2.54 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are moments in life that demand something rare and unforgettable, a single striking object that can carry a story for generations. This GIA certified blue sapphire, weighing 2.54 carats, is precisely that kind of treasure, a jewel that commands attention and stirs the heart the instant it catches the light. Imagine the thrill of presenting this cushion shaped sapphire, watching the person you love lift it to their eyes and feel the quiet certainty that this is unlike anything they have ever seen. Its transparent body and refined proportions give it a luminous presence on the hand, and because it is both beautiful and authentically natural, it becomes more than jewelry, it becomes a memory made permanent. Coming from the legendary mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and arriving with the meticulous endorsement of GIA, this sapphire carries lineage, trust, and the kind of provenance that turns moments into heirlooms.

When you study this gem closely you see why it stands apart from other sapphires on the market, its measurements are 8.20 x 6.80 x 5.36 millimeters, a substantial size for a cushion cut sapphire that balances presence with elegance. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize scintillation and internal fire, while an excellent polish gives every facet the ability to sing when light passes through it. Clarity is graded as slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone retains a high degree of visual purity to the naked eye while carrying the natural character that collectors and connoisseurs prize. Its color intensity is medium intense, a hue that preserves depth and vitality without tipping into heaviness, and crucially this sapphire has had no enhancement. No heat treatment, no diffusion, simply the original, untouched beauty of Ceylon corundum as certified by GIA. These combined attributes create a gem that feels both alive and authentic, an object that holds the glow of the earth itself.

The rarity of this sapphire cannot be overstated, especially when you consider the current trends in the sapphire market. Many sapphires of comparable size are routinely heat treated to heighten their color, and many stones with a medium intense, clear blue are found in smaller sizes or with trade offs in clarity or polish. Finding a natural, unenhanced sapphire over two and a half carats with such a balanced medium intense color, a cushion shape with an artful mixed brilliant cut, and an excellent polish is remarkably uncommon. Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their lively character and range of blues, and yet the particular combination of a transparent body, medium intense cornflower to vivid blue tone, and the natural state of this stone elevates it beyond what most similar options can offer. The visual impact of an 8.20 by 6.80 millimeter cushion is immediate on the finger, and the depth of the pavilion at 5.36 millimeters ensures that flashes of lively brilliance and soft flashes of velvety blue play together with each movement. Collectors seeking authenticity, couples searching for a meaningful engagement piece, and anyone who understands the quiet power of a gem that has not been altered will recognize how unusually complete this sapphire is.
