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

This GIA certified, transparent, bluish violet color change sapphire presents a refined combination of rarity and gemological quality, suitable for a lasting family heirloom. The stone weighs 2.70 carats and is cut in a radiant shape with dimensions of 7.15 by 7.11 by 5.63 mm, a proportion that balances presence with wearability. The cut and excellent polish have been executed to maximize the gem curving light and emphasizing both brilliance and the distinct color change from bluish violet to purple. Clarity is graded as eye clean at eye level, allowing the vivid color intensity to command attention without visible inclusions, and the sapphire is unenhanced, an important factor for long term stability and provenance. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region with a well documented history of producing sapphires with strong color and clarity, and the GIA certification provides an independent record of the stone characteristics.

As an heirloom candidate this sapphire combines inherent durability, verifiable documentation, and aesthetic versatility that support multi generational use. Sapphire is corundum with a Mohs hardness of nine, a material property that resists everyday wear and preserves facet integrity over decades, and the lack of enhancement reduces concerns about treatments that can alter appearance with time. The radiant cut offers a classic yet contemporary silhouette that can be set in a variety of mounting styles from a secure bezel to a traditional prong setting, making it appropriate for rings, pendants, or brooches that can be restyled for successive owners. The documented color change phenomenon enhances the gem narrative, providing a distinctive visual characteristic that can be described and referenced in family records. When combined with the GIA report and origin documentation provided by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire carries a clear provenance that supports both sentimental transfer and future appraisal. With routine gentle cleaning and professional inspections at intervals, the physical and documented attributes of this sapphire make it a robust choice to be cared for, passed down, and appreciated across generations.
