2.11 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This loose gemstone is a transparent 2.11 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, measuring 7.71 x 7.25 x 3.89 mm, cut as a mixed brilliant to balance strong light return with a broad color face. The stone exhibits vivid color intensity and an excellent polish, presenting deep, saturated blue tones that remain lively across the table and crown. Clarity has been evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, which yields a clean visual appearance in typical jewelry settings, and the sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and industry-standard enhancement. The origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with rich blue character, and this piece is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company.

This sapphire’s cushion outline and mixed brilliant faceting make it suitable for a wide range of custom designs. As a solitaire center for an engagement ring, the cushion profile reads classically while the mixed brilliant facets provide scintillation that complements both white and yellow metals. The dimensions allow for comfortable adaptation into four-prong or double-prong heads, and a low-profile bezel setting will protect the slightly rounded corners for daily wear without obscuring the stone’s vivid color. A halo of fine accent diamonds will enhance perceived size and increase light play, while a pavé or bead-set shank can add refined sparkle without competing with the sapphire’s natural depth. For a more contemporary aesthetic, the stone adapts well to tension or east-west settings, and for statement pieces it can be mounted in a cluster or three-stone configuration with trapezoid or baguette side stones to emphasize width and presence.

Beyond rings, the 7.71 x 7.25 x 3.89 mm proportions are well suited to pendants and single-drop earrings where the cushion shape offers a flattering silhouette against the neckline and ear. In bespoke pieces, metal choice and setting style will influence perceived color, so open galleries and thoughtful bezel thickness are useful tools to control light and protect the stone while maintaining clarity visibility. Because the sapphire is heat treated and shows very very slight inclusions only at eye level, it performs well in open settings that maximize brilliance as well as in protective designs intended for everyday wear. For tailored design options and mounting suggestions that consider metal, accent stones, and practical wearability, The Natural Sapphire Company can provide technical guidance and CAD mockups to ensure the setting complements the gem’s proportions and optical characteristics.
