2.69 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.69 carat round bluish green sapphire is an exceptional example of natural Ceylon, Sri Lanka material, presented in a well balanced faceted form, with dimensions measuring 7.89 by 7.87 by 5.01 millimeters. The stone has been cut in a mixed brilliant style, which marries the light performance of a brilliant pavilion with the table and crown proportions that preserve color and brilliance, resulting in lively scintillation and a pleasing face up presence. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means small natural inclusions are present but do not detract from overall transparency or light return, and are consistent with quality natural sapphires. Color intensity is faint bluish green, a subtle and sophisticated hue that reflects the distinctive character of many Ceylon sapphires, and the finish is of excellent polish, enhancing surface integrity and reflective properties. Importantly, this sapphire is unenhanced, with no heat or other treatments, a condition that commands premium consideration among informed buyers who value natural state, traceable origin, and long term stability.

As a piece sourced and described by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire offers both aesthetic pleasure and provenance that support its role as a generational heirloom. Untreated Ceylon sapphires are historically prized for their combination of color, clarity, and durability, sapphire being one of the hardest gem materials after diamond, ensuring resistance to daily wear and retention of polish and form over decades. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes return of light while preserving weight and structural integrity, making it ideal for a variety of settings from classic solitaire to a secure bezel, designs that are conducive to long term wear and easy maintenance. For the educated buyer, the absence of enhancement, the clear origin, and the documented clarity grade indicate an investment in authenticity and longevity, qualities that enhance sentimental and market value over time. With appropriate care, documented certification from The Natural Sapphire Company, and a thoughtful setting, this sapphire can be handed down intact and admired by future generations, carrying both the story of its origin and the enduring beauty of natural, untreated gemstone material.
