2.71 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent 2.71 carat oval blue sapphire, measuring 10.01 by 8.05 by 3.92 millimeters, stands apart from many stones on the market because of its rare combination of attributes. The mixed brilliant cut gives exceptional light return and a lively face up, paired with an excellent polish that produces crisp facet reflections, so it outperforms more common step or shallow cuts that can look dull or wash out color. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included at eye level, this sapphire offers the kind of eye-clean appearance collectors seek, whereas many comparable stones in the same weight display visible silk or reaching feather inclusions that reduce brilliance. Its vivid color intensity, a true saturated and vibrant blue, is what buyers typically pursue when comparing Ceylon sapphires to alternatives from Madagascar, Australia, or commercial heated sources. Unlike some stones that require heavy treatment or suffer from muted tones, this gem has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that brings out a rich, even blue without compromising the sapphire s natural corundum character, offering far better long term value than heavily treated or dyed material. In everyday wear this sapphire shows an impressive spread for its carat weight, giving the visual impact of a larger stone because of its ideal oval proportions, and the mixed brilliant faceting maximizes sparkle in ways many off-the-shelf sapphires do not.

The origin of this sapphire, Ceylon Sri Lanka, adds a layer of provenance and desirability that directly increases its market value and collectibility. Ceylon sapphires are renowned for a lively, velvety blue that balances saturation and brightness, a signature color profile that buyers and connoisseurs prize above the often darker or more inky blues from other localities. Historically Sri Lankan stones have commanded premium prices because of consistent color quality and the island s long gem trading legacy, and this particular gem exemplifies that tradition with a vivid hue and clarity seldom found together at this size.
