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

This transparent 2.24 carat emerald cut bi color parti sapphire measured at dimensions 6.50 by 6.16 by 5.00 mm presents a rare and refined combination of attributes that will appeal to a discerning collector, The Natural Sapphire Company certifies its origin as Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source long celebrated for high quality corundum. The cutting style is faceted with an emerald cut that emphasizes broad step facets and a hall of mirrors effect, creating strong linear flashes and controlled light return which suit the stone s medium color intensity and excellent polish. The sapphire is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates minimal internal features that do not materially detract from durability or overall brilliance, and under magnification these inclusions are small and characterful rather than distracting. Importantly there has been no enhancement, so the color zoning and bi color character are entirely natural, a factor that materially increases desirability and market value for collectors who prioritize untreated origin material. At 2.24 carats in a refined emerald cut, the stone carries visual presence on the finger or pendant while retaining a classical, architectural silhouette that highlights its parti coloration and transparency.

For custom settings this sapphire offers versatile and sophisticated pairing options, color and metal choices will determine whether the warm or cool phase is emphasized. To accentuate the warm golden and champagne tones consider a warm metal such as 18 karat yellow or rose gold and flank the center with cognac or champagne diamonds of VS to SI clarity to harmonize tone while preserving sparkle. For contrast and to bring out the cooler silvery green to gray blue areas, choose fine quality Ceylon blue sapphires or deep cornflower sapphires as tapered baguette side stones, or mount the center in platinum with a halo of G to H color, VS clarity white diamonds for a contemporary, high contrast aesthetic. For a three stone design consider matched accent sapphires totaling 0.50 to 1.00 carat, graded eye clean, to maintain color balance, or small brilliant cut melee of 1.5 to 2.0 millimeters if a halo is preferred. The sapphire s natural, untreated provenance and excellent polish make it well suited to everyday wear, its Mohs hardness providing long term durability, and The Natural Sapphire Company is available to advise on exact matching stones, metal selection, and setting profiles to create a custom piece that highlights both the parti uniqueness and gemological integrity of this exceptional sapphire.
