A singular treasure from the storied gem fields of Ceylon awaits the discerning collector, a 2.53 carat emerald cut bi color sapphire that speaks in the refined language of light. Certified Other, Blue, this transparent stone bears the hallmark of Sri Lankan origin, a provenance that has long been synonymous with exceptional color and clarity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this sapphire as an objet d art, a jewel that does not merely adorn, but announces an aesthetic sensibility that is both cultivated and rare. Its presence is at once restrained and commanding, an achievement to own, a statement of taste that belongs to those who appreciate the rarified intersection of natural beauty and meticulous craftsmanship.

The gem measures 8.06 millimeters by 6.85 millimeters by 4.66 millimeters, an elegant footprint that balances presence with wearability, and it is fashioned in an emerald cut that amplifies the sapphire s inherent sophistication. The step facets produce a sequence of mirrored planes, creating a hall of reflection that rewards a measured gaze. Clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a grade that ensures the stone reads as luminous and clean to the naked eye, while retaining the natural identifiers that confirm its authenticity. The polish is excellent, each facet meeting its neighbor with crispness and precision, allowing the surface to behave as a perfect stage for the interplay of color and light. This sapphire has been heat treated, a customary enhancement that refines and stabilizes the color without diminishing the gem s innate character, and it arrives with the assurance that comes from careful, ethical sourcing and expert handling.

What sets this stone apart is its bi color nature, a rare and captivating trait that allows it to shift its persona with changes in lighting and perspective. In broad daylight the sapphire offers a medium light color intensity, a serene blue that leans toward the pure spectrum without overwhelming saturation, a hue that feels like a clear tropical sky reflected in calm water. Under direct sunlight the step facets ignite with a restrained brilliance, the long emerald facets producing faint flash patterns and a deepening of tone toward the pavilion, creating a perception of depth that invites close inspection. When the light softens to morning or late afternoon sun, warm highlights trace the facet edges, revealing a subtle secondary tone that lends complexity to the color, an inner life that reveals itself slowly to those who linger.

Transitioning to artificial light, the gem reveals other facets of its charm, becoming an object of drama in any evening setting. Under modern cool white LED lighting the blue sharpens, clarity and contrast rising, and the emerald cut s lines cutting a geometric elegance that pairs beautifully with contemporary settings. In incandescent or warmer tungsten illumination the sapphire adopts a gentle, embracing warmth, the medium light hue taking on a slightly richer appearance, while the bi color quality becomes more evident, as flashes of cooler blue alternate with softer, almost silvery reflections. In candlelight the gem transforms into a whispered luxury, the step facets reflecting flickers into soft rectangles, and the stone s depth becomes more pronounced, a quiet glow that speaks of private dinners and intimate evenings. Against stage or gallery lighting, the sapphire becomes a jewel of personality, its polished facets producing selective brilliance as spotlights catch the upper planes, making the stone read as both luminous and elegantly controlled.

Set in a minimalist platinum bezel, the emerald cut will read with architectural grace, the long lines of the cut echoing clean metalwork for a modern connoisseur. Mounted with accent diamonds, the step facets will frame the sapphire with scintillating contrast, each small brilliant acting as punctuation to the stone s serene expression.
