2.61 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Ceylon sapphires have been valued for millennia for their luminous depth and enduring elegance, worn by monarchs and travelers who prized their beauty as a symbol of legacy and protection, and this pear shape gem continues that storied tradition, offering an heirloom quality that transcends fashion. This transparent 2.61 carat blue sapphire from Sri Lanka measures 14.33 x 5.34 x 4.21 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut combines scintillating facets with a refined pavilion to produce lively brilliance and a vivid color intensity that captures light from every angle. Evaluated at eye level, it is very very slightly included, a clarity that preserves visual purity while affirming the natural origin of the stone, and an excellent polish completes its surface for crisp reflections. Heat treated to enhance stability and color, this sapphire reflects the timeless appeal that collectors and connoisseurs associate with classic Ceylon material, and it carries the quiet gravitas of sapphires that have graced crowns and devotional jewels for generations.

Beyond its historical resonance, the proportions and pear silhouette of this sapphire make it an ideal centerpiece for custom jewellery, allowing designers to craft pieces that are both modern and timeless. The elongated 14.33 mm length is perfect for a vertical pendant that skims the neckline, a tapered solitaire ring that visually elongates the finger, or a dramatic drop earring that sways with graceful motion, and the 5.34 mm width and 4.21 mm depth provide secure setting options whether you prefer a delicate bezel for everyday wear or elegant prongs for maximum light return. The mixed brilliant cut offers versatility for halo, three stone, or vintage inspired settings, and the vivid blue lends itself beautifully to warm yellow gold, cool white gold, or rose gold palettes.
