2.49 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

There are gemstones that merely catch the eye, and then there are stones that command a room. This Blue sapphire, GIA certified and offered exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company, belongs unmistakably to the latter category. At 2.49 carats and cut into an elegant oval with precise dimensions of 9.03 by 6.37 by 5.26 millimeters, it presents a harmonious balance between presence and poise, a gem that reads as both heirloom and achievement. Its mixed brilliant cut has been executed to accentuate depth and scintillation, while an excellent polish allows each facet to sing with the vivid blue that defines its character. The stone is transparent, with an intense color intensity that sits in a rare and resplendent space on the spectrum of blue sapphires, and the absence of any enhancement confirms the authenticity of its natural beauty. The clarity grade, recorded as very slightly included at eye level, speaks not to imperfection but to provenance, to the honest signature of nature preserved within this exceptional Burmese gem.

It is the internal map of this sapphire that grants it a truly singular identity, the signature that separates a fine gem from a masterpiece. Within the stone an array of delicate, natural inclusions threads through the pavilion and crown like a restrained constellation. Fine silky veils and whispering needles catch and scatter light in a manner that softens the blue into a velvety glow, producing flashes of azure and indigo as the stone moves. Minute pinpoint crystals and gentle, feathered patterns create tiny chambers of shadow and fire, lending the sapphire a sense of lived depth and three dimensionality that cannot be engineered. These features are the fingerprint of time and geological pressure, subtle but unmistakable, and they are arranged with a character so coherent that a connoisseur can sense the stone's origin in every glance. Rather than detract, these inclusions are the signature of an unadulterated, natural Burmese sapphire, proving that this is not a simulated brightness, but a cultivated radiance born of earth and patience.

When set, this oval sapphire will wear as an emblem of refinement and considered taste, an object that signals connoisseurship without ostentation. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes return of light while maintaining a strong face up color, and the proportions of 9.03 by 6.37 by 5.26 millimeters ensure that the gem reads as substantial on the finger while remaining elegantly proportioned for a wide range of settings. Because the stone is unenhanced and GIA certified, your investment is accompanied by provenance and scientific assurance, a rare pairing of emotional desirability and professional authentication. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that the discerning collector seeks not only beauty, but story and substance, and this sapphire offers all three in abundance. It is a gem that will not only accent an evening or punctuate a moment, but will become a signature piece, one that reflects the refined sensibility of its owner, and that will be admired for its singular internal landscape for generations to come.
