2.07 Ct. Greyish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

I am pleased to tell you the story of this exceptional sapphire as it travels from the ancient soils of Ceylon to the light filled display case at The Natural Sapphire Company. Born within the layered geology of Sri Lanka, this gem began as a moment of mineral fortune in gem bearing gravels that have yielded treasures for centuries. Small teams of skilled miners working with careful hands recovered the rough crystal, and from the moment it left the earth there was potential for something enduring. That potential was revealed in a transparent, greyish blue crystal that promised clarity, subtle color, and a form that would respond beautifully to expert cutting. When evaluated by our gemologists, the stone registered as a 2.07 carat sapphire, the proportions finalized as an emerald cut to highlight its step facets, and the dimensions recorded at 8.08 millimeters by 6.35 millimeters by 4.00 millimeters, with a color intensity that reads as medium light, a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, an excellent polish, and no enhancement, a pure natural treasure from Ceylon, Sri Lanka.

The lapidary chapter of this gem is a study in restraint and precision, guided by decades of experience and a deep respect for the stone itself. An emerald cut was chosen to emphasize the sapphire is crystalline transparency, to create broad, luminous steps that reveal the gem inside rather than masking it with excessive brilliance. Each facet was planned to work with the greyish blue hue, allowing flashes of cool blue and silvery grey to move as the stone turns, much like a coastal sky shifting with the wind. The very slightly included clarity is part of the gem story, a fingerprint from its formation that affirms authenticity and individuality while remaining visually clean at normal viewing distance. The excellent polish brings the stepped planes to a mirror finish, so light travels smoothly through the stone and returns with elegant calm. Because this sapphire is unheated, it carries greater rarity and permanence, an unaltered record of the conditions that formed it beneath the surface of Sri Lanka.

When you imagine a jewel made from this sapphire, consider the ways in which it becomes more than ornament, becoming instead a vessel for memory and meaning. This gem sits at 2.07 carats, a size that reads confidently in a ring center or as a commanding pendant, and its emerald cut lends an air of timeless architecture, an aesthetic that transcends fleeting trends. As corundum, sapphire ranks second only to diamond in hardness, a material resilience that in practical terms means the stone can be worn daily, enjoyed through life events, and handed down with only the gentlest of care. Because it is natural and untreated, each subsequent generation will see the same authentic stone that was chosen today, not a modified version of it. Set in a design that honors family continuity, perhaps paired with a personal engraving on the setting, this sapphire can anchor stories of commitment, celebration, and quiet moments alike, moving from occasion to memory without losing physical integrity or provenance.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we do more than offer beautiful gems, we steward their stories so they can be entrusted to future owners. We accompany each sapphire with clear documentation of origin and characteristics, and we support bespoke design and careful settings that protect the stone while showcasing its unique character. The natural greyish blue tone, the refined emerald cut, the unheated nature, and the natural clarity of this 2.07 carat sapphire all come together to create an heirloom piece that is both wearable now and meaningful for the decades ahead. With modest care, periodic professional inspection, and a setting that protects the girdle and pavilion while allowing light to enliven the stone, this sapphire can be the centerpiece of celebrations and quiet family rituals, a quiet constant that links generations through one exceptional gem.
