2.03 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.03 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, stands out immediately for its intense color, transparent body, and eye clean clarity at face up inspection, bringing a level of quality that competes strongly with rarer and more costly stones. Measuring 8.75 by 5.90 by 4.41 mm, the mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish deliver lively brilliance and scintillation, making the stone sparkle more like a fine gem cut for maximum fire and appeal. On the Mohs scale of hardness this sapphire rates a nine out of ten, which makes it markedly more durable for everyday wear than many popular alternatives. Compared with tanzanite that sits around six to seven on the Mohs scale, or aquamarine which is around seven and a half, this sapphire will resist scratches and maintain its finish far better in rings and frequently worn jewelry. Even against spinel and topaz which are often used as sapphire alternatives and rate around eight, the corundum structure of this Ceylon sapphire gives superior hardness and long term resilience, while still offering a warmth and depth of blue that many buyers prefer over the harshness of very dark blue stones.

Beyond hardness, the value proposition of this stone is exceptional when compared with other market offerings. Heat treatment is disclosed and is a standard, widely accepted process that enhances color and stability, producing the intense Ceylon blue so sought after by connoisseurs, while remaining more affordable than untreated stones of similar appearance. Ceylon sapphires are famed for their bright, lively blue tones that photograph and wear beautifully, a different character to the velvety depth of Kashmir or the inky saturation of Burmese stones. This sapphire’s eye clean clarity at a generous 2.03 carats elevates it above many commercial sapphires that exhibit visible inclusions or murkiness, giving more bang for your budget in both visual impact and resale desirability. When you choose this gem from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing a stone that balances exceptional durability, classic Ceylon color, expert cutting, and responsible treatment, delivering a superior choice for an engagement ring or statement jewelry piece that will hold its beauty and value through a lifetime of wear.
