1.99 Ct. Color Change Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This elegant 1.99 carat pear shape color change sapphire from Ceylon combines rarity and practical proportions in a way that stands out from the usual market offerings. At 7.89 x 5.80 x 5.97 mm, this gem sits in a sweet spot for custom jewelry, large enough to provide a commanding presence, yet compact enough for comfortable daily wear. The mixed brilliant cut balances scintillation and depth, and the excellent polish ensures maximum light return. With a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the stone displays minimal internal features that do not detract from its visual impact, unlike many commercial sapphires that are heavily included or require clarity enhancing treatments. Perhaps most importantly, this sapphire is unenhanced, a quality that is significantly rarer and more desirable than the heat treated or filled stones commonly found today. The medium color intensity shows the color change effect vividly under different lighting conditions, offering a dynamic appearance that gives it uniqueness and long term desirability compared with ordinary single color sapphires.

For custom jewelry, the pear shape and the specific proportions of this stone deliver unmatched versatility and design advantage. Pear shapes elongate and flatter the finger, making this gem ideal for a solitaire engagement ring, a dramatic halo setting, or an elegant pendant that plays with orientation and movement. Compared with round or cushion stones of similar carat weight, this pear shape presents a more elongated face up area, offering the sensation of a larger looking center while maintaining excellent depth at 5.97 mm for secure mounting. The mixed brilliant cut provides both fire and brilliance, which means settings with open galleries or light enhancing prongs will amplify its color change effect. Origin from Ceylon lends this sapphire a pedigree associated with fine hue and clarity, and the lack of enhancement assures authenticity and long term value.
