2.10 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This oval greenish blue sapphire from Ceylon is precisely specified for discerning applications, weighing 2.10 carats, with dimensions of 8.27 by 6.92 by 4.25 millimeters. The gem is transparent, exhibiting an intense color intensity that reads as a deep, vibrant teal in balanced lighting conditions. It has been fashioned to a mixed brilliant cut, a facet arrangement that combines a faceted crown optimized for scintillation with pavilion geometry that promotes controlled light return. The clarity has been assessed as very very slightly included at eye level, indicating exceptional transparency to the unaided eye, and the polish has been judged excellent, producing crisp facet junctions and sharp reflections. This sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement for Sri Lankan material, and its origin in Ceylon is consistent with the fine tone and saturation typical of that locality. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone with full specification to assist in design and valuation work.

The gem’s size and clarity together define its suitability as a statement piece, with the 2.10 carat weight and the 8.27 by 6.92 millimeter spread offering a visually prominent surface area without the disproportionate depth that can mute color. The 4.25 millimeter depth delivers sufficient pavilion volume to support strong light performance, while the mixed brilliant cut channels that performance into lively scintillation and broad flashes of color. Eye level clarity at a very very slightly included grade means the stone reads as clean in typical viewing, permitting the intense greenish blue color to be the dominant visual effect rather than internal features. For a solitaire ring, the stone will read as a bold but elegant presence on the finger, and when set as a central element in a halo or three stone composition, its intrinsic clarity will allow surrounding diamonds or colored gems to interact with minimal visual interference. The combined effect of generous spread and near flawless visual clarity makes this sapphire particularly effective at conveying both color depth and surface brilliance, attributes that are essential to a piece intended to capture attention.

Practical considerations for mounting this Ceylon sapphire include setting choices that enhance the face up dimensions and preserve the stone’s polish. A four or six prong mounting will expose the gem to light and emphasize the mixed brilliant cut, a bezel will protect the girdle while providing a contemporary aesthetic, and a low profile setting will keep the visual center of gravity close to the hand for comfort. Platinum and 18 carat yellow or rose gold will each interact differently with the greenish blue tone, with platinum emphasizing cool contrast and warm gold encouraging a richer, warmer interplay with the stone’s hue. Heat treatment is disclosed for stability and routine care requirements are consistent with any sapphire, with normal precautions advised against strong mechanical impacts and prolonged exposure to aggressive chemicals. Documentation of origin and treatment history is available, and The Natural Sapphire Company can provide guidance on certification and custom mounting options to ensure the final piece reflects the sapphire’s statement potential, its precise dimensions, and the clarity that defines its visual character.
