1.99 Ct. Color Change Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One transparent 1.99 carat pear shape color change sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, dimensions 7.89 x 5.80 x 5.97 mm, presents a technical profile that will satisfy discerning connoisseurs. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a faceted brilliant style crown with a precision cut pavilion to optimize both scintillation and controlled light leakage. Facet junctions are sharp and consistent, and the symmetry of the pear outline has been carefully maintained to avoid tilt and to preserve optical balance. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, with fine natural inclusions that do not interrupt the stone transparency or its light performance. Polish is excellent, providing mirror like facet surfaces that enhance return and contribute to the apparent depth of the stone. No enhancement has been applied, so the material is in its natural state and the cutting choices were made to work with intrinsic color zoning and inclusion patterns rather than conceal them.

Color behavior is the defining technical characteristic of this sapphire. Classified with vivid color intensity, the stone exhibits a distinct color change under different light sources, shifting between cool blue violet tones in fluorescent conditions and warmer violet blue under incandescent lighting. The mixed brilliant geometry and the slightly deeper total depth relative to width produce a stronger saturation in transmitted light, amplifying the color change effect while retaining lively surface brilliance. The cutter used proportion control and facet orientation to maximize pleochroism and to produce even color distribution across the pear outline, so that the color change reads consistently whether set in a solitaire mounting or alongside accent stones. Optical performance is enhanced by the excellent polish and precise pavilion angles that maintain strong internal reflection and avoid windowing.

This sapphire is exceptionally versatile for both casual and formal settings, and will perform equally well as a daily wear ring center or a signature pendant for evening wear. The pear shape offers elegant directional lines that elongate the finger when mounted, and the vivid color change makes the piece adaptable to varied wardrobes and lighting environments. For buyers seeking natural origin documentation and uncompromised material, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as a fine example of Sri Lankan color change sapphire craftsmanship, offering a stone that combines technical cutting excellence, natural origin, and robust visual versatility.
