2.10 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent bluish green sapphire, weighing 2.10 carats, presents an asscher octagon silhouette with precise measurements of 7.04 x 6.95 x 4.25 mm. The cutting style is faceted, executed in a classic asscher cut that emphasizes symmetry and stepped facets. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, reflecting an exceptional level of transparency and minimal internal characteristics. Color intensity is described as intense, and the stone carries an excellent polish. No enhancement has been applied, and the sapphire is documented as originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka. The Natural Sapphire Company provides this description to capture the gemogical specifics and to support design and setting decisions.

The sapphire’s bluish green tone is notable for its vivid saturation and balanced distribution of color across the table and pavilion, qualities that ensure the stone will stand out in any jewelry setting. The asscher cut, with its concentric step facets and octagonal outline, produces a sophisticated interplay of light and shadow that differs from the scintillation of brilliant cuts. This stepped geometry creates a hall of mirrors effect, allowing the intense bluish green hue to present as deep and immersive in larger facets, while also displaying crisp flashes of lighter tones along facet edges. In settings that emphasize the stone as the focal point, such as a solitaire or three stone ring, the color projects strongly and consistently. When paired with accent diamonds or colored gemstones, the sapphire’s intense hue provides a clear and attractive contrast, whether set in white metals that make the color read cooler, or in yellow and rose tones that warm the green component and enrich the overall appearance.

The combination of very very slightly included clarity and excellent polish contributes to clean light transmission and restrained pinpoint reflections, allowing the intrinsic color to remain the dominant visual attribute. The absence of enhancement confirms the sapphire’s natural color chemistry, which is often associated with the classic tones for which Ceylon Sri Lanka is known. The natural origin also suggests the potential for a balance between saturation and brilliance that collectors and designers value. Corundum’s inherent durability, with a Mohs hardness of nine, makes this sapphire well suited to everyday wear when properly set, and the asscher octagon proportions offer a stable geometry for secure prong, bezel, or hybrid mountings. Attention to corner protection and prong placement will preserve the stone’s faceted edges and maintain its polished pavilion performance.

For practical design considerations, the 7.04 x 6.95 x 4.25 mm dimensions provide a commanding presence on a range of finger sizes while remaining versatile for pendants and statement earrings. The slightly rectangular octagon profile reads cleanly in straight edged bezel settings and aligns neatly with multi stone compositions, while prong settings allow maximum table visibility and light access to enhance the stone’s intense visual impact. Pairing options include single row halos of small diamonds that accentuate the asscher’s step facets, channel set bands that offer linear continuity, or custom open gallery designs that permit light return and highlight the sapphire’s natural transparency. The Natural Sapphire Company notes that the intact, natural character of this sapphire, combined with its refined cut and finish, makes it an excellent candidate for a centerpiece that is both visually arresting and technically suitable for long term wear. For professional jewelers and clients planning a bespoke piece, these specifications support accurate setting choices and underscore how the sapphire’s vibrant color will remain the defining quality in any finished jewelry setting.
