2.59 Ct. Blue Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Sapphire Company we are pleased to present an exceptionally rare and evocative blue sapphire that speaks to connoisseurs and collectors who demand something truly singular. This translucent 2.59 carat cushion shaped sapphire measures 8.23 by 6.10 by 4.94 millimeters and has been fashioned into a traditional sugar loaf cut, a form that honors the stone's natural depth while delivering a sumptuous, tactile presence. The gem displays vivid color intensity, a deep, saturated blue that reads regal and alive under varied lighting, and it benefits from an excellent polish that produces luminous, glassy reflections across the gently domed surface. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is graded slightly included, which in a gem of this character adds to its individuality rather than detracts, and the stone has been heat treated, a well understood and fully disclosed enhancement that brings out the best in Ceylon sapphires. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing some of the most desirable blue sapphires in the world, and this particular example arrives to our collection as a naturally distinctive piece with provenance you can appreciate and trust.

This sugar loaf cushion is a study in exclusive presence, its form and hue suggesting both antiquity and modern luxury, a jewel that performs equally as a storied heirloom or a standout contemporary commission. The slightly included clarity delivers subtle internal character that catches and disperses light in an intimate way, creating pockets of velvety blue and flashes of electric cornflower blue near the crown where the polish meets the dome. The sugar loaf cut, with its rounded, elevated profile, emphasizes depth of color rather than brilliance, making it a choice selection for those who prize color saturation and a tactile aesthetic over the icy scintillation of heavily faceted gems. At 2.59 carats this sapphire is an elegant and wearable size for a bespoke ring, a private pendant, or a custom pair of cufflinks, and its measurements will allow a skilled bench to set it securely while preserving the stone's natural lines. Because sugar loaf sapphires are less commonly cut in the modern trade, especially from Ceylon material with vivid saturation and excellent polish, pieces like this become instant focal points for discerning collectors and clients who want to own something genuinely uncommon.

Owning this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company places you among an exclusive circle of patrons who commission and collect gems with an eye for rarity, provenance, and artisanal finish. We offer bespoke design consultations to translate this stone into a piece that reflects your personal narrative, whether you prefer a minimalist bezel that celebrates the stone's silhouette, a luxurious halo of melee to set off the deep blue, or a bespoke setting that incorporates textural metalwork for a truly one of a kind presentation. Care is straightforward, with gentle cleaning in warm soapy water, avoidance of harsh ultrasonic cleaners to protect the integrity of any surface-reaching inclusions and the polished dome, and professional checks by a trusted jeweler to ensure the setting remains secure. As with all of our sapphires, we provide full disclosure regarding treatment and origin, and our gem specialists are available to discuss any technical questions about cutting style, setting recommendations, and how this piece fits into a curated collection.
