2.43 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.43 carat oval blue sapphire presents precise dimensions of 8.88 by 7.15 by 5.05 millimeters, and has been cut as a mixed brilliant to maximize both face up brilliance and depth of color. The cutter employed a brilliant facet arrangement across the crown combined with a modified pavilion faceting schema that integrates step style facets, producing a lively interplay of scintillation and flash when viewed under point light. The overall depth measures approximately 63 percent relative to the average diameter, a proportion that supports strong light return and a distinct focal window of vivid blue. Clarity is graded as slightly included at eye level, with minor internal characteristics that confirm natural formation while leaving the stone essentially transparent and unobstructed to the naked eye. Color intensity is described as intense, carrying a saturated Ceylon blue that exhibits balanced tone and chroma characteristic of Sri Lankan material. The finish is exceptional, with an excellent polish and careful symmetry on the girdle and culet that allow clean facet junctions and consistent facet reflections. Enhancement status is none, this sapphire is unheated and natural, and the documented origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka.

As a gift this sapphire offers both technical excellence and emotive presence, it combines natural rarity with wearer durability and design flexibility. Corundum hardness of nine on the Mohs scale ensures suitability for daily wear in rings, lockets, or bespoke settings, while the mixed brilliant faceting produces a lively personality that reads both under artificial lighting and daylight. The slightly included clarity underscores authenticity to gem connoisseurs, and the unheated provenance from Ceylon augments the gem s collectible value and appeal as an heirloom. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire becomes a striking and considered gift for an anniversary, engagement, or milestone celebration, offering a rare combination of intense color, refined cutting, and natural integrity.
