2.33 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a sapphire that ends the quest for a rare, wearable and unforgettable center stone, this 2.33 carat, emerald cut blue sapphire from Ceylon is exactly what you have been looking for. The Natural Sapphire Company presents a transparent, intensely colored gem with dimensions of 8.17 x 6.14 x 4.50 mm, an emerald cut that emphasizes clean lines, an excellent polish that sharpens every facet, and a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. This sapphire has received no enhancement, which means you are seeing its innate color and character as formed in Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for producing the pure, velvety blues collectors and couples prize. If your aim is a timeless engagement ring, a bespoke pendant, or a standout museum quality piece, this stone answers that need with both presence and pedigree.

The way this sapphire responds to light is one of its most compelling features, and the emerald cut plays a central role in that performance. In bright daylight, the open table and well proportioned step facets deliver a deep, saturated blue with flashes of lighter cornflower tones across the facet planes, creating a calm and confident color that reads richly from every angle. Under direct sun the gem displays lively contrast between the intense blue of the pavilion and the brighter flashes along the crown, producing a lively, three dimensional appearance without losing the elegant, velvety character of Ceylon blue. In warm incandescent and candlelight, the tone warms slightly, revealing a softer, richer blue that leans toward a near royal hue, and in cool LED and fluorescent settings the stone presents a crisp, electric blue that highlights the clarity and the precision of the cut. Because of the step cut, this sapphire favors flashes and broad color facets rather than the pinpoint scintillation of brilliant cuts, and that hall of mirrors effect gives it an architectural beauty that reads as both classic and modern. You may notice slight pleochroic tendencies as you change viewing angles, which is a natural and desirable characteristic in fine Ceylon sapphires, adding depth and life to the color.

For the customer who wants a stone that performs across styles and settings, this sapphire is remarkably versatile. The emerald cut is especially flattering as a solitaire for someone who prefers clean geometry, and the stone also makes a spectacular centerpiece in a halo setting where smaller diamonds will amplify the sapphire’s vivid color without masking its natural charm. For collectors seeking a natural, untreated example from a storied origin, this gem’s lack of enhancement is a decisive advantage, and for an engagement ring wearer who wants durability, sapphire rates a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale which makes it well suited to daily wear. Because the stone is visually open at the table, its very slightly included clarity means the gem reads as clean to the eye, offering the visual purity that step cuts tend to showcase, while still retaining the character that natural sapphires possess. Consider warm yellow gold to enrich the blue, white metals to create a crisp contemporary contrast, or a two tone design to balance both. The dimensions of 8.17 x 6.14 x 4.50 mm give it an elegant profile on the finger or in a pendant, substantial enough to command attention while remaining refined and wearable.
