2.23 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Owning this exquisite pear shaped blue sapphire is an invitation to join a very small circle of connoisseurs who understand true rarity, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a stone whose presence is as commanding as its provenance. This is not a gem you will see every day, it is a singular example of nature and masterful craftsmanship combined, a 2.23 carat pear shape sapphire that radiates a deep and vivid blue that captures the eye and holds attention. The moment you encounter it, you sense its exclusivity, its potential to be the centerpiece of a bespoke engagement ring or a statement pendant that only a discerning owner could commission. Each angle reveals facets of personality and depth, and because stones of this quality and origin rarely come to market, owning this piece is an act of selection from a curated set of treasures.

The sapphire measures 9.59 by 6.62 by 4.78 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut is deliberately chosen to marry the best of classical elegance with modern light performance, creating a sparkle that is unmatched by many other gems. The mixed brilliant design uses a fine arrangement of triangular and kite shaped facets on the crown and a complementary pavilion facet architecture that directs light into a concentrated return, resulting in intense scintillation and a dynamic play between flashes of deep royal blue and electric cornflower tones. The pear silhouette elongates the visual field, enhancing the gem brightness along the length of the stone, while the expertly executed pavilion facets act as a light engine, channeling incoming rays back to the viewer with an extraordinary sense of depth. This stone is transparent with vivid color intensity, and its very slightly included clarity when evaluated at eye level ensures that the color remains pure and uninterrupted, while the excellent polish amplifies surface brilliance and crisp facet junctions, producing mirror like reflections that shimmer with each movement.

This sapphire hails from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a storied source renowned for producing sapphires with luminous saturation and a clarity of tone that collectors prize, and it has been skillfully heat treated to enhance its innate color while preserving the stone’s natural character. Heat treatment in responsible hands is a time honored method of elevating the beauty of a sapphire without compromising its integrity, and here it results in an even and vivid saturation that draws the eye inward. The subtle internal features that place the clarity at very slightly included when viewed at eye level are testament to its natural origin, providing a fingerprint of authenticity that seasoned gem lovers find reassuring. The combination of Ceylon origin, mixed brilliant cutting, and meticulous polishing yields a brilliance that is more than optical effect, it is an expression of provenance, technique, and rarity aligned in one remarkable gem.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate and present sapphires for clients who expect more than beauty, they expect distinction, and this pear shaped 2.23 carat blue sapphire meets that expectation with authority. It is ideally suited for a custom commission where the setting will accentuate the teardrop silhouette and optimize light entry through a shallow bezel or an open pavilion mounting, ensuring that the mixed brilliant facet pattern performs to its fullest.
