2.06 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This one of a kind Ceylon blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a rare encounter for anyone who seeks both beauty and provenance, a transparent 2.06 carat gem with measurements of 9.36 x 7.35 x 4.64 millimeters that sits perfectly in the realm of collectible, untreated sapphires. Its fancy shape and refined step cut give it a signature architectural presence, a calm and composed geometry that draws the eye into broad, mirror like facets. With a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, this stone offers the reassurance of an essentially eye clean appearance with faint natural characteristics that confirm its authenticity and natural origin. The medium light color intensity is the quintessential Ceylon expression, a clear, luminous blue that reads as elegant and wearable rather than overly dark, and the excellent polish ensures those flat stepped planes catch and return light with a satiny sheen. Most importantly this sapphire has no enhancement, a condition that greatly increases its rarity and desirability among connoisseurs, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind its origin and untreated status with the provenance and care only a dedicated specialist can provide.

Imagine this sapphire set as the centerpiece of a bespoke engagement ring or a statement pendant, its step cut elegantly offset by complementary stones that both honor the geometry and enrich the color. A halo of small brilliant cut diamonds creates scintillating contrast against the step cut facets, the cut difference creating a pleasing dance between broad flashes of blue and pinprick fire from the surrounding brilliants. For a more architectural approach, tapered baguette diamonds placed at the shoulders will echo the linear facet structure and lend the whole piece a restrained, high jewelry character. If you prefer color harmony over contrast, a pair of soft pink sapphires on either side will elevate the gentle blue into a romantic gradient, while warm 18 karat rose gold metalwork will turn the composition into a singularly intimate heirloom. For those drawn to vivid contrast, small rounds of green tsavorite garnet or rich emerald accents will create a striking botanical palette, the green enhancing the sapphire blue and delivering a look that feels both modern and rooted in classic gem pairing traditions.

When designing a custom piece around this Ceylon sapphire we often recommend thoughtful combinations that emphasize exclusivity, craftsmanship and personal narrative. A three stone ring with this sapphire flanked by two tapered baguettes in platinum will emphasize the gem size and shape while keeping the overall silhouette streamlined for everyday wear. For an avant garde pendant, orient the stone east west in a double bezel that exposes its long axis, then add randomly placed diamond melee that catch light at every turn, a subtle nod to contemporary collectors. For clients seeking something truly singular, consider a cluster composed of this sapphire paired with a scalloped ring of old mine cut diamonds, each stone bezel set to create a tactile, almost fabric like border, or pair it with a single, high color yellow diamond to create a bold signature piece that balances warmth and coolness. No matter the vision, The Natural Sapphire Company offers a private atelier experience where every choice from metal, to setting profile, to the cut and calibration of companion stones is curated to maintain the sapphire as the unquestioned focus, ensuring that the final creation feels like a limited edition artwork rather than a manufacture run piece. Owning this untreated Ceylon sapphire places you among a select group of collectors who understand the importance of origin, treatment status, and the subtle power of precise cutting, and we are ready to guide you through a bespoke design process that secures a jewel of enduring value and personal meaning.
