2.02 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.02 carat oval blue sapphire is an exceptional example of classic Ceylon material, measuring 8.45 by 6.86 by 4.34 mm. The gem is fashioned in an oval mixed brilliant cut, a facet design that combines pavilion brilliance with a refined crown to maximize scintillation and color performance, and it has been given an excellent polish to enhance light return. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates that inclusions are minimal and do not materially affect the face up appearance, allowing the vivid color intensity to dominate the visual impression. This sapphire has been heat treated, a well established and permanent enhancement that refines color and clarity while preserving the stone's structural integrity. The combination of carat weight, precise proportions, excellent polish, and very very slightly included clarity means this stone delivers both immediate visual impact and reliable wearability for an heirloom quality jewel.

Origin plays a central role in the value of fine sapphires, and this stone is sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing sapphires with vibrant, lively blue tones and a characteristic medium to strong saturation that is highly sought after by connoisseurs. Ceylon sapphires often present a lighter, more luminous blue than the deeper cornflower or royal blues associated with other origins, and that brightness can command a premium among educated buyers who appreciate tone and hue balance as much as saturation. Provenance from Sri Lanka also aligns with stringent sourcing and gemological histories, enhancing market confidence and resale value. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document origin and treatments transparently, and we present stones like this with full disclosure and expert grading observations, so a purchaser understands exactly what they are acquiring. For collectors and clients seeking a sapphire that combines technical quality, aesthetic appeal, and verifiable origin, this 2.02 carat Ceylon sapphire represents a compelling, investable choice, ideal for a centerpiece ring or a refined pendant setting where its vivid color and excellent polish will be most appreciated.
