1.97 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This marquise green sapphire carries with it the quiet dignity of centuries, a gem shape favored by royalty and artisans for its graceful silhouette and flattering proportions. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this 1.97 carat stone is a living chapter in the long story of Sri Lankan sapphires, stones once traded along ancient routes and treasured by kings and collectors for their uncommon beauty. The marquise form evokes the refined tastes of classical jewelry, an ageless design that complements both heritage settings and modern interpretations. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that legacy by offering this exceptional example, a gem whose vivid green glow speaks to nature and craftsmanship in equal measure.

Carefully cut into a mixed brilliant fashion, this transparent sapphire measures 11.70 by 5.25 by 4.07 millimeters, exhibiting lively brilliance and balance across its length. The mixed brilliant cut allows the pavilion and crown to interact with light for scintillation and depth, while the marquise outline creates a striking optical elongation that flatters the hand when set in rings or the neckline when paired with a pendant. Clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone appears clean to the eye with only minimal internal characteristics that do not detract from its overall beauty. The vivid color intensity and excellent polish further enhance the gem, producing a rich, saturated green that shifts with movement and light. The stone has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines color and transparency while preserving the gem's natural origin and character.

Beyond its aesthetic virtues this green sapphire is an outstanding choice for everyday jewelry because of its inherent durability. Sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, which translates into strong resistance to scratches and surface wear in daily life. With proper setting and routine care this stone will withstand the demands of regular wear in rings bracelets earrings and pendants, holding its polish and color for generations. For those who value tradition durability and undeniable elegance, this marquise green sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka offers a timeless presence and lasting performance, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present it as a gem ready to become part of your enduring collection.
