2.54 Ct. Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.54 carat heart shape orange sapphire measures 7.19 x 8.10 x 5.43 mm, and is cut with a mixed brilliant cut that combines a brilliant style crown with a faceted pavilion designed for controlled light return. The mixed brilliant configuration yields a dense pattern of scintillation on the crown, while the pavilion facet architecture enhances internal reflections and contributes to a lively play of light across the table. Facet junctions are crisp, and the excellent polish produces high surface luster and minimal light leakage. The stone is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, and its transparency allows uninterrupted passage of light into the body of the gem, maximizing both brilliance and color saturation. Color is classified as vivid in intensity, with warm orange hue and strong saturation typical of high quality Ceylon sapphires, and the gem has been stabilized through routine heat treatment, a standard enhancement for improving color and clarity in Sri Lankan material.

The size and clarity of this heart shape sapphire make it exceptionally well suited to a bold statement piece, as the 2.54 carat weight presents a commanding presence without compromising wearability for rings or pendants. The heart outline exhibits balanced lobes and a well defined cleft, attributes that are essential for symmetry driven settings, and the mixed brilliant faceting ensures lively scintillation even under ambient lighting. Because the gem is eye clean, it displays its vivid color across the entire face of the stone without distraction from internal features, a quality that is particularly desirable in designs that rely on large open tables and minimal metal intrusion, such as solitaires or low halo settings. Corundum hardness and the stability of heat treatment make this sapphire suitable for everyday wear, and the excellent polish and facet execution will interact attractively with prong or bezel work. For buyers who value technical precision and refined craftsmanship, The Natural Sapphire Company offers bespoke mounting services to complement the gem proportions and to optimize light performance, and the stone is available with full documentation upon request.
