily wear.

Choosing an engagement gemstone is as much about emotion and symbolism as it is about technical quality, and this sapphire captures both. Historically associated with fidelity, sincerity and royal tradition, a vivid blue Ceylon sapphire makes a statement that is timeless and personal, unlike more common, mass produced options. The Natural Sapphire Company sources with expertise and transparency, and offers guidance so that every decision, from selecting a setting to final polishing and mounting, supports long term enjoyment and value. If you are deciding between a conventional diamond and a colored gemstone, consider the individuality and story this sapphire brings, its superior face up presence at near two carats, its eye clean clarity and excellent polish, and its origin in Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing some of the world most desirable blue sapphires. For a proposal that intends to be remembered, this cushion shape vivid blue sapphire provides a rare combination of beauty, durability, and provenance that is difficult to match on the open market, and The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to assist with custom settings, close up imagery, and expert advice to ensure this gem fulfills your vision for an engagement ring that will be worn and loved for generations.
