2.08 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent heart shape sapphire weighs 2.08 carat, with precise dimensions of 8.12 x 8.60 x 4.13 mm, and is cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style, meticulously proportioned to balance scintillation and color saturation. The cutter has executed the heart outline with careful symmetry, producing well defined lobes, a crisp cleft, and a distinct point, features that are technically demanding in a fancy shape of this size. The mixed brilliant faceting places brilliant facets on the crown to maximize sparkle, while the pavilion faceting is tuned to deepen the greenish blue hue characteristic of Ceylon sapphires, contributing to an intense color intensity. Measured against the average of length and width, the stone presents a depth of approximately 49.4 percent, a range that optimizes light return without compromising face up color. Clarity is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, meaning no inclusions are visible to the naked eye, and the excellent polish enhances facet junction sharpness and overall brilliance. The sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines tone and removes silk to reveal cleaner crystal structure, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for vivid, saturated sapphires.

Because of its generous 2.08 carat weight, heart shape presence, and eye clean clarity, this sapphire is ideal for a statement piece, offering both visual impact and technical refinement. The combination of intense greenish blue color and mixed brilliant faceting produces a lively dance of light across the pavilion and crown, suitable for a solitaire ring or a pendant where table size and heart outline read clearly at a distance. Mounting in platinum or 18 karat white gold will emphasize the cooler blue tones and preserve optical contrast, while yellow or rose gold will create a bold contrast that brings forward the green component of the hue. For bespoke settings, a delicate halo of small brilliant cut diamonds will amplify perceived size without diluting the clean face up color. This gemstone represents the craftsmanship and gemological standards of The Natural Sapphire Company, offering a technically excellent, eye clean, intensely colored Ceylon sapphire that makes a confident and elegant centerpiece.
