2.83 Ct. Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The exquisite 2.83 carat pear-shaped greyish blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a masterpiece of nature and craftsmanship, resonating with illustrious heritage. This exceptional gem, with dimensions of 13.52 x 6.77 x 4.05 mm, hails from the esteemed Ceylon region in Sri Lanka. Ceylon has been renowned for producing some of the world's most coveted sapphires throughout history, a tradition that dates back centuries when royalty and connoisseurs sought out these precious gems for their intense beauty and profound vibrancy.

This sapphire showcases a mixed brilliant cut, an advanced cutting technique that enhances its innate brilliance and fire. The arrangement of facets maximizes the interplay of light within the stone, creating a scintillating display of elegance. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, which ensures that any inclusions are not visible at eye level, allowing the gem's spectacular character to shine through. The medium light color intensity is a well-balanced hue, accentuating both the greyish tones and the subtle blue shades, echoing the deep seas and the misty skies.

Crafted with time-honored techniques, the sapphire boasts an excellent polish, providing a mirror-like finish that complements its natural beauty. The tradition of preparing sapphires with such precision is a testament to the expertise of artisans who have perfected their skills over generations. This sapphire is not just a gemstone; it is a link to a rich legacy, reflecting the opulence of ancient Ceylonese gem trade routes. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we honor this heritage by offering gemstones of unrivaled quality and authenticity, promising you a piece of history with every purchase.
