2.83 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a certain hush that falls when a truly beautiful stone is brought into the light, a moment like the opening of a poem, and this transparent 2.83 carat oval blue sapphire arrives with that very hush. Weighing 2.83 carats, it carries a presence that is both substantial and graceful, a weight that declares premium quality and intention, without overpowering the hand that wears it. Its dimensions of 9.54 x 7.30 x 4.88 mm give it a classical oval silhouette that seems to elongate the finger, and the mixed brilliant cut breathes life into each plane. Picture a midnight sea, when moonlight threads the waves, and you will begin to understand the deep, vivid color intensity held within this gem. Each facet reflects with an honest clarity, a window into the earths embrace, inviting quiet admiration and lasting devotion.

The blue of this sapphire is vivid in the truest sense, a saturated hue that suggests both royal lineage and oceanic depth, a shade that does not shout, but instead captures and holds the gaze. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a land famed for producing some of the most soulful sapphires in history, this gem carries provenance like a whispered story. Its excellent polish sharpens every reflection, allowing light to dance and then settle into velvety pools of color. The mixed brilliant cut is a thoughtful hand of the cutter, a marriage of sparkle and depth that frames the oval form with scintillating facets above and layered symmetry below. When set in a simple bezel, a delicate halo, or a bespoke engagement ring, this stone promises to become the heart of a jewel, a luminous memory to be carried through seasons and lifetimes.

Clarity matters when one seeks a stone of premium quality, and this sapphire is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a testament to its near pristine nature. Those slight inclusions are like fingerprints of the earth, small and honest, proof of natural formation and of a life deeply lived within the rock that birthed it. Importantly, there is no enhancement, no heat treatment or other intervention, so what you see is the stone in its original, noble state. That purity of origin, combined with the 2.83 carat weight and the gemmatic care taken in cutting and polishing, places this sapphire in a category of rare integrity. Imagine slipping the gem into a setting, feeling its reassuring weight, and knowing that it requires no artifice to sing. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this piece not merely as a jewel, but as a provenance, as a story of earth and craft, ready to be woven into your own narrative.

To hold and to wear this 2.83 carat Ceylon sapphire is to carry a quiet declaration of devotion, a tactile poem that marks milestone and memory. Its size and vivid color make it a natural choice for an engagement ring that seeks to be both singular and timeless, for an heirloom pendant that will be passed along like a secret, for a gift that reads like a vow. At The Natural Sapphire Company we see weight in carats as more than a number, it is a measure of presence and promise, and this gem, at 2.83 carats, offers both in abundance. If you wish to imagine it in your hand, picture the light catching its mixed brilliant facets, the deep Ceylon blue moving like water across the surface, and the thought that you own something unenhanced and authentically rare. When you are ready to make a choice that will be remembered, this sapphire waits like a chapter opening, luminous and steady, a premium jewel for a life expressed in commitment and beauty.
