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

This sapphire is the kind of discovery that redefines rarity, a gemstone that will not simply complete a collection, it will elevate it. At 2.25 carats, this cushion shaped bi color or parti sapphire sits in an uncommon size bracket for transparent stones with such clean crystal structure and vivid dual tones. In a market where true parti sapphires of significance are usually either small or heavily included, this example stands apart, combining meaningful carat weight with exceptional transparency. For connoisseurs who seek something beyond mass produced color stones, for collectors who prize singularity over imitation, this gem represents a once in a lifetime opportunity. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a gem that is as rare in scale as it is in soul, a stone that allows its owner to belong to a very select group of patrons who can claim an unmistakable piece of natural beauty.

Measured precisely at 7.18 x 6.24 x 5.04 mm, with a total weight of 2.25 carats, this cushion faceted sapphire has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to harmonize color and light. The cutting style enhances both scintillation and the soft, alluring diffusion of the parti tones, allowing the stone to present different attractive aspects as it moves. Clarity has been graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a clarity profile that in a transparent sapphire of this size gives it the kind of clean appearance collectors expect from top tier pieces. Color intensity is classified as medium, which in this instance yields a perfect balance, avoiding the flatness of weak color and the heaviness of oversaturated material. Polish has been executed to an excellent standard, ensuring that the surface interacts with light in a manner that maximizes brilliance and allows the internal color zoning to be read with ease. Importantly, this sapphire has received no enhancement, a trait that increases its rarity and value, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing some of the most desirable sapphires in the world.

Visually the stone offers a living landscape of hues, a delicate yet striking transition between green and bluish green with hints of golden yellow depending on the angle of view and the quality of light. The bi color or parti characteristic is not merely two adjacent colors, it is an integrated color narrative that changes as the gem is worn, appearing cooler in some lights and warmer in others, a private performance visible only to the wearer and those privileged to see it close up. The cushion outline contributes to a timeless elegance, providing a generous table that displays the color interplay clearly, while the mixed brilliant pavilion returns light in a lively, crystalline manner. Compared to other sapphires that may exhibit crude color zoning or that require clarity enhancements to appear appealing, this natural, untreated specimen stands out for the integrity of its material and the skillful cutting that preserves and showcases its intrinsic beauty. The result is a gem that feels bespoke rather than off the shelf, a stone that will read as an unmistakable signature piece whether set in a minimal solitaire or an elaborate custom design.
