2.59 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that simply exist to be admired, and then there is this extraordinary GIA certified deep blue sapphire, a 2.59 carat round, whose very presence declares refinement and discernment. Sourced from the legendary gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire measures 7.90 by 7.87 by 5.64 millimeters, a near perfect round to the eye, and bears a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with depth of color. Evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, it reveals no obstructions to the gaze, only a pristine, vivid blue that reads as both intensely saturated and luminous. Heat treated to enhance its natural beauty, and finished with an excellent polish, this sapphire embodies the meticulous standards you expect from The Natural Sapphire Company, a company that curates stones for collectors and connoisseurs who demand authenticity, provenance, and uncompromising quality.

Viewed in motion, the stone reveals the thoughtful alchemy of cut and material. The mixed brilliant design marries a well proportioned crown with precise pavilion facets, producing a lively play of light that alternates between flashes of royal blue and hints of indigo. The depth of pavilion at 5.64 millimeters lends the sapphire its concentrated, velvety core of color, while the carefully faceted crown returns scintillation at every turn. In daylight the stone offers crisp, cool blue tones against a backdrop of white light, while under incandescent or candlelight, it can adopt a warmer, more regal personality, the kind of optical versatility prized by collectors. At 2.59 carats its face up presence is substantial without overwhelming, ideal for a solitaire engagement ring or a statement pendant that sits elegantly proximal to the wearer, an object that reads as both heritage and modernity.

When considering complementary gemstones and settings for a custom piece, the choices are an opportunity to tailor the sapphire’s character to a distinct aesthetic story. For timeless, high contrast elegance, mount the sapphire in platinum or 18 karat white gold with a halo of D to G color, VS clarity round brilliant diamonds. A delicate hidden halo of smaller melee diamonds beneath the gallery will increase perceived size and create an inner glow, while tapered baguettes on either shoulder lend architectural poise and elongate the silhouette when set into a ring. For a more opulent, colorful statement, pair the Ceylon blue with vivid Colombian emerald side stones, their fresh green offering a storied pairing that traces a lineage through royal treasuries. If you favor a softer, romantic palette, delicate rose or peach sapphires, or even a subtle cluster of padparadscha accents, will warm the deep blue and create a feminine, layered effect, particularly when set in 18 karat rose gold. Consider also an asymmetric design where a trillion cut diamond or a pear shaped pink sapphire offsets the round, introducing dynamic tension that reads as bespoke artistry rather than conventional formality.
