2.50 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.50 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon is a refined example of classic Sri Lankan material, with measurements of 8.24 x 6.44 x 5.65 mm and a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes light return while preserving weight and table size. The stone displays a medium intense blue, a color intensity that balances depth and versatility, and an excellent polish that enhances its surface brilliance and overall luster. Clarity has been graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the sapphire's beauty in typical mounted settings, while they do provide a natural fingerprint that supports origin verification. This sapphire is heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that improves color and clarity in a permanent and predictable way, and the piece is fully disclosed as such.

For the educated buyer, the combination of carat weight, cut quality, and provenance makes this sapphire a compelling purchase. Ceylon sapphires are known for their lively, cornflower to medium strong blues and for producing gems with attractive transparency and saturation, characteristics that appeal to collectors and connoisseurs. The mixed brilliant cut here has been executed to preserve the stone's optical performance, offering pleasing scintillation and a well balanced face up appearance for rings, pendants, or bespoke settings. The very slightly included clarity grade indicates minimal internal features that confirm natural origin without compromising practicality or wearability, and the excellent polish ensures consistent light performance and an appealing finish.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize ethical sourcing and transparency, and this sapphire is offered with a clear chain of custody from Sri Lanka to our workshops, ensuring responsible procurement and support for local mining communities. For the conscious consumer this gem represents an intersection of responsible luxury and enduring value, combining traceable origin, disclosed and stable enhancement, and the durability of corundum for everyday wear. We can assist with independent laboratory reports, recommended settings that protect the stone and showcase its color, and care guidance such as gentle cleaning with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush. This Ceylon sapphire is ready to become a thoughtful addition to a curated collection or a meaningful, responsibly sourced engagement piece.
