2.18 Ct. Bi Color / Parti Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the ancient river gravels of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where monsoon waters once whispered through alluvial beds, this transparent bi color parti sapphire began its long journey, forming layer by layer beneath the tropical earth. Miners guided by tradition and a deep respect for the land discovered the rough stone, noting its subtle shifts of hue that speak of varied minuscule traces of trace elements. Carried from mine to workshop, the sapphire retained the story of its origin, a quiet testimony to the island that has shaped fine sapphires for centuries. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that legacy by tracing each gem back to its source, sharing not only the physical measurements, but the cultural context that gives a Ceylon sapphire its special resonance, an emblem of craftsmanship and the old world gem trade.

In the lapidary studio the rough was studied, measured at 7.87 x 8.25 x 4.93 mm, and entrusted to a cutter with a clear vision. The result is a precise trillion cut, a faceted geometry crafted to maximize light play, with crisp pavilion facets and a symmetrical crown that channels breath and brilliance through every plane. Weighing 2.18 carat, this slightly included gemstone was faceted to bring out its light color intensity while maintaining excellent polish and uncompromised transparency, no enhancement. The trillion shape serves as both a modern statement and a nod to classical geometry, each facet acting like a tiny window, reflecting and refracting light to reveal the parti character that is quietly bi color. Evaluated at eye level for clarity, the inclusions add personality rather than detract, offering a fingerprint of origin and authenticity. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire arrives ready to be set, ideal for a solitaire that celebrates both precision cutting and natural story, an heirloom in the making, a connection between the miner who first held the rough stone and the wearer who will carry it forward.
