2.60 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush, verdant landscapes of Sri Lanka, known as Ceylon in ancient tales, lies the beginning of a journey as old as the earth itself. Deep beneath the vibrant tapestry of tropical flora, the treasured gem that would become a flawless 2.60-carat sapphire lay hidden for millennia. Born from volcanic lava flows that cooled and solidified into magnificent corundum deposits, this gemstone would embark on an extraordinary journey toward its inevitable destiny to captivate and inspire. Throughout history, Ceylonese sapphires have adorned the crowns and jewels of royalty, their allure rooted in their intense color and unmatched purity. Our sapphire is no exception, with a vivid color intensity that rivals the azure skies over coastal horizons.

Once unearthed by skilled miners honoring the rich traditions of Ceylonese gem lore, this sapphire's potent blue hue hinted at the exceptional brilliance awaiting within. At The Natural Sapphire Company, our master craftspeople embraced the responsibility of breathing life into this stone's potential, choosing a mixed brilliant cut to accentuate its natural beauty and fire. The sapphire was painstakingly faceted, with each incision revealing a unique aspect of its character: clarity so exceptional one could find no flaw to mar its transparent beauty when observed at eye level. As the sapphire emerged from the precise hands of our lapidaries, its extraordinary brilliance soon became apparent.

What makes this gemstone stand as a testament to excellence is not only its origin and geological history but the impeccable craftsmanship it has endured. What was once hidden beneath Sri Lanka’s earthen floors is now an extraordinary centerpiece, rendered into a symphony of luminous facets as the light dances across its surface. With dimensions that encapsulate both grandeur and grace at 8.21 x 7.94 x 5.22 mm, this sapphire demands a place of prominence. It serves as a true focal point in any collection, whether framed by elegant jewelry or as a unique collector’s haunted trophy. As you caress its cool surface and peer into its depths, you are connected not only to its creation story but to the essence of The Natural Sapphire Company, where we endeavor to bridge the gap between wonder and wearer, nature and human craft in every piece we present.
