2.06 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the fascinating world of gemstones, the allure of a sapphire lies not just in its captivating beauty but also in its storied origins, a factor that significantly enhances its value and appeal. Our exquisite 2.06 carat blue sapphire, with its stunning cushion shape and dimensions of 7.55 x 6.74 x 4.41 mm, is a true testament to this fact. Originating from the famed mines of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this sapphire embodies the rich legacy and remarkable history that come with gems from this region. When it comes to colored gemstones, the origin is indispensable, influencing not only the price but also the desirability of the piece.

Sri Lanka has long been celebrated as one of the most prestigious sources for sapphires, distinguished by its vibrant and high-quality gems. Known historically as the Island of Gems, the region has been a cornerstone of the sapphire mining industry, producing stones with unparalleled color richness and clarity. The sapphire from Ceylon is highly sought after due to its intense blue color and exceptional clarity, often compared favorably against sapphires from other sources like Madagascar or Myanmar. The unique geological conditions in Sri Lanka give these sapphires their deep, intense color, setting them apart as some of the finest examples of the gemstone. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are proud to offer sapphires from this renowned source, knowing that each stone tells a story that is both unique and profound.

What makes this particular sapphire truly special is not only its origin but its exquisite craftsmanship. The mixed brilliant cut enhances its natural brilliance, allowing it to reflect light beautifully, while the slight inclusions (evaluated at eye level) add character without compromising its beauty. Its intense color intensity makes it a vibrant choice for all occasions, lending a touch of distinction and elegance. The flawless polish of this stone is a testament to the meticulous effort that has gone into every facet of the cushion shape, ensuring the highest standards are met. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we prioritize quality, ensuring every sapphire meets our rigorous selection criteria, resulting in a piece that promises to captivate and endure.

Contrasting with gems sourced from other parts of the world, a Ceylon sapphire is not only sizeable or visibly striking but also tells a richer story of provenance. While sapphires from Madagascar can rival in color or Mexican stones in size, the historical relevance and consistent high quality from Sri Lanka create an unmatched pedigree. When you select a Ceylon sapphire, you are also choosing a legacy of gemological excellence, passed down through generations of skilled artisans. The sapphire's legacy as a protective talisman and symbol of wisdom takes on added significance when its origin is Sri Lanka, where such beliefs are intertwined with the cultural fabric.

For collectors and connoisseurs, a gemstone's journey from the depths of the earth to a beautifully crafted jewel is a tale of wonder and artistry. Our 2.06 carat blue sapphire is a milestone in that journey, a symbol of not just the art of gemstone mining, but also of sophisticated artistry.
