2.00 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.00 carat cushion shape green sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka presents a rare combination of size, color, and natural integrity, and it is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. Measuring 7.12 x 6.83 x 4.65 mm, this gem carries an intense color intensity that is both vivid and balanced across the table and crown, and it shows a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the naked eye while retaining natural character under magnification. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen and executed to maximize the sapphire’s optical performance, and the excellent polish ensures crystalline reflections that are sharp and lively. Importantly there is no enhancement, so the stone is presented in its natural state, a feature that distinguishes it from many market alternatives that rely on heat treatment or other enhancements to achieve comparable color or clarity.

The cut is the most decisive factor in how a sapphire interacts with light, and the mixed brilliant cushion shape here is engineered to enhance both brilliance and depth, setting it apart from step cut cushions and shallow commercial cuts. The mixed brilliant design combines larger, well proportioned facets on the crown with a sparkling array of smaller brilliant facets on the pavilion, allowing the gem to break incoming light into scintillation and return it with high intensity. Large crown facets create broad flashes of saturated green that showcase the stone’s intense hue, while the pavilion’s brilliant facet array acts like a mirror, returning light with lively contrast and a pattern of pinpoint sparkle. Because the pavilion depth is balanced with the table size at professional proportions, light that enters the gem is captured, refracted, and sent back to the viewer instead of leaking out the sides as happens with shallow or deep cuts. The excellent polish refines the edges of each facet so that light transitions are clean and sharp, this increases perceived brightness and makes the green appear more vivid, especially in daylight and mixed lighting conditions. Compared to round brilliants that emphasize white flash, or step cuts that favor color depth over sparkle, this mixed brilliant cushion gives a harmonious interplay of color and fire, producing a presence on the finger or in a setting that feels both luminous and substantial.

When customers compare this Ceylon green sapphire to other market options, several advantages become immediately clear, starting with natural provenance and no enhancement. Many green sapphires offered in the market have undergone heating or diffusion to deepen tone or mask inclusions, treatments that can affect long term value and rarity. This stone’s intense natural color from Sri Lanka, combined with its eye level clarity, delivers both visual impact and enduring rarity. Compared with green gemstones such as emerald, which often contain dense inclusions and require oils or resins to improve appearance, this sapphire offers superior durability and hardness, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear and a practical alternative for engagement jewelry. Against lower quality or poorly cut sapphires, the mixed brilliant cushion here demonstrates superior light return and scintillation, translating to more visible sparkle per carat and a gemstone that reads larger on the finger because of the optimized proportions and facet design.

From the perspective of value and uniqueness, this 2.00 carat cushion green sapphire represents an exceptional balance of aesthetics and integrity, a combination that savvy buyers recognize as rare and desirable. The origin of Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes a distinct color signature, often described as lively and velvety, which in combination with the intense saturation creates a gemstone that photographs and wears beautifully. The clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level ensures the gem looks clean in ordinary viewing situations while keeping it natural and unenhanced, a trade off that many collectors and connoisseurs prefer over flawless but heavily treated alternatives. The polished mixed brilliant cut elevates the stone’s optical performance beyond what is typical in commercial inventory, giving you a green sapphire that competes with and surpasses many alternatives in terms of sparkle, color delivery, and overall presence. For customers seeking a responsibly sourced, naturally beautiful, and technically refined gemstone, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this cushion green sapphire as a superior choice, ideal for custom designs or a standout single stone that will retain its appeal and value over time.
