2.06 Ct. Blue Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional sapphire is a rare offering from The Natural Sapphire Company, a single cushion shape gem weighing 2.06 carats, presented with the elegant proportions of 6.38 x 6.33 x 5.02 millimeters, a form that balances presence with wearable grace. What immediately sets this stone apart is its sugar loaf cut, a classic, domed style that captures light in a soft, painterly manner, creating a lustrous interplay between depth and surface glow. The gem comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a cradle of world class sapphires, and that origin is evident in the stone quality, the silky translucence, and the sophisticated blue that reads as intensely saturated without feeling heavy. Limited in quantity, each sugar loaf cushion from this locale is seldom available at this size and with this concentrated, vivid tone, making this particular piece an excellent choice for collectors and those seeking a discreet but unmistakably luxurious focal gem.

Under close inspection at eye level the clarity of this sapphire is graded as included, which in the context of a sugar loaf cushion enhances rather than detracts from its character, the internal features lending a natural fingerprint and a soft, exclusive personality that polished faceted stones rarely display. The color intensity is intense, a deep vibrant blue that maintains alive brilliance across changing light, and the stone benefits from an excellent polish that allows highlights to flash cleanly over the curved surfaces. This sapphire is translucent, permitting light to travel into and through the gem and produce a rich inner glow that complements the domed cut. The stone has undergone responsible heat treatment, a well established and permanent enhancement used to optimize color and clarity, applied with skill to reveal the best of the natural material without overworking it. For those who appreciate authenticity, the visible traits of the sapphire narrate its geological story, its heat treatment disclosed in the spirit of full transparency and the result presented as a refined, wearable treasure that will reward daily viewing.

Owning this sapphire places you in a small circle of discerning patrons who value provenance, rarity, and refined beauty, this being one of the very few sugar loaf cushions of this weight and color that enter the market from Ceylon each season. At The Natural Sapphire Company we work closely with clients to imagine bespoke settings that honor the gem, whether set simply to showcase its domed silhouette in a minimalist solitaire, or embraced by custom side stones and metalwork that enhance its carriage on the hand. Given its dimensions and profile the stone adapts beautifully to ring designs where the sugar loaf top reads as a tactile, jewel like presence, and it also translates elegantly into pendant creations where light from all directions exploits the domed cut to full effect. We are prepared to assist with detailed design sketches, metal choices, and setting techniques that protect the gem while accentuating its intense blue, and our gemological team can provide further documentation about the stone and its Ceylon origin to accompany your purchase.

This sapphire is offered in very limited supply, and as a boutique piece it speaks to an owner who seeks something distinct rather than mass produced, a stone that will be recognized by connoisseurs yet remain a private pleasure for its wearer. If you would like a close consultation, I am available to discuss potential settings, present additional imagery, and outline the careful handling and care recommendations that will preserve the stone for generations, gentle cleaning with mild soap and warm water, avoidance of harsh chemicals and aggressive knocks, and routine checks of the setting to ensure longevity. The Natural Sapphire Company prides itself on pairing rare natural sapphires with thoughtful craftsmanship and client service, and this 2.06 carat Ceylon sugar loaf cushion, intense in color, excellent in polish, and endowed with natural inclusions that vouch for its authenticity, is a compelling candidate for anyone seeking a singular sapphire that will become a treasured heirloom.
