2.62 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a sapphire that fulfills both a romantic promise and a collector level standard, this transparent 2.62 carat oval blue sapphire answers that call, and your search can end here with The Natural Sapphire Company. This gem has been selected for people who value natural beauty, traceable origin, and the quiet assurance that comes from owning a stone with no enhancement. The origin of this sapphire is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for sapphires with luminous clarity and a refined blue that reads as elegant rather than overpowering. The oval shape measures 9.42 x 6.98 x 4.86 mm, making it an ideal center stone for an engagement ring, a pendant that rests close to the heart, or a cabinet of gems where provenance and character matter. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish work together to maximize light performance, while the medium light color intensity gives a versatile, wearable blue that photographs beautifully and complements a wide range of settings.

Look closely at the face up presentation and you will appreciate the balance this sapphire strikes between clarity and life. Graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the stone reads as clean to the unaided eye, with only the most subtle internal features visible, and these features are part of its charm. The mixed brilliant cut brings bright scintillation through the pavilion and a soft, lively fire from the crown, giving the stone movement and personality with every turn. The excellent polish sharpens facet junctions and enhances surface brilliance, so the sapphire disperses light with crisp flashes and a silky overall sheen. The medium light color intensity means the blue is unmistakable, yet not so deep that it loses transparency, it remains open and beautifully luminous, the very quality many customers seek for an engagement ring that will be worn day to day.

What makes this Ceylon sapphire truly unique are the internal signatures that tell the story of its formation, and these signatures are part of the reason collectors and connoisseurs prize Sri Lankan material. Within this stone you will find delicate, silky rutile threads, tiny pinpoint crystals, and faint growth zoning that align with natural crystallization rather than treatment induced structures. These inclusions are small, and in a gem graded very very slightly included they do not detract from beauty, they add depth, character, and proof of natural origin. Under magnification, the silky network can catch light and create a soft, velvety glow that enhances the perceived depth of color, and the pinpoint crystals act as tiny mirrors that animate the interior. These features are not flaws to hide, they are the sapphire signature that assures you of authenticity and a completely natural history, no enhancement. For the customer who seeks reassurance that a gem is untouched by heat or diffusion, the combination of clarity, specific inclusion types, and confirmed Ceylon origin offers a confidence that few modern stones can match.

This sapphire is a definitive answer for the buyer who wants a meaningful engagement stone, a collector who desires a piece with clear provenance, and a client who appreciates the honest beauty of a natural gem. The size and proportions are flattering in classic settings and also lend themselves to contemporary designs that celebrate the oval silhouette, and because the stone is untreated, it can be passed down as an heirloom with its story intact. At The Natural Sapphire Company we stand behind the authenticity and quality of every gem, and we understand that choosing a sapphire is both an emotional and a technical decision. If you want a stone that combines transparent, medium light blue color, superb cutting and polish, a clean, very very slightly included clarity profile, and the unmistakable inclusion signature of a Ceylon origin with no enhancement, this 2.62 carat oval sapphire is the solution. Your search for a natural, characterful, and highly wearable blue sapphire can conclude confidently with this gem.
