2.64 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that tell stories across centuries, gems that carry the weight of crowns and the quiet promise of a single whispered vow, and this Ceylon blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is precisely such a keeper of history. We present a transparent 2.64 carat round sapphire, with refined dimensions of 7.94 by 7.85 by 5.23 mm, cut as a mixed brilliant to marry classical form with modern scintillation. Its intense blue unfolds like a deep sea held under a clear sky, a color that has marked royal rings and sacred talismans alike. Ceylon Sri Lanka has for millennia been synonymous with some of the world’s most cherished sapphires, and this stone carries that provenance with an unmistakable voice. Evaluated at eye level, its clarity is graded very very slightly included, a testament to its natural origin that only serves to authenticate its character, while an excellent polish ensures a surface that reflects light with captivating steadiness. This sapphire has been heat treated to enhance its innate beauty, a traditional and stable method that has been used responsibly to reveal the gem’s fullest potential.

For those seeking an engagement gemstone that stands apart from fleeting trends, this sapphire offers both symbolic depth and enduring elegance. The round shape is timeless, an emblem of unity and eternity, while the mixed brilliant cut brings a contemporary sparkle that flatters both solitaire and halo settings, as well as vintage inspired mounts. At 2.64 carats the stone has a presence that feels substantial to the hand and eye, without overpowering more delicate settings, making it ideal for brides who value balance and refinement. The intense color intensity gives the ring a signature hue that reads as both noble and modern, the kind of blue that photographs beautifully and comes alive under candlelight. The very very slightly included clarity means the stone reads as clean to the eye, yet retains the small, natural signatures that collectors and connoisseurs admire, evidence of its journey from the earth to a setting that will mark a life milestone. The excellent polish enhances every facet, producing flashes of brilliance and a depth of color that invites a closer look.

Its Ceylon origin infuses the piece with the romance of ancient mines and the patina of provenance, making the completed ring not merely fashionable, but heirloom ready.
