Measured precisely at 2.41 carats, this round sapphire spans 7.71 by 7.75 by 4.74 millimeters, a size that makes a definitive statement without overwhelming the wearer. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to reveal the gems inner fire, balancing scintillation and depth so that every turn of the hand reveals new facets of color and life. The stone is transparent, and its clarity has been assessed as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a grade that affirms the gems natural origin and allows light to travel through the crystal with remarkable freedom. With vivid color intensity and an excellent polish the surface plays with light in a way that feels both vibrant and sophisticated. The result is a sapphire that commands attention in any setting, whether mounted as a single, bold solitaire or framed by accent stones to amplify its noble hue.

The origin of this sapphire is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a place whose gem lore is woven into the fabric of history. Ceylon sapphires are treasured for their pure and lively blues, a color that is at once cool and radiant, evoking sea and sky in equal measure. Traditionally, heat treatment has been used to refine the innate potential of these stones, and this sapphire has been carefully heat treated, a practice that is transparent to collectors and widely accepted within the trade. This enhancement intensifies the stone s natural color while preserving its integrity and longevity, ensuring that the deep blue will remain steadfast over time. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select each gem with an eye toward provenance and beauty, honoring the methods that bring out the best in the material while maintaining respect for the gem s story.
