2.21 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

This exquisite, GRS certified vivid blue Royal Blue sapphire is a rare and compelling example of nature and masterful cutting coming together, a stone that only a discerning few will have the privilege to own. Weighing 2.21 carat, this transparent sapphire is cut in an asscher octagon shape with precise dimensions of 7.65 x 7.52 x 4.35 mm, and it bears an asscher cut that emphasizes symmetry and stepped faceting. Its clarity is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which for practical wear translates into an eye clean appearance that allows the gem to present its intense hue without visible distractions. The stone shows vivid color intensity with an exceptional polish and, crucially, it is untreated, with no enhancement, an attribute that elevates its rarity and provenance, and one that is confirmed by its Burmese origin, Myanmar, recorded on the GRS certificate. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate only the most exceptional natural stones, and an untreated, vivid blue sapphire of Burmese origin and asscher cutting is a jewel that belongs in the hands of someone who understands value, legacy, and true rarity.

Visually this sapphire is mesmerizing, the asscher cut creating a refined play of light that reads as both deep and brilliant, a hall of mirrors effect that pulls the viewer into layers of saturated blue. The step facets create broad flashes of velvety color across the table and crown facets, while the well proportioned pavilion returns that color with depth and presence, resulting in a gem that appears rich and alive even under indoor lighting. The asscher octagon shape gives a modern and architectural silhouette that remains timeless when set, and the generous table paired with the excellent polish allows clean, crisp facet reflections that are ideal for those who admire precise craftsmanship. On the hand the 7.65 mm dimensions offer a strong visual impact without overpowering, a size that is comfortable for daily wear yet definite in statement, and the stone photographs beautifully, showing a true, vivid blue that is unmistakably Royal Blue.

For a custom piece, the possibilities are refined and distinctive, designed to celebrate this sapphire as the singular focus or to create an elevated ensemble that deepens its exclusivity. For the purest contrast and an iconic look, a platinum setting with a fine halo of high color, eye clean diamonds will elevate the sapphire, allowing the vivid blue to read as regal and sharply defined, while tapered baguette diamonds on the shoulders will accentuate the asscher geometry and elongate the finger. For those who prefer warmth and an heirloom aesthetic, an 18 carat yellow gold mounting sets the blue with golden contrast that enriches the tone and introduces vintage appeal, and a rose gold option softens the look for a romantic, feminine presence. Consider a bezel set option for modern resilience with a subtle metal rim that frames the octagon outline, or a low profile four prong setting that allows maximum light entry to further emphasize the sapphire’s vivid saturation. If a three stone design is preferred, choose angular step cut side stones such as emerald cut sapphires or baguette diamonds to harmonize with the asscher steps, and select slightly lighter or colorless side stones to maintain focus upon the central Royal Blue.

Beyond diamonds and metal choices, pairing this Burmese sapphire with complementary colored gems can produce a bespoke signature piece that feels utterly exclusive. A thin halo or side accents of tiny white diamonds will create a luminous contrast, while small yellow sapphires placed as graduated melee on the band will introduce a warm counterpoint that enhances the blue without overwhelming it. For collectors seeking striking contrast, pairing with orange or padparadscha sapphires at the shoulders will produce a vibrant complementary palette, recalling royal trappings yet remaining entirely modern in execution. For a unique pendant set, a minimalist platinum or 18 carat white gold bezel will allow the asscher facets to command attention, and a delicate diamond pavé bail can elevate light return so the gem shimmers against the neckline. Each of these design directions highlights a different nuance of the stone, from its velvety depth to its crisp facet reflections, and at The Natural Sapphire Company our bench of master jewellers will provide detailed sketches, CAD renderings, and metal and stone samples so that your piece is as singular as the gem itself.
