2.61 Ct. Color Change Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptionally rare color change sapphire from Ceylon embodies an invitation to join a very select circle of collectors and connoisseurs, it is an opportunity to own a single, natural treasure that stands apart from mass produced gemstones, this beautiful transparent 2.61 carat round sapphire measures 8.46 by 8.53 by 4.40 millimeters, it is faceted in a mixed brilliant cutting style that was executed to accentuate both its optical depth and its face up presence, the clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level which preserves a luminous, clean appearance to the unaided eye, the color intensity is intense, the polish is excellent, and importantly this gem carries no enhancements, it is a pure, unmodified offering from The Natural Sapphire Company.

The most arresting quality of this sapphire is its color change personality, in natural daylight this stone presents a deep, verdant green that feels alive and almost botanical, under incandescent light the same sapphire gently shifts to a warm, heathered violet with subtle undertones of plum, this dramatic and elegant transformation is not an effect of coating or treatment, rather it is a function of the stone s intrinsic crystal chemistry and the way that light in differing spectral balances interacts with the facet planes, as you move the stone the balance between green and purple evolves, creating a living display of color that rewards the wearer with an intimate spectacle each time light changes.

What gives this gem a sparkle that is unmatched by others is the deliberate marriage of proportion, facet architecture, and lapidary skill, the mixed brilliant cut employed here couples the lively scintillation of brilliant style crown facets with the depth and color saturation delivered by a stepped pavilion, the crown facets capture incoming light and fragment it into scintillating flashes, while the pavilion facets act like mirrors that return that light with intense brilliance and selective color emphasis, the generous face up dimensions combined with the measured depth allow for optimal light return across the visible spectrum, the excellent polish sharpens every facet junction so that light does not diffuse but rather snaps into bright pinpoints and broad flashes, even the very slight inclusions become part of the gem s character, they do not impede the passage of light in any meaningful way, instead they can create internal focal points that subtly accentuate the color shift and the stone s lively scintillation.
