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

One glance at this 2.02 carat cushion shape bi color sapphire from Ceylon tells you why collectors and designers turn to The Natural Sapphire Company when they want something truly special. Measuring 8.25 x 6.06 x 3.95 mm, this gem offers a perfect balance of face up presence and wearability, with transparency that lets the vivid color intensity sing. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to excellent polish standards, creating a lively play of light that enhances both the yellow green and deeper olive green color zones. Clarity is very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone reads as essentially eye clean while retaining natural character, and the enhancement is a stable heat treatment commonly accepted by the trade. Origin from Sri Lanka, historically known as Ceylon, adds provenance that matters, because Ceylon sapphires are prized for their brightness and clean tonalities, making this cushion bi color piece a refined alternative to more predictable single tone stones.

When you compare this Ceylon bi color sapphire with other options on the market, its advantages become clear. Many commercially offered stones are one dimensional in tone, or they are trade lower grade sapphires with visible inclusions and weak polish that reduce sparkle and perceived value. Synthetics can mimic color and clarity, but they lack natural origin and resale appeal, and many treatments in lower price stones can compromise long term stability. Compared with bi color tourmalines, which can be attractive but softer and often less brilliant, this sapphire combines the drama of two tones with the superior hardness and durability of corundum. Compared with alexandrite, which is rare and costly for true color change, this bi color sapphire offers an eye catching duality at a more accessible price point, while still delivering a rare natural phenomenon. The mixed brilliant cut here maximizes reflectivity and contrast between the color zones, so when set the gem reads as lively and luxurious rather than muted or muddy, giving you a step up in quality from many mass market alternatives.

Versatility is where this sapphire truly outshines similar stones, because its cushion shape and balanced dimensions make it ideal for both casual and formal applications. Wear it in a daily ring with a secure prong or low bezel that protects the girdle and allows light to enter the pavilion, or let it be the focal point of a pendant where movement reveals the two tones in different lights. In formal settings the vivid color intensity and excellent polish catch chandelier lights beautifully, making it a confident centerpiece for cocktail rings or evening pendants. In casual situations the inherent sturdiness of sapphire means you can enjoy the bicolor shift without constant worry, and the 2.02 carat size reads substantial without being cumbersome for everyday wear. For designers and clients who want versatility, the mixed brilliant cut offers scintillation that keeps the gem interesting from every angle, while the cushion outline remains classic enough to pair with modern or vintage inspired settings, adapts well to halo or solitaire designs, and balances gender neutral styles equally well.
