2.53 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A gem with a storied past and a refined presence, this transparent 2.53 carat emerald cut bluish green sapphire invites a sense of continuity and calm. Hailing from Ceylon in Sri Lanka, a source of sapphires that have been valued for centuries for their vibrancy and character, this stone carries that island legacy into a modern setting. The classic emerald cut accentuates clarity and geometry, with step facets that create bands of light and shadow, and its dimensions of 7.94 x 5.73 x 5.33 mm give it a balanced, wearable profile that is both elegant and substantial. The color is a medium intense bluish green, a tone that evokes deep tropical seas and cultivated gardens, and the excellent polish ensures that each facet breathes with life. At an eye level clarity grade of very very slightly included, the gem preserves transparency and visual purity, offering a window to the depth and nuance that only natural sapphires can reveal. This sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional and widely accepted enhancement that refines color and clarity while respecting the stone, and it remains a natural treasure with a provenance you can trust.

Beyond its poetic lineage, this sapphire is built to endure, making it an ideal choice for daily wear in rings, pendants, and bracelets that are meant to be worn and cherished. Sapphire is second only to diamond in hardness, ranked nine on the Mohs scale, which means it resists scratches and abrasions that dull lesser stones. The emerald cut itself contributes to durability by reducing the number of small pointed facets that can chip, while the very very slightly included clarity at eye level indicates internal character that does not compromise strength. The excellent polish and precise faceting support longevity by minimizing surface irregularities where wear might begin, and because this stone is heat treated in a controlled manner, its color stability is well established. For everyday life, the sapphire tolerates the gentle knocks and daily motions that characterize active hands, and with simple, mindful care such as warm soapy water and a soft brush when needed, it will maintain its luster for generations. Routine inspections of the setting will help ensure the gem is secure, and when mounted by skilled jewelers its enduring hardness combines with professional craftsmanship to create an heirloom quality piece.
