2.17 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent pear shape blue sapphire weighs 2.17 carats and measures 10.62 x 7.32 x 3.47 mm, presenting a balanced and elegant silhouette for both rings and pendants. The stone is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that combines step facets and brilliant facets to maximize both depth of color and scintillation. Clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the excellent polish enhances light return across the table and crown. Color intensity is described as intense, delivering a rich Ceylon blue that shows both vivid saturation and a pleasing medium deep tone. The sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves clarity and color while preserving the character of the natural material. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a well regarded source for sapphires known for lively blue hues with a slightly velvety overtone, and this combination of weight, cut, color and finish makes the piece especially attractive to an educated buyer seeking a classic yet lively blue sapphire. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem with full attention to proportions and finish, offering a stone that reads as substantial on the finger while retaining refined optical performance.

For custom jewellery the pear silhouette lends itself to several complementary gemstone combinations and settings that will emphasize the sapphire while maintaining balance and wearability. For maximum contrast and brilliance consider a halo of small, high quality white diamonds set in platinum or 18 carat white gold, the bright white of the diamonds will accent the intense blue and the mixed brilliant cut will interact pleasingly with diamond scintillation. For a warmer, vintage inspired look pair the sapphire with small rose cut or bead set yellow or champagne diamonds in 18 carat yellow gold, the warm metal will deepen the blue and create a rich, antique feeling. For strong color contrast and a vivid palette, consider flanking the pear with small emeralds or tsavorite garnets in calibrated step cuts, or use small white sapphires or colorless spinel for durably bright side stones. As a pendant the point can be oriented up for a classic drop, or down for a teardrop effect, and a three stone design with tapered baguettes along the shoulders will visually elongate the finger. For bespoke design advice and precise matching of proportions and side stone sizes The Natural Sapphire Company can provide CAD previews and hand selection of matching gemstones to ensure the finished piece reads as a coherent and enduring statement.
