2.51 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a quiet ceremony in blue, a soft tide of color that gathers like a promise at the edge of the hand, and within that hush sits a gem that seems made to begin a life together. This transparent blue sapphire carries the deep calm of evening skies and the first bright note of dawn, a stone that invites a story to unfold. Sourced from the storied mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this jewel arrives with the natural grace that only oceans of time can lend. When you hold it, light moves through its heart and returns as a symphony of blue, a tone that whispers of fidelity, of constancy, of nights spent dreaming and days spent building. At The Natural Sapphire Company we place this gem before you not simply as an object, but as a companion for vows, a mirror for devotion, a single luminous witness to the promise you make.

Measure it and marvel, for the details are part of its charm and its truth. It is a 2.51 carat oval, a shape that is both classic and intimate, with dimensions of 8.85 by 6.97 by 5.08 millimeters, a proportion that rests elegantly on the finger and catches the eye without overwhelming. Cut as a mixed brilliant, each facet is fashioned to balance fire and depth, to scatter points of light while preserving a saturated field of color. The clarity has been judged eye clean at eye level, which means the surface reads as pure and uninterrupted when seen in hand, allowing the blue to breathe freely. Its color intensity is medium intense, a hue that reads as true blue, rich but not overpowering, versatile enough for a delicate platinum halo or a warm gold bezel. The polish is excellent, so each plane of the gem gleams and returns light with a clear, crisp edge. As with many fine sapphires from this region, the stone has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that enriches color and clarity, and its origin in Ceylon lends an unmistakable character of elegance and history to every facet.

Imagine this sapphire set at the center of a ring, the oval silhouette elongating the hand like a quiet promise kept, the mixed brilliant cut scattering hope in small bright flashes whenever the wearer moves. For an engagement ring it offers both statement and subtlety, large enough at 2.51 carats to be felt and admired, modest enough in profile with its 5.08 millimeter depth to sit comfortably beneath sleeves and on restless hands. The medium intense blue sings beside diamonds or stands alone with a polished metal frame, it harmonizes with classic four claw settings and it glows within a modern bezel that guards the gem like a vow. Because it is transparent and eye clean, the light travels through it with ease, creating a clarity of emotion as much as optical clarity, a luminous honesty that complements the values marriage celebrates. This is a stone that will age with the wearer, its heat treatment stable and its durability inherent, a sapphire that endures like the commitment it will signify.
