2.56 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This cushion shape blue sapphire carries with it the quiet dignity of centuries, a jewel whose story begins in the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka and continues through every era that has treasured deep blue light. At 2.56 carats, with dimensions of 7.88 by 7.43 by 5.04 mm, this transparent gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that marries classic proportions with lively sparkle. The color is vivid, a saturated blue that recalls royal cloaks and midnight seas, and the finish is of excellent polish that allows light to breathe from every facet. Clarity is graded very very slightly included at eye level, a mark of natural character that does nothing to diminish the stone s brilliance, and the sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional and widely accepted enhancement that brings forward its best hue. For those who value provenance as much as beauty, this gem arrives to you through The Natural Sapphire Company, a name that honors ethical sourcing and expert selection.

Beyond its historical resonance, this sapphire is built for a life of wear, offering exceptional durability that suits both heirloom settings and everyday elegance. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, sapphire ranks at nine, making it second only to diamond at ten, and harder than topaz which is eight, and quartz which is seven, so it resists scratching and retains its polish through years of use. That hardness, combined with the stone s robust crystal structure, means it is an excellent choice for rings, pendants, and other pieces that encounter daily motion, while the mixed brilliant cut ensures lively return of light even under indoor illumination. Heat treatment is stable and commonly practiced, preserving the vivid color that defines this Ceylon specimen, and careful setting by experienced jewelers will protect its girdle and pavilion for generations. If you seek a sapphire that speaks to tradition, provenance, and lasting beauty, this cushion blue from The Natural Sapphire Company offers a rare harmony of history and endurance, ready to become part of your story and to pass into the hands of future admirers.
