2.49 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This cushion shape blue sapphire of 2.49 carat carries with it the same quiet authority that has marked the great gems of history, a jewel that speaks of royal treasuries and ancient trade routes. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this gem has the luminous, velvety blue that made Ceylon sapphires legendary, a vivid color intensity that evokes the deep sea blues admired in the Logan Sapphire and the imperial tones seen in famous museum pieces. Measuring 8.52 by 7.00 by 4.51 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style and polished to an excellent finish, this stone returns light with a lively yet refined scintillation, a balance reminiscent of the polished grandeur of the Star of India, while remaining distinctly modern in its precision. The clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which preserves the gem's natural character and lends authenticity to its story, much as the natural inclusions in historical gems remind us of their passage through time.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we prize stones that combine provenance, artistry, and wearability, and this sapphire is a perfect example. Heat treated to enhance its innate color, the gem retains a transparency and depth that set it apart from more common commercial material, making it an ideal centerpiece for a ring that will be worn and treasured for generations. Its cushion shape is timeless, a form that has graced royal settings for centuries, while the mixed brilliant cut adds modern brilliance and durability. The result is a gem that bridges eras, offering the narrative weight of an heirloom with the technical beauty of contemporary cutting. For those who seek a sapphire with a storied lineage in both appearance and origin, and who appreciate the subtle evidence of nature that comes with very slightly included clarity, this Ceylon sapphire is a rare opportunity. Allow us at The Natural Sapphire Company to guide you in honoring its history and setting it in a design that will become part of your family legacy.
