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

There are objects that simply announce themselves, and then there are treasures that quietly demand a closer look, inviting admiration from those with the sensibility to know it. This semi translucent blue sapphire, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, is such a treasure. Weighing 2.17 carats, this oval shape cabochon measures 7.81 by 6.16 by 4.11 mm, and it carries a presence that is both refined and resolute. Its vivid color intensity is immediately arresting, a deep, resonant blue that seems to hold depth within its luminous body. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is eye clean, a rarity in stones of such rich tone, and the polish is excellent, yielding a mirror like surface that accentuates the stone’s sensual dome. Origin is Ceylon, a provenance that connoisseurs recognize for its long history of producing sapphires with exceptional hue and character. Enhancement has been performed by heat treatment, a time honored and stable method used to reveal the gem’s true potential, and this careful intervention enhances the sapphire’s natural beauty without compromising its integrity.

To hold this cabochon is to experience the softer language of refined gemstones, a language of velvety light and subdued glow that cabochon cutting uniquely expresses. The oval silhouette is classical, flattering in its symmetry, and the smooth dome allows the blue to breathe, to glow from within rather than merely reflect light from its facets. Because it is semi translucent, light penetrates the stone and diffuses, producing moments of inner luminescence that change with every movement. The measurements of 7.81 by 6.16 by 4.11 mm make this gem eminently wearable, offering a distinguished presence on a signet ring, a pendant set in a refined bezel, or a bespoke pair of earrings that speak to understatement and discernment. The vivid intensity of the blue ensures that it will not be lost when set, while the eye clean clarity gives the gem an uninterrupted field of color, a purity that luxury patrons prize. The excellent polish elevates the tactile experience, so that the sapphire not only looks magnificent, it feels like an object impeccably finished and ready to be cherished for generations.
