2.62 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent 2.62 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, measuring 8.45 x 5.57 x 5.65 mm, presents a refined balance of color and clarity that appeals to the discerning collector, mixed brilliant cutting provides a modern facet arrangement that maximizes scintillation and light return, and the excellent polish emphasizes crisp facet junctions and surface smoothness. Color is described as medium intensity, a tone that often reads as lively and versatile, capable of appearing vivid in warm settings and more serene in cool white metal mounts, the clarity is evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, indicating that natural internal features are minimal and do not detract from transparency or brilliance. This stone is from Ceylon Sri Lanka, an origin renowned among gemologists and connoisseurs for producing sapphires with a luminous, cornflower inflected blue, and importantly this sapphire is unenhanced, carrying the premium value and rarity associated with untreated material. For buyers who value verifiable natural attributes, the combination of Ceylon origin, no enhancement, and meticulous cutting makes this gem an investment grade choice that also performs beautifully when set.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize how this gem can be customized into a wide range of jewelry settings to suit individual taste and lifestyle, the 8.45 x 5.57 x 5.65 mm cushion outline fits elegantly into classic four or six prong solitaire rings where the mixed brilliant facets will deliver lively sparkle, and the same outline translates well into a halo design where a fine pavé of accent stones can enhance perceived size and color saturation. For a more modern aesthetic, consider an east west bezel that showcases the cushion profile in a sleek, protective mount, or a three stone ring where flanking trapezoids or tapered baguettes will complement the stone proportions. This sapphire also adapts beautifully to pendants, cufflinks, and bespoke cluster pieces, and setting choices in platinum, white gold, yellow gold, or rose gold will each temper the blue in distinct and attractive ways. Our team can advise on orientation and setting temperature to preserve and highlight the natural inclusions and cut architecture, ensuring a finished piece that honors the gemology of this Ceylon sapphire while delivering enduring beauty and wearable luxury.
