2.60 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This semi transparent 2.60 carat freeform blue sapphire from Ceylon offers a rare combination of natural provenance and artisanal character that sets it apart from mass produced stones, the dimensions of 24.50 x 11.30 x 6.70 mm make it an elongated and eye catching presence, the clarity grade of included at eye level gives the stone depth and a lived in silkiness that many collectors prize over crystal clear laboratory enhanced material, the medium color intensity provides a versatile cornflower to sky blue that complements both warm and cool metal choices, the excellent polish ensures a soft reflective sheen across the surface, the fact that this sapphire has had no enhancement means you are acquiring a genuinely natural gem with the color and character created by nature in Sri Lanka, Ceylon sapphires are widely respected for their classical blue tones, and compared to heat treated or heavily modified stones this untreated gem carries a premium in authenticity and long term value, unlike perfectly faceted round or oval stones which can feel predictable, the freeform shape invites creative design and gives a finished piece personality from the outset.

Because of its freeform profile and semi transparent body this sapphire is exceptionally adaptable to custom jewelry settings, set on edge it reads like an elongated cabochon ideal for artisan bezel rings or statement pendants where the metal frames the organic silhouette, set flat it becomes a dramatic center for open back halo pendants and cocktail rings where light passing through the stone enhances its inner glow, the medium color intensity pairs beautifully with both 18 carat yellow gold to warm the tone and platinum or white gold to emphasize the pure blue, the included clarity makes paired accent stones such as diamonds or white sapphires an intelligent choice to add sparkle without masking the sapphire character, given the freeform outline a custom bezel or partial bezel will protect the delicate profile, while prong settings can accentuate the carved edges and allow maximum light, for more sculptural designs consider asymmetric clusters, split shank rings, drop earrings with bespoke mounting, or brooches and cuffs that celebrate the stone as a miniature art object, at The Natural Sapphire Company we specialize in translating unique natural sapphires into wearable heirlooms, our design team can advise on metal, setting style, and accent options to preserve the stone integrity while creating exceptional value and individuality.
