2.25 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine giving a jewel that feels like a promise kept, a memory that grows more beautiful with every shared moment. This transparent 2.25 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka invites that kind of joy, measuring 9.15 by 6.63 by 4.27 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances vibrant sparkle with deep, velvety color. With a clarity graded slightly included at eye level, the gem tells a story of natural formation, and because it is unenhanced, every flash of blue is the stone itself, not a human alteration. The dark color intensity gives this sapphire a noble presence, while an excellent polish lets each facet catch the light and return it as lively, soulful reflections. At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish stones that hold emotion and history, and this sapphire is a perfect example of a treasure that becomes part of your life story.

When comparing its reflective qualities to other gemstones in its category, this Ceylon piece stands apart in how it balances brilliance and depth. Thanks to its mixed brilliant cut and high polish, it returns light with a scintillating pulse that sits between the crisp sparkle of higher refractive stones and the soft glow of more mellow blues. Compared with lighter cornflower tones from other Sri Lankan or Kashmiri sapphires, this dark Ceylon sapphire offers richer, more dramatic flashes rather than airy brightness, creating an intimate glow that feels luxurious and enduring. Against blue spinel and tanzanite, which can show a more overt sparkle or a pronounced trichroic play, this sapphire gives a steadier, deeper shine because of sapphire crystal structure and its higher refractive potential. Compared with blue topaz, which tends to be brighter but flatter in its reflections, this natural sapphire rewards careful viewing with layered reflections that change with every tilt, making it ideal for a ring or pendant that will be admired up close and remembered forever. If you seek a gem that speaks of devotion and timeless elegance, this unenhanced Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company will not only reflect light, it will reflect the heart.
