2.94 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the misted riverbeds of Ceylon Sri Lanka to the precise hands of master cutters, this blue sapphire tells a story of place and patience. Harvested where centuries of gem lore and modern mining practices meet, the rough crystal carried within it the geology of an island known for yielding sapphires of revered character. Our gemologists at The Natural Sapphire Company sourced this stone with an eye for authentic provenance and natural beauty, selecting a transparent specimen that would respond best to a careful, transformative cut. The journey from raw material to a finished gemstone was guided by respect for its origin, ensuring that every facet of its Ceylon heritage is present in its tone and life, and preserved without treatments or alterations, no enhancement, so that the piece remains a genuine expression of nature.

In the hands of our artisan cutters the stone became a 2.94 carat cushion shape sapphire, measuring 7.47 by 6.96 by 6.05 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut designed to maximize scintillation while preserving the gem’s natural color and depth. The mixed brilliant style unites the fire of a brilliant cut with the softer, classic lines of a cushion silhouette, creating a dynamic play of light that reveals flashes of inner fire and deep blue facets as the stone moves. The clarity is very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which speaks to the sapphire’s natural formation and contributes character without distracting from its visual purity. Its medium color intensity offers a balanced blue that reads lively and versatile, and an excellent polish ensures each facet catches the light with glassy, reflective precision. Accompanied by GIA certification, this sapphire’s technical credentials are as compelling as its story, providing documented assurance of weight, measurements, cut, clarity assessment, color, origin, and the fact that it has undergone no enhancement.

As a centerpiece in any collection this sapphire commands attention, its mixed brilliant cut and cushion proportions creating a focal point that flatters a variety of settings, from an elegant solitaire ring to a pendant that rests against the heart. When held up to light the gem performs with an orchestral brilliance, a measured chorus of scintillation and glow that draws the eye and invites closer inspection, yet never shouts, maintaining an air of refined confidence. Collectors and connoisseurs will appreciate the combination of natural origin, GIA certification, and unenhanced authenticity, while designers will find in its proportions a blank canvas for creative settings that emphasize its color and brilliance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this stone not simply as an object of adornment, but as a preserved moment of earth and human craft together, ready to begin a new chapter in your collection, to be set and worn, admired and handed down.
