2.81 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Hold this 2.81 carat cushion shape blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company in your mind, and feel how a single stone can turn a moment into a memory. This gem measures 8.76 x 8.04 x 4.71 mm, a perfect balance of presence and poise, and its mixed brilliant cut allows light to dance across every facet. The transparency of the stone is striking, and the medium intense color intensity bathes each flash in a radiant blue that is both classic and uniquely alive. With an excellent polish this sapphire reflects light with a lively sheen, and because it is untreated, no enhancement, this is a pure expression of nature, a soul of Ceylon Sri Lanka in a jewel that will tell a story for generations.

Imagine slipping this cushion sapphire into a ring, an heirloom pendant, or a cherished pair of earrings, and feeling a small rush of joy every time your eye catches the flash of its mixed brilliant facets. The clarity has been graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, yet the overall appearance is beautifully transparent and engaging. Those tiny inclusions do not dull its personality, rather they are natural fingerprints that speak of authenticity and provenance. The origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka is part of the romance, a place renowned for producing sapphires with a luminous, lively blue, and owning one of these stones feels like owning a little piece of a storied landscape, a living link to something older and more beautiful than any fashion moment.

Durability matters when you choose a gemstone to wear every day or to hand down through the generations, and sapphire is exceptional for durability. This Ceylon sapphire ranks 9 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, which means it resists scratches far better than most gems and will retain its polished shine through years of wear. By comparison, diamond is a 10 on the Mohs scale, the hardest natural mineral, but sapphire at 9 is remarkably tough, outlasting stones such as topaz and quartz that sit lower on the scale. The cushion shape with its rounded corners and the strength inherent in corundum chemistry together provide a secure, practical choice for an engagement ring or a treasured daily piece. When set thoughtfully by skilled hands, this sapphire will stand up to the rhythms of life, a steadfast blue heart that keeps its brilliance and integrity.

When you choose a gemstone from The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing more than beauty, you are choosing an experience of joy, love, and enduring connection. This 2.81 carat cushion shape blue sapphire with its mixed brilliant cut, dimensions 8.76 x 8.04 x 4.71 mm, medium intense color intensity, very slightly included clarity at eye level, excellent polish, and no enhancement, is a testament to natural wonder and careful craftsmanship. Picture the moment you present it to someone you love, or the quiet warmth you will feel wearing it yourself, a small daily reminder of what matters. Let this Ceylon sapphire be the centerpiece of your most meaningful celebrations, a vibrant, lasting symbol of devotion that will shine today, tomorrow, and for many lifetimes to come.
