2.23 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 2.23 carat oval shape blue sapphire is presented here by The Natural Sapphire Company, weighing 2.23 carats, and measuring seven point nine five by five point nine seven by five point one seven millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut that balances table brilliance and pavilion fire. The gem displays intense color intensity with a vivid, classic Ceylon blue that leans toward a lively medium to medium deep tone, a hue that collectors and connoisseurs prize for its versatility and presence. Clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning small natural inclusions are visible under direct scrutiny but do not materially detract from the gems overall transparency or its faceted sparkle. The piece has an excellent polish, a finish that enhances light return across the crown and facets, and has been heat treated, the standard enhancement widely accepted in trade to improve tone and clarity while preserving natural origin characteristics. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for sapphires with a luminous, satiny quality and a historically documented supply chain that appeals to buyers seeking provenance.

For the educated buyer this sapphire represents a well balanced combination of weight, color intensity, and cut quality, attributes that make it an exceptional addition to a high end gemstone collection. At 2.23 carats the stone is large enough to serve as a significant center gem in a bespoke ring or pendant, while the oval outline and mixed brilliant faceting optimize apparent size and deliver lively scintillation under varied lighting conditions. Slight inclusions are beneficial from a connoisseurs perspective, as they confirm natural origin and often act as identifiers for future certification and appraisal, and the Ceylon origin adds collectible value due to that regions reputation for saturated yet bright blues. Heat treatment is disclosed and consistent with industry practice, and because the stone is transparent with excellent polish, its market liquidity and desirability remain strong. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem with detailed documentation and can assist with grading reports, bespoke mounting options, and secure delivery, making this blue sapphire an excellent choice for collectors seeking a refined, well provenanced, and visually compelling addition to a high end gemstone collection.
