2.11 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This beautiful transparent Other certified Blue Intense Cornflower sapphire, weighing 2.11 carats, occupies a sweet spot in the market where visual impact meets premium rarity. At just over two carats this round shape gem reads as substantial on the finger while remaining classic and versatile for a wide range of settings. Many sapphires under two carats can appear less significant once set, and many stones over three carats often require compromises in color or clarity to reach that size. This 2.11 carat example delivers a rare combination of meaningful size and top tier color intensity, making it immediately comparable to and often superior in perceived value to both smaller, more common stones and larger, less saturated roughs. The Natural Sapphire Company sources and presents this sapphire with the confidence that comes from experience, and the weight is an honest, market competitive hallmark of premium quality, not simply a number to justify a price tag.

Color is the single most important attribute in a blue sapphire, and this stone displays vivid intensity in the classic cornflower blue associated with the finest Ceylon material. Origins matter when color and tone are being evaluated, and this sapphire comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source historically prized for its clean, bright mid to strong blue hues that sit between the deeper royal tones of some other localities and the lighter pastel blues found elsewhere. Compared to common commercial blue sapphires that can lean gray or overly dark, this intense cornflower tone offers a lively, saturated blue that is immediately noticeable, without veering into overly dark or overly greenish territory. The certification that accompanies this gem confirms its identity and treatment, and the listed enhancement status of heat treated reflects a widely accepted, stable practice that improves color while preserving natural origin and crystal integrity, a preferable trade off to wholesale dyeing or filling seen in lower tier stones.

Cut quality and finish determine how a sapphire uses its carat weight to project beauty and brilliance, and this round mixed brilliant cut maximizes the optical performance of the 2.11 carats. With dimensions of 7.59 by 7.66 by 4.57 mm the proportions present a balanced profile for both bezel and prong settings, allowing the gem to sit with presence and comfort. The mixed brilliant cut blends the sparkle advantages of brilliant facets with the depth retention of a modified pavilion, and the excellent polish enhances face up brightness and sparkle across the table and crown facets. Clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a common and acceptable clarity for natural sapphires that often contain minute inclusions invisible to most wearers, and these minor features do not detract from the intense cornflower color or the lively performance achieved through the cutter s skill. Compared to eye clean but poorly cut stones that appear lifeless, this sapphire demonstrates how superior cutting and polish convert carat weight into visual impact and long term desirability.

When considering overall value this 2.11 carat intense cornflower sapphire stands out against other market options for several reasons, and The Natural Sapphire Company is positioned to help you understand and capitalize on those differences.

Versus lab grown alternatives, this natural Ceylon origin stone carries provenance and the nuanced color subtleties that collectors and fine jewelry buyers prize. The heat treatment is a positive variable in terms of stable color enhancement, and the accompanying certification protects value and confirms the stone s attributes.
