2.09 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent Other certified Blue sapphire weighs 2.09 carats, and is expertly fashioned into a pear shape measuring 9.06 by 8.37 by 3.64 millimeters, presenting an elegant balance between spread and depth. The cutter employed a mixed brilliant cut, combining a faceted crown optimized for scintillation with a pavilion that channels light back through the table, creating strong return and lively flash across the blue field. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning inclusions are minimal and do not materially interfere with light performance or faceting symmetry. Color intensity is classified as intense, exhibiting a clean, saturated Ceylon blue tone with a slightly violet leaning that is typical of fine Sri Lankan sapphires, and the polish has been finished to an excellent standard, yielding crisp facet junctions and a smooth table that maximizes brilliance. No enhancement has been applied to this stone, and its origin is certified as Ceylon Sri Lanka, which informs both its tonal character and its collector appeal.

From a durability perspective, this sapphire is a member of the corundum family and rates 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness. This places it second only to diamond, which rates 10, and significantly harder than common jewelry materials such as topaz, which is 8, and quartz, which is 7. A Mohs 9 rating indicates exceptional resistance to scratching from everyday wear, making this pear shape ideal for ring settings subject to frequent contact, as well as for pendants and earrings that benefit from high surface preservation. Care recommendations include routine inspection of mounting prongs to protect the pointed tip of the pear shape, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and avoidance of hard abrasives and rough impacts. The Natural Sapphire Company offers full gemological certification and can advise on optimal mounting to both showcase the mixed brilliant cut and protect the stone, ensuring long term beauty and stability. This sapphire will appeal to buyers who value technical precision in cut and provenance, combined with natural, untreated Ceylon color and robust, near top tier hardness.
