2.52 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional deep blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a study in refined elegance, a stone that announces itself with confident restraint and rare purity. We present a transparent, GIA certified sapphire weighing 2.52 carats, cut in a classic emerald shape, with dimensions of 8.39 x 6.00 x 4.81 mm, and a clarity grade recorded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level. The color is intense and unequivocal, a deep royal blue that remains saturated even beneath the broad, flat table of the emerald cut, and the polish is excellent, producing a mirror like surface that throws clean flashes of blue and inky velvety depth. This sapphire originates in Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that carries storied heritage and an association with the finest blue sapphires on the globe, and the stone has received a standard heat treatment to bring out its most flattering hue and stability.

The emerald cut is uniquely suited to bespoke jewelry because it balances architectural grace with wearable proportions, and this particular stone exemplifies that union. At 8.39 mm in length and 6.00 mm in width the stone offers a substantial presence on the finger or pendant without overwhelming daily wear. The relatively shallow pavilion rising to a broad table produces a playing field for color rather than a kaleidoscope of scintillation, which means the deep blue reads consistently and luxuriously in daylight and in evening light alike. The depth of the stone translates to a well proportioned silhouette that sits elegantly in a bezel for a low profile, or in a four or six prong mounting to emphasize the clean step facets and crisp geometry. The emerald cut also yields long linear facets that highlight the gem's internal clarity, and with a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level the surface reads as clean and luminous to the naked eye, making it ideal as a showpiece center stone.

For the custom jeweler and the client who desires a piece that signals cultivated taste and lasting value, this sapphire is a superb canvas. Its rectangular form opens the door to multiple design dialogues, from restrained solitaire rings that allow the stone to behave like a signet for the hand, to halo settings that frame the blue with diamonds for contrast and brilliance, to contemporary East West settings that use the length to flatter long fingers. The 8.39 x 6.00 x 4.81 mm dimensions are generous enough to be impactful in a bespoke engagement ring, and discreet enough to be incorporated into cufflinks or a pendant that reads as masculine or feminine depending on the mounting. The stone's excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions which are invaluable for precision settings, and the heat treatment is a stable enhancement that jewelers accept widely, permitting confident setting and secure design that will endure.

Owning this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a declaration of refined preference and a wise choice for collectors and connoisseurs of fine gems. The GIA documentation affirms the stone's identity and characteristics, and the Ceylon origin lends an additional layer of cachet tied to decades of reputation for producing the most desirable blues. Whether you imagine this gem as the centerpiece of an heirloom engagement ring, as the architectural focal point of a bespoke bar or cufflink set, or as a unique pendant that sits flush against tailored shirting, its proportions and clarity make it especially amenable to precision craftsmanship. Our team can advise on mounting styles that will honor the stone's depth and table, and on metal choices and accents that will elevate its deep blue to the fullest, but ultimately this sapphire stands on its own as an object of desire, a rare fusion of color, cut and provenance that rewards discerning ownership.
