2.58 Ct. Bi Color / Parti Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This sapphire presents as a transparent, bi color, parti stone of 2.58 carat, cut in an emerald shape with precise faceting. The cut dimensions are 7.58 x 6.38 x 5.62 mm, and the cutting style is faceted using the classical step facets associated with the emerald form. Color intensity is light, allowing the delicate bi color character to remain visible across the table and through the pavilion. Clarity has been assessed as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the gem exhibits an excellent polish across all facets. There has been no enhancement to this material, and the origin has been confirmed as Ceylon, Sri Lanka. These attributes combine to present a stone that balances presence with refined optical subtlety.

The combination of weight and face up dimensions gives this sapphire a definitive presence suitable for a statement piece. At 2.58 carat and with a table and length that read as substantial in hand, the stone occupies enough visual field to anchor a design without requiring exaggerated mounting. The emerald cut emphasizes the broad, open table and produces long, mirrored facet planes that make the bi color zoning legible even at a distance. Because the color intensity is light, the two tones of the parti sapphire can shift and read differently depending on viewing angle and light source, which enhances the dynamism of the piece when set in a ring, pendant, or brooch. The depth of 5.62 mm supports the step facet geometry while maintaining a low profile that sits well against the skin, reinforcing the stone as a focal element in the design.

Clarity and finish play an important role in how a gemstone reads as a statement piece, and this sapphire demonstrates a high level of gemological integrity. Very slightly included at eye level means that inclusions are minor, and they do not compete with the stones optical behavior when mounted and worn. The excellent polish ensures that light travels across the facet planes with minimal surface diffusion, preserving the crisp hall of mirrors effect characteristic of well executed emerald cuts. The sapphires transparency further allows internal color zoning to remain unobscured, which is particularly important in parti material where the interplay between tones is the defining aesthetic. The absence of enhancement confirms the stones natural surface and internal condition, an attribute that contributes to its suitability for discerning, design forward settings. The Ceylon provenance is consistent with sapphires that display a refined, often subtle palette and good crystallographic quality.

For practical design considerations, the stones size, shape, and clarity suggest several appropriate mounting strategies. The emerald cut benefits from settings that protect the corners while allowing the table to sit open to light, so low bezel with corner protection or a four prong setting with guarded corners will both highlight the elongated facets and provide secure wear. As a statement gem, it reads well in a solitary setting, and it also coordinates with accent stones that follow the step facet logic, such as tapered baguettes, where the geometry complements rather than competes with the center. The sapphires hardness and durability make it suitable for daily wear when set properly. When commissioning a setting, take into account the stones 7.58 x 6.38 mm table dimensions to ensure a precise fit and to preserve the facet alignment for optimal light performance. The Natural Sapphire Company can provide further documentation of origin, weight, cut, and clarity, which supports both design planning and long term care considerations.
