2.75 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent greenish blue sapphire weighs 2.75 carats and measures 8.96 by 5.98 by 5.29 millimeters, presented in a refined oval shape that balances classic elegance with contemporary wearability. The cutting style is faceted, employing a mixed brilliant cut that combines a faceted crown with a brilliant style of pavilion facets to maximize both color and light return. The gem exhibits intense color intensity, a greenish blue hue that is characteristic of fine Ceylon sapphires, and an eye clean clarity grade that was evaluated at eye level. Its polish is excellent, and it has been heat treated using industry standard practices to stabilize and intensify the tone and saturation, a disclosure the educated buyer expects. This stone is offered through The Natural Sapphire Company, where provenance, accurate description, and consistent gemological standards are central to our approach.

The mixed brilliant cut used for this sapphire is a deliberate choice to enhance both brilliance and color saturation, creating scintillation that activates with movement while preserving depth of hue when viewed face up. The oval outline measures with a length to width ratio of approximately one point five, a proportion that produces an attractive spread on the finger and allows the pavilion facets to channel light efficiently back to the observer. Precision in facet angles and symmetry is evident, and the excellent polish minimizes light leakage and surface diffusion, so that light entering the gem is returned as sharp flashes and a lively play of color. From every viewing angle the faceting pattern supports both strong brilliance and even color distribution, and the mixed brilliant design helps to mask minor internal growth features from ordinary observation, which contributes to the eye clean appearance without altering the gemological integrity of the stone.

Clarity, when described as eye clean at normal viewing distance, is a meaningful attribute for discerning buyers because it indicates that the stone will present as visually flawless in typical settings, without requiring loupe inspection to validate what the unaided eye perceives. For collectors and connoisseurs the combination of eye clean clarity and intense color is particularly valuable because it reduces the compromise often required between purity and chroma. The origin, Ceylon Sri Lanka, contributes an important layer of desirability and context, since Ceylon sapphires are widely respected for their lively, sometimes lighter tone with strong saturation and a pleasing mix of blue and green hues. Heat treatment is a standard and stable enhancement for sapphires, accepted in the trade when fully disclosed, and it improves color uniformity and clarity without diminishing the gem relative to untreated material in terms of durability or long term stability.

For the buyer seeking a stone that performs beautifully in both formal and everyday lighting scenarios, this sapphire represents a balanced proposition of aesthetics, provenance, and technical quality. The combination of weight, measured proportions, mixed brilliant faceting, eye clean clarity, intense color, and excellent polish yields a gem that reads as flawless at arm length and delivers captivating brilliance and color from every vantage point. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the description and offers the documentation and viewing options that an educated purchaser requires, including photographic documentation under standardized lighting and independent gemological reporting upon request. This sapphire will set exceptionally well in a variety of jewelry styles, from solitaire rings that emphasize the oval spread to halo or three stone settings that play with contrast, and it is equally suitable for a collector who values pieces that are both beautiful and technically well executed. For those who appreciate gemstones with clear, verifiable attributes and visual impact, this Ceylon sapphire offers an elegant, durable, and attractive choice.
