2.56 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a rare and beautifully transparent 2.56 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, crafted by nature in the famed mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka. This gem measures 7.51 by 6.20 by 5.67 mm, and it wears a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth. Its intense color intensity captures attention from the first glance, while its excellent polish allows each facet to reflect light with precision. Importantly, this sapphire has received no enhancement, preserving its natural origin and character. As a single example of an exceptional Sri Lankan sapphire, it is the kind of stone that collectors seek, and the kind of treasure that is rarely offered more than once.

Up close, the gem reveals a personality that combines saturated color with a refined presence. The clarity grade is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in a natural stone of this pedigree adds authenticity rather than detracts from its beauty. Those small internal characteristics act as fingerprints of its natural formation, and they sit subtly beneath a surface that remains dazzlingly transparent. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes fire and return of light, while the cushion outline softens the geometry for a timeless yet contemporary look. In different lights the sapphire shifts gently between regal cornflower blue and a deeper velveteen blue, making it endlessly engaging whether viewed in bright daylight or soft evening light.

This sapphire is remarkably versatile, suiting both everyday and special occasion jewelry with equal grace. Set simply in a classic four prong ring, it becomes an elegant engagement stone that reads as refined and intimate. Placed in a halo or more elaborate design, it transforms into a statement cocktail gem that commands attention at formal events. For daytime elegance it pairs beautifully with warm yellow gold to accentuate its depth, or with cool white metal to emphasize its crisp blue clarity. The cushion shape is especially flattering, offering a comfortable size for daily wear while providing enough presence to anchor a bespoke heirloom piece. Whether you imagine it on a modest band for frequent wear, or as the centerpiece of a made to measure commission, this sapphire adapts gracefully to the life of its owner.
