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

From the moment this gem first formed deep within Ceylon Sri Lanka, it carried the slow patient history of the island in its crystal lattice. Buried in gem gravels and revealed through careful mining, this transparent bi color sapphire was selected by the team at The Natural Sapphire Company for its rare duality of hue and remarkable clarity. We tracked its journey from rough to ready, watching as the cutter studied the natural zoning and internal features, deciding how best to honor the stone with a geometry that would celebrate both its color and its light. The result is a 2.74 carat emerald cut sapphire, measuring 9.01 x 6.98 x 4.36 mm, with a medium intense color intensity and a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level. The treatment history is straightforward and traditional, the sapphire having been heat treated to enhance its clarity and color while preserving the character that signals its Ceylon origins.

The emerald cut itself is a study in geometry and restraint, a faceting plan that turns light into a disciplined performance. Parallel step facets and broad open tables create a hall of light where each plane reflects and refracts in complementary ways, allowing maximum light play and lending the stone a lively but sophisticated sparkle. Because this is a bi color sapphire, the emerald cut amplifies the shifting tones, presenting warm golden yellows and cooler greenish notes as the gem moves, making every glance a new discovery. The excellent polish brings those facets to a mirror finish, intensifying fire and luster while maintaining the elegant step pattern that collectors prize. Set in a simple bezel or a delicate four prong mounting, the proportions and brilliance of this sapphire promise to sing at the center of a bespoke ring, a pendant, or a signature heirloom piece. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor each gem by using cuts that celebrate its story, and this emerald cut bi color sapphire is a testament to that philosophy, marrying the geology of Ceylon with human craftsmanship to produce a stone that is both deeply rooted and ready to be worn.
