2.16 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, under skies kissed by tropical breezes and brushed by the whisper of coconut palms, a hidden treasure lay nestled amidst layers of the earth. This coveted gem, a blue sapphire of extraordinary splendor, began its journey far from the hands that would soon uncover it. Skilled miners, trained through generations to recognize destiny within rock, unearthed this marvel deep beneath the verdant hills of Ceylon. Caught in a dance of native sunlight and ancient wizardry, the sapphire waited patiently to be shaped into something both timeless and breathtaking. The Natural Sapphire Company takes pride in escorting this gem on its voyage from nature's cradle to crafted magnificence, never wavering in our dedication to authenticity, ethical sourcing, and unparalleled craftsmanship.

The sapphire, spanning a breathtaking 2.16 carats, was found in its raw form, a testament to Earth's eternal capacity for beauty. Transforming this natural grace into a masterpiece required the cunning artistry of a cut designed to accentuate every whisper of color and every flicker of light. Here enters the exquisite mixed brilliant cut, skillfully sliced into oval symmetry by master gem cutters who esteemed not only tradition but innovation. This cut, famed for its ability to enhance luminous sparkle, plays tenderly with the sapphire’s intense color intensity, throwing beams that dance with joyous life at every turn. Defined by dimensions of 7.93 x 6.26 x 4.93 mm, the gem seems to transcend its own physicality, each facet chiseled not only for form but for the celestial mission of amplifying brilliance and transparency.

Under such meticulous attention and an excellent polish, the sapphire’s slightly included nature turns from a mere characteristic to a narrative brushstroke in its story — a gentle reminder of authenticity unearthed from glorious wilderness. The light of room and sky alike becomes partners in a staged ballet, conjuring vistas within the gem’s heart. Each time it catches light or shadow, it relays tales of its geographical roots, conjuring shades so vivid they echo memories of ocean beds beneath cerulean skies. For those who clasp this sapphire, they hold not just an ornament but a dialogue with a far-off land, a bridge between Earth’s bounty and human artistry. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we invite you to be part of this enduring journey, to welcome this gema of Sri Lanka’s splendor into your story where it shall continue its eternal dance of light and legacy.
