2.62 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A singular expression of refined taste, this breathtaking transparent blue sapphire weighs 2.62 carats, and is fashioned in an elegant emerald cut that allows an architectured play of light to glide across its table. The proportions are gracious, measuring 9.02 by 6.73 by 4.40 mm, and the stone presents a medium color intensity that is neither timid nor overpowering, but perfectly balanced for both statement pieces and enduring classics. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, ensuring that the gem appears clean to the unaided eye while retaining the natural signatures that attest to its genuine origin. An excellent polish enhances each facet, bestowing a mirror like brilliance that amplifies the serene blue tone. Heat treated to refine its color and stability, and sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries with it the storied provenance and oceanic hues for which Ceylon stones are celebrated. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem not just as a stone, but as an heirloom quality possession that signals achievement and cultivated discernment.

Durability is an intrinsic luxury, and this Ceylon sapphire is supremely equipped for daily wear. As a member of the corundum family, sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, which translates to exceptional resistance to scratching from everyday surfaces. The emerald cut lends itself to structural integrity through longer facets and guarded corners, especially when well set, reducing the risk of chipping under normal wear. Very very slightly included clarity speaks to minimal internal features, which are distant from the girdle and table, preserving the gem density and toughness. The excellent polish not only elevates luster, it also smooths potential surface irregularities that could catch on fabric, making this stone comfortable for constant wear. Heat treatment performed in a controlled environment is a stable enhancement for corundum, used to bring forth the ideal color while maintaining structural resilience, and it will not compromise the gem when crafted into rings, bracelets, pendants, or any piece intended for regular enjoyment.

For those who intend to wear this sapphire every day, thoughtful setting and routine care will safeguard its brilliance for decades. A skilled jeweler at The Natural Sapphire Company can recommend settings that emphasize both protection and poise, with options such as a bezel for maximal edge security, or a thoughtful four or six prong setting that cradles the corners typical of an emerald cut while allowing light to enter freely. Low profile mounts are elegant and practical for rings that will be worn throughout the day, while lockable settings and secure bar work suit bracelets and cufflinks. Cleaning is simple, and part of the pleasure of ownership, with warm water, a gentle soap, and a soft brush restoring radiance swiftly, followed by a delicate dry with a lint free cloth. For periodic maintenance a professional inspection will confirm that settings remain secure and will preserve both beauty and value. The sapphire responds well to customary care, and its natural hardness means it will weather the small knocks and daily motions of a life well lived.
