2.90 Ct. Orangish Brown Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.90 carat cushion shape orangish brown sapphire from Ceylon is a finely proportioned example of natural, untreated gem material, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone measures 9.52 x 6.86 x 4.40 millimeters, producing a length to width ratio of approximately 1.39, which gives the cushion a subtly elongated profile that is elegant for both classic and contemporary settings. The color reads as a rich orangish brown with intense color intensity, evenly distributed across the table and pavilion, producing a warm and complex face up presence that is unmistakably Ceylon in character. Origin verification to Sri Lanka supports the expected vibrancy and slight silkiness typical of fine Ceylon sapphires, and no enhancement has been applied, ensuring the tone and saturation are entirely natural.

Cut and finish are where this sapphire truly distinguishes itself, with a mixed brilliant faceting scheme that combines a brilliant style crown and a pavilion modified for sparkle and fire. The faceted execution emphasizes scintillation and light return, with crown facets calibrated to balance brilliance and dispersion, and pavilion facets arranged to maximize contrast and lively flash without sacrificing overall brightness. The measured depth of 4.40 millimeters against the mean diameter of about 8.19 millimeters yields a depth ratio near 54 percent, which favors strong spread and a commanding table presence while maintaining robust light performance. The clarity grade at slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicates minor natural features that do not detract from the gem s overall visual impact, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and mirror like surfaces that enhance both sheen and facet definition.

For the connoisseur seeking a standout centerpiece, this sapphire offers technical refinement and museum quality allure, ready to be mounted as a statement ring, pendant, or part of a curated collection. The combination of an expertly executed mixed brilliant cut, intense natural color, and verified Ceylon origin makes it a compelling acquisition for collectors and designers who prioritize provenance and untreated material. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this transparent 2.90 carat cushion sapphire as a distinguished example of skilled lapidary work and natural gem beauty, ideally suited to become a focal point in any finely appointed jewelry piece.
