2.10 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One transparent oval blue sapphire weighing 2.10 carats measures 8.20 x 6.21 x 4.81 mm, and presents a classic yet lively presence that suits both traditional and contemporary settings. The stone has a mixed brilliant cut that balances table and pavilion facet arrangements to deliver a refined return of light, and the cutting style preserves the oval outline with well defined symmetry. Clarity has been evaluated at very slightly included at eye level, allowing the gem to maintain luminous transparency and visual depth while retaining natural character. Color is described as vivid in intensity, a saturated blue that reads as rich royal to cornflower blue under differing lighting, and polish is excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and a smooth luster across the crown and girdle. This sapphire is heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that improves tone and uniformity, and its documented origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with saturated, clean blue hues and bright lively character.

Optical performance reflects the effect of the mixed brilliant cut combined with the sapphire s clarity and color. The arrangement of crown facets over a well proportioned pavilion creates strong scintillation when the gem is viewed in motion, while the oval silhouette enables a broad window of color across the table. Facet geometry produces distinct flash and a pleasing balance between brightness and color saturation, so the stone appears animated in daylight as well as under controlled interior lighting. The very slightly included clarity grade means inclusions do not detract from the gem s overall appearance at normal viewing distance, and they can act as natural fingerprints that confirm the stone s identity. The depth and pavilion design contribute to even color distribution, minimizing dark zones, and the excellent polish enhances surface reflectivity which complements the vivid blue, making the stone read as consistently saturated and lively from multiple angles.

When considered for a custom piece, this sapphire adapts well to a range of design approaches depending on the desired aesthetic and the choice of complementary gemstones and metals. For a high contrast, classic look select white diamonds as a halo or as tapered side stones, which will accentuate the sapphire s blue saturation and increase perceived brilliance. For a warmer, more vintage expression choose yellow gold, which introduces a subtle warmth that can make the blue appear deeper and more velvety, or select rose gold for a soft, romantic contrast. For a tonal palette use lighter blue sapphires or aquamarines as accent stones to create a layered blue composition that highlights variations in hue and clarity. For a bold color dialogue consider pairing with green tsavorite garnets for a lively complementary contrast, or with orange pink padparadscha sapphires for an energetic warm cool interplay that brings out different facets of the central stone s color. Regarding setting styles, the gem s oval shape and mixed brilliant cut are well suited to three stone rings, halo rings, and pendants with a low to moderate bezel or prong setting that preserves visibility and light access. For secure daily wear choose a four or six prong mount in a durable metal such as platinum, or use a protective bezel when prioritizing physical protection. The Natural Sapphire Company can provide guidance on metal selection, complementary stones, and setting style to achieve the intended visual and practical outcomes, and a custom design approach will ensure the sapphire s vivid color, excellent polish, and Ceylon provenance are showcased in a balanced, enduring piece.
