2.55 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent 2.55 carat oval blue sapphire carries the legacy of centuries of admiration, a gem that speaks of seafaring traders and royal treasuries, of temples and courts where Ceylon sapphires were prized above all. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this stone embodies the island heritage that has defined the classic sapphire for generations, a vivid color intensity that seems to hold the deep evening sky within its facets. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize brilliance and fire, while an excellent polish ensures that each facet catches the light with refined clarity. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is described as very very slightly included, a mark of natural origin that does not detract from the gem s presence, but rather confirms its authenticity and character. The sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional enhancement that stabilizes and enriches its color, honoring long established gemological practices and ensuring lasting beauty for decades to come.

For the discerning collector seeking the perfect addition to a high end gemstone cabinet, this 9.13 x 7.07 x 4.75 mm oval sapphire offers an ideal balance of size, color, and provenance. The dimensions and oval profile lend themselves to classic settings, promising a stately presence in either a period inspired ring or a refined pendant. Its vivid blue tone and superior finish make it an exceptional focal stone, while the modest inclusions underscore its genuine origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, adding provenance that seasoned connoisseurs will appreciate.
