2.30 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet poetry in a stone that remembers the ocean and the moon, a 2.30 carat oval blue sapphire that seems to have caught a fragment of twilight within its heart. This gem, measuring 9.01 by 6.68 by 4.54 mm, has been cut into a mixed brilliant form that invites light to dance and linger, its excellent polish creating windows into a cool, vibrant depth. Transparent and honest, with a clarity graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, it carries only the gentle fingerprints of nature, proof that no enhancement has altered its original voice. Born in the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, its medium intense color holds a serene balance between azure and cornflower, a hue that talks of warm evenings and whispered promises.

When set in jewelry this sapphire becomes a companion to skin, responding like water to the landscape it rests upon. On fair skin the stone appears as a clear, celestial note, the medium intensity lifting into a luminous, almost icy blue that contrasts beautifully with porcelain tones. On medium and warm complexions the Ceylon blue warms subtly, the stone taking on a rich cornflower glow that harmonizes with golden undertones, especially in a yellow gold or mixed metal setting. On olive skin the sapphire deepens, a noble, sea glass hue that emphasizes the warmth beneath, while on deeper skin tones it transforms into a royal beacon, the medium intense color flashing like starlight against rich shadows, particularly magnificent when surrounded by a halo or set in platinum to accentuate clarity and brightness. The mixed brilliant cut ensures scintillation from every angle, so the gem remains alive with motion whether set on a ring a pendant or a delicate pair of studs.

As a jeweler at The Natural Sapphire Company I see this stone as more than a jewel, it is a promise poised to be made tangible. It pairs effortlessly with rose gold for a romantic vintage air, with yellow gold for sunlit opulence, and with white metals for modern timelessness, making it a perfect choice for an engagement ring or a personal talisman. No enhancement and an excellent polish mean the charm you see is the charm you will keep, a sapphire that will keep telling its story as it catches each day and every glance.
