1.90 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a gemstone that answers both a desire for immediate beauty and a wish to create a lasting family legacy, this transparent 1.90 carat emerald cut bi-color sapphire from Ceylon stands as a perfect solution, The Natural Sapphire Company brings you a stone that meets those exact needs. Measuring 8.95 by 5.68 by 3.42 millimeters, the elongated emerald cut emphasizes the sapphire’s step facets and broad table, a cut that flatters the eye while presenting a sophisticated silhouette ideal for engagement rings, statement solitaires, or bespoke collector mounts. The bi-color nature of this gem, combined with medium intense color intensity and an excellent polish, means the stone changes its visual story with every turn of the hand, offering a captivating balance of deep and lighter tones that read as refined and unexpected rather than loud or trendy. With an eye-clean clarity grade at normal viewing distance, the clarity allows the color zoning to become the star, giving the gem a personality that feels both natural and rare, the kind of character people remember and pass along.

If your priority is a sapphire that can become a generational heirloom, three practical qualities make this one a clear choice. First, corundum, the mineral family that includes sapphires, rates a nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, so this gem is inherently suited to daily wear and to the occasional reset that family pieces often undergo over decades. Second, the emerald cut’s long lines and trimmed corners provide a secure visual profile for protective settings such as bezels, low-profile prongs, or classic cathedral mounts, choices that reduce the risk of damage and preserve the stone’s crisp facets for generations. Third, provenance matters, and a Ceylon origin speaks to a storied tradition of Sri Lankan sapphires known for their clarity and lively color, The Natural Sapphire Company sources and evaluates each stone so you can start a family story with confidence. The sapphire has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that intensifies color in a way that respects the stone’s natural character; when properly set and cared for, a heat-treated sapphire retains its beauty and becomes more enduring than many softer, untreated alternatives.

Beyond technical virtues, this sapphire meets emotional needs with practicality and adaptability, making it an ideal heirloom for the life you envision. For a couple choosing an engagement ring, the emerald cut and bi-color palette communicate timeless elegance with a modern twist, translating beautifully across decades and fashion cycles so children and grandchildren can wear or reimagine it with equal pride. For the collector, its combination of eye-clean clarity, medium intense color, and excellent polish creates a specimen that belongs in a curated collection and in photographs that tell a provenance story. The versatile proportions allow it to be set east-west for a contemporary signature look, framed in a delicate halo for a softer romantic feel, or showcased alone in a sleek solitaire to underline the gem’s natural drama. Caring for it is straightforward, a gentle warm water and mild soap clean at home, periodic professional inspection of the setting, and safe storage will keep the stone ready to be handed down. When you choose this piece from The Natural Sapphire Company, you are not only selecting a beautiful gemstone, you are starting a legacy that blends geological rarity, skilled cutting, and classic design, a legacy that will live on in photographs, in family stories, and on the hands of future generations who will value it as much for its look as for the memory and intention it carries.
