2.02 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Before you even consider a setting, this 2.02 carat round blue sapphire announces itself with the quiet authority of a rare gem. Its dimensions of 7.05 x 6.96 x 4.88 mm render it exceptionally well proportioned for a statement center stone, whether set in a solitaire ring, a halo of delicate diamonds, or a bespoke pendant crafted to frame its presence. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to marry the best of scintillation and depth, ensuring that each movement catches and returns light in precise flashes that emphasize the stone, rather than distract from it. At The Natural Sapphire Company we handle these exceptional sapphires sparingly, and the combination of size, symmetry and superior cut makes this particular stone the kind of find that only happens when patience, expertise and provenance align.

Clarity is the quiet luxury of gemstones, and this sapphire carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. In plain terms, that means the stone reads as transparently clean to the unaided eye, while possessing the tiny natural signatures that prove its authenticity and origin. Those subtle inclusions do nothing to diminish brilliance, indeed they often add depth and character when paired with a masterful cut and excellent polish. The polish is top tier, which translates into mirror like facets and crisp facet junctions that allow maximum light return. For a client seeking a piece that is unmistakably a statement, you want a stone that is readable at a distance as a jewel of remarkable quality, and this sapphire fulfills that brief with confidence.

Color is the currency of sapphires, and this gem carries an intense color intensity that reads richly saturated, without tipping into darkness. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, it bears the lineage of some of the most sought after blue sapphires in the world. Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their luminous, often velvety blues, and this piece reflects that tradition while maintaining a contemporary vigor that suits modern design sensibilities. Importantly, this sapphire has no enhancement, and that provenance is increasingly rare in the market. Unenhanced, natural color content is the hallmark of a collector grade stone, and when combined with the carat weight and cut you have a jewel that stands alone in both aesthetic impact and ethical transparency.

Beyond the strict gemological attributes, envision how the dimensions and clarity translate into presence. A round 2.02 carat stone at just over seven millimeters in diameter fills a ring setting with authority, creating a focal point that is as much an expression of personal style as it is a demonstration of refined taste. The mixed brilliant cut ensures dynamic light performance for evening events and daytime occasions alike, while the very very slightly included clarity allows the gem to read clean and luxurious at social distances. When bespoke settings are considered, this sapphire offers designers a canvas of light and color to play against metals and complementary stones. Whether set in platinum for a contemporary, cool aesthetic, or in 18 carat yellow gold to warm the tone and add antiqued character, the sapphire adapts and elevates the final piece into something truly singular.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate these stones with an emphasis on limited availability and individualized service. This sapphire is more than an inventory item, it is a commissionable work of wearable art that we present to clients who value rarity and provenance. If you are seeking a statement piece that will be recognized for its natural integrity, measured size, and masterful cut, this sapphire warrants the conversation. We offer private viewings and bespoke design consultations to ensure the final setting honors the stone, and we stand ready to advise on design proportions that preserve the gem as the central motif. Owning a sapphire of this caliber is to join a small circle of connoisseurs who appreciate unenhanced color, exceptional polish, and a scale that declares presence without excess.
