Vedic Blue Sapphire Necklace 2.51 Ct., 14K Yellow Gold

This necklace is a refined study in classic jewelry proportions, fully set in 18K yellow gold, and centered by a transparent 2.51 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, with precise dimensions of 8.31 x 8.20 x 4.04 mm. The stone has been faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to unite the scintillation of a brilliant pavilion with the softer table and crown planes of a classic cushion, resulting in lively light performance and a strong face up presence. At the time of assessment the sapphire graded as eye clean when examined at normal viewing distance, a clarity characteristic that allows its color to read pure and uninterrupted, and the stone displays an excellent polish that enhances both brilliance and overall finishing. Color is described as medium intense saturation, a well balanced tone that conveys vivid blue without appearing overly dark, and the sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and improves color and clarity. The gem originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that is well known for producing sapphires with lively blue tones and good clarity, and the sapphire is securely set in a smooth bezel setting that provides protection for the crown and corners while offering a contemporary silhouette.

From a gemological and investment perspective this pendant offers several strengths that will be meaningful to an educated buyer, beginning with the combination of carat weight and optical quality. A 2.51 carat sapphire of cushion outline and eye clean clarity is a notable specimen, since larger sapphires often contain inclusions that affect transparency. The mixed brilliant cutting approach is intended to optimize light return and spread, giving the stone a combination of sparkle and depth, and the excellent polish ensures minimal surface abrasion that can otherwise scatter light. Medium intense color saturation places the stone in a sweet spot for wearable luxury, maintaining a vivid appearance under daylight and artificial lighting, while avoiding the overly dark tones that can reduce apparent size. Heat treatment remains the standard in the industry, it is a stable treatment when correctly applied, and it is fully disclosed here to ensure transparency in value assessment. The Ceylon origin contributes subtle geographic character, associated with bright, lively blues that many connoisseurs prefer, and when combined with the quality of the cut and finish, the result is a necklace that reads as both an aesthetic object and a carefully selected gemstone investment.

Customization is a core element of how we present this piece, and we are pleased to offer several bespoke options to tailor the necklace to your preferences. The 18K yellow gold setting can remain for its warm contrast with blue, or we can reconfigure the bezel and chain in 18K white gold or platinum for a cooler white metal presentation, and chain length and finish can be adjusted to suit neckline and wear habits. For personal inscription we offer engraving on the reverse of the bezel or on the clasp, with lettering executed by hand or machine to provide a lasting dedication or meaningful date. If you prefer a different sapphire character we can source alternative stones from our inventory to match specific criteria for hue saturation clarity and carat weight, including sapphires from other origins or in unique colors such as pink or padparadscha tone, always with full disclosure of any enhancements and documentation when available. As part of our service at The Natural Sapphire Company we also provide gemological documentation on request, bespoke design consultations to adapt proportions and settings, and ongoing care recommendations including professional cleaning and periodic inspection to keep the bezel secure and the sapphire looking its best.
