2.02 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Throughout history, the allure of gemstones has captivated hearts and inspired legends. Among these treasures, the green sapphire stands distinguished in both beauty and legacy. The exquisite transparent 2.02-carat cushion-shaped green sapphire we present maintains this rich heritage while adding its own chapter to the timeless saga of precious stones. This particular gem measures 9.47 x 6.96 x 3.20 millimeters, perfectly proportioned to catch the eye and hold its gaze. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, it sparkles with a life of its own, emanating a brilliant symphony of light as it reflects the vibrant spirit of nature captured within its depths.

Originating from the enchanting island nation of Ceylon, today known as Sri Lanka, this green sapphire carries with it the storied past of a land famed for its gemstones. For centuries, Sri Lanka has been a revered source of sapphires, earning an esteemed reputation for its ew firmament. Entrenched in ancient trade routes, these sapphires were as much a part of royal adornments as they were objects of fascination for gem purveyors worldwide. The legendary mines of Ceylon, nourished by ancient volcanic activity, continue to produce sapphires that are treasured for their exceptional quality and characteristic color.

The medium color intensity of this precious stone perfectly embodies the verdant splendor for which green sapphires are beloved. The richness of its hue echoes the forests and flora that cover the landscapes from which it emerged. As its centerpiece, this sapphire speaks to its admirers through every glimmer and facet. Further enhancing its allure is its clarity, graded as very slightly included at eye level. This ensures an elegant transparency through which its vibrant green fires catch and caress the light in a gentle, mesmerising dance. Expertly polished to an excellent finish, each surface of the stone reflects an unparalleled brilliance, reminiscent of a dew-kissed emerald garden at dawn.

In terms of durability, sapphires are highly valued not just for their beauty but also for their robust nature. Ranking at nine on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, sapphires are surpassed only by diamonds, making this green sapphire an ideal choice for jewelry that withstands the wear of daily life while retaining its exquisite charm. Whether crafted into a ring, a pendant, or a brooch, its steadfast resilience ensures that its legacy will endure as it is passed down through generations, always maintaining its luster and vivacity.
