2.57 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the rich gem gravels of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this blue sapphire began its long journey as a sliver of corundum forged over millions of years beneath the island earth. Miners recovered the rough with practiced hands, aware that Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their velvety cornflower to intense royal blue tones, and this particular crystal was selected for its depth of hue and crystalline transparency. At 2.57 carats, with dimensions of 8.39 x 5.22 x 5.27 mm, the stone was entrusted to master cutters at The Natural Sapphire Company, who chose an emerald cut to emphasize the gem s strong color and linear elegance. The cut, combined with an excellent polish, produces clean facet steps and a luminous table that draws the eye into the sapphire s core. To stabilize and intensify the natural blue, the gem received a carefully controlled heat treatment, a traditional enhancement used throughout the industry to reveal the stone s best character while preserving its natural origin and structure.

When viewed closely, this sapphire carries tiny, natural signatures that gemologists call inclusions, and in this gem they are part of its identity. Graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, these internal features appear as fine silk and occasional pinpoint crystals that lend texture to the blue, like threads woven through a deep fabric. Rather than detract, these inclusions confirm the stone s journey from nature to jewel, acting as unique fingerprints that distinguish it from lab created material and mass produced imitations. The emerald cut places these features in gentle relief, allowing owners to appreciate the balance between clarity and character, while the intense color intensity ensures the blue remains the star. For those seeking a sapphire that carries a story, not just a grade, this 2.57 carat Ceylon emerald cut blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company combines provenance, workmanship, and natural individuality into a single, wearable treasure, ready to be set and worn as a sign of refined taste and enduring beauty.
