2.27 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite, transparent blue sapphire weighs 2.27 carats and is presented in an elegant oval shape, measuring 9.22 by 7.21 by 3.63 millimeters, a proportion that flatters both classic and contemporary settings. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the pavilion facets catch and return light with modern fire, while the excellent polish amplifies its silky surface. The gem displays a medium color intensity, a refined blue that lives between serene cornflower and stately royal tones, shifting with every turn to reveal depth and life. Clarity has been graded as very very slightly included at eye level, a testament to the clean, transparent character of the stone and to the discerning eye of our gemmological team. This sapphire is heat treated, a responsible and time honoured enhancement that refines color and clarity in Sri Lankan sapphires, and its origin from Ceylon lends it a provenance steeped in legendary quality. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this stone as a study in restraint and elegance, a jewel that reads as effortlessly wearable yet distinctly collectible.

Owning a sapphire from Ceylon is to embrace a heritage that reaches back through centuries of royal treasuries, sacred rites, and the private collections of those who valued beauty as a sign of cultivated identity. Ceylon sapphires have been cherished as talismans against misfortune, symbols of wisdom and devotion, and centrepieces in coronation jewels, and this oval 2.27 carat example carries that lineage into the present with discreet modernity. The stone’s measured proportions and mixed brilliant cut make it an ideal centre for an engagement ring, a refined pendant, or a bespoke commission, allowing an artisan to set it in designs that honour tradition while delighting contemporary sensibilities. Heat treatment, practised for centuries and now performed under strict controls, enhances the sapphire without compromising its integrity, ensuring the rich blue will remain a lasting emblem of taste. For the connoisseur who seeks an object of enduring beauty that also signifies achievement, this Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company answers that aspiration with poise and pedigree.
