2.47 Ct. Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The story of our exquisite 2.47 carat fancy shape blue sapphire begins in the lush and mystical landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. This island, renowned for its abundant natural beauty, cradles one of the world’s most prestigious gemstone deposits. In the heart of ancient mines, where time seems to stand still, this sapphire was discovered. The depths of the earth yielded a treasure, a stone born from the fusion of titanic elemental forces and the gentle, ceaseless flow of time. Each facet of this gem is a tribute to nature’s artistry, capturing the vibrant spirit of its origin. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we cherish these stories preserved in sapphire.

Our craftspeople, respecting the narrative encased within the stone, opted to maintain its rough crystal cut. This choice emphasizes the gem’s authentic contours with dimensions of 15.70 x 4.50 x 4.00 mm, a testament to its raw, untouched allure. Its very very slightly included clarity allows the stone to maintain a look of pristine transparency, unveiling an uninterrupted play of light across its surface. The medium color intensity imparts a serene yet striking blue, akin to a calm sea mirroring the boundless sky. Polished to excellence, the sapphire’s glow invites all to share in its timeless elegance.

Imagine this sapphire as a centerpiece in a custom jewelry piece, surrounded by complementary gemstones such as sparkling diamonds or subtle white topaz. The diamonds would provide a dazzling frame, highlighting the deep blue with contrasting brilliance, much like stars accentuate the midnight sky. Meanwhile, pairing with white topaz offers a more understated elegance, emphasizing purity and grace. The combination establishes a harmonious balance, a poetic dance that tells of the earth’s hidden spectacles fashioned in the hands of skillful artisans.

This gemstone, with its unique shape and vibrant hues, effortlessly fuses modern aesthetics with ancestral grandeur. Mount it in a custom-designed ring or pendant and it will exude sophistication and grace. The connection between the blue sapphire and its complementary gems forms an emblem of unity and harmony. Set in platinum or white gold, the piece will feel endlessly contemporary and exceptionally timeless, a comfortable fit with both formal and casual attire.

With each purchase, we at The Natural Sapphire Company offer not merely a gemstone, but an invitation to partake in history and heritage. Each gleam of this sapphire serves as a whisper of ancient tales from its birthplace, a constant reminder of nature’s unending marvel. Our stones, much like the legends they carry, are everlasting, destined to become treasures passed from one generation to next, each new bearer adding their chapter to the stone's enduring odyssey.
