2.20 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A blue like a memory of the sea at dawn, this transparent 2.20 carat oval sapphire floats as if captured from a sleepy horizon. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem with a heart shaped by time, an oval form that is both classic and quietly modern, measuring 8.47 by 6.94 by 4.77 millimeters so it sits with a poised presence on the hand. Its medium intense color intensity carries a gentle depth, a chorus of cornflower and soft indigo that changes its song with the light. From Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire brings the storied soils of an ancient isle into the intimate circle of everyday ritual, a mineral legacy that has passed through earth and river to emerge unenhanced, natural and honest. The transparency allows light to travel through like a small sun, and the stone asks only to be noticed, and to reflect the affection within every gaze.

The mixed brilliant cut gives each facet a role in the dance, the crown and pavilion working together to balance sparkle with inner glow. An excellent polish ensures that each plane is a mirror to memory, smooth and reflective beneath a careful hand. At 2.20 carats the gem is large enough to command attention, yet refined enough to sit comfortably in an engagement setting, a promise that is both bold and tender. No enhancement means that the color you see is color that nature composed, not something coaxed by human fire. This truth is part of the romance, and it is why collectors and lovers of natural beauty find this stone compelling. Imagine the sapphire set in a simple bezel or an eloquent halo, catching sunlight on a summer walk, catching lamp light at a quiet dinner, catching your own eyes and holding them like a bright, blue secret.

Within its depths are the subtle features that make it singular, the small signatures that gemologists name inclusions, and that poets might call whispers. The clarity grade reads very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a notation that honors both clarity and the modest presence of internal character. These very slight traces might appear as pinpoints of light, slender needle like threads, or tiny mineral beads, each one a place in the stone where the earth pressed its hand and left a mark. Rather than marring the gem, these features act as unique identifiers, the sapphire equivalent of a fingerprint, a way to know this stone among many. They tell a geological memoir, a record of heat and pressure, of slow crystallization, of the patient work of time. To the wearer they provide quiet reassurance that this jewel is not a manufactured ideal, but a real fragment of the world, and to lovers they become metaphors for loyalty, imperfect and perfect at once. From the mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, through the careful eyes and hands at The Natural Sapphire Company, this 2.20 carat oval blue sapphire arrives as an invitation, to promise, to remember, to celebrate, a thing of blue light and small, honest marks that make it irrevocably yours.
