2.24 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine slipping a drop of the deep evening sky into a setting that was made to celebrate a milestone, a memory, a promise. This is one beautiful transparent 2.24 carat oval shape blue sapphire with dimensions of 8.26 x 7.25 x 4.35 mm, a gem that carries the pure, vivid blue that makes hearts skip a beat. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, this sapphire captures light with a lively dance of flashes and depth, while an excellent polish ensures every facet speaks with clarity. The clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level means the stone is essentially eye clean, allowing the vivid color intensity to take center stage. Heat treated enhancement is disclosed, a trusted and permanent process that enhances the rich Ceylon character of the stone, and the origin of this sapphire is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place synonymous with timeless blue sapphires that have been cherished for generations.

As a designer at The Natural Sapphire Company I can tell you why this particular size and shape make the stone ideal for custom jewelry, the 2.24 carat weight is substantial enough to feel important and meaningful, yet the measurements of 8.26 x 7.25 mm keep the stone beautifully wearable for daily life. The classic oval silhouette flatters the hand and the face, it adds an elegant elongation that makes rings look refined and necklaces appear graceful. With a depth of 4.35 mm the pavilion is balanced for secure prong settings, for low profile bezels, and for designs that include delicate halos, side stones, or intricate gallery work. The mixed brilliant cut offers both the depth of a faceted pavilion and the lively scintillation of brilliant facets, which is perfect when you want a center stone that reads large and luxurious in both daylight and evening light.

When I help clients create custom rings pendants or earrings around a sapphire like this, I love to suggest settings that highlight the oval form and vivid Ceylon blue. A four or six prong solitaire in platinum or 18 karat yellow gold showcases the stone as a confident standalone statement, the cool life of the blue against warm yellow gold creates a romantic, vintage feeling, while platinum gives a modern crispness. A delicate double halo of micro pave diamonds brings extra sparkle and a feeling of opulence without overwhelming the sapphire, while tapered baguette side stones provide a chic three stone look that reads like a story of past present and future. For a more contemporary voice, an east west setting or a slim bezel with open shoulders offers modern security and a sculptural look that suits active lifestyles. The stone size makes it adaptable to rings from size five to nine without overwhelming small hands, and as a pendant its 8.26 x 7.25 mm oval projects a presence that is both intimate and unmistakable.
