2.23 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When it comes to selecting a gemstone that embodies both timeless elegance and outstanding durability, the transparent 2.23 carat emerald cut white sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company stands out as an exceptional choice. Unlike many other gemstones available on the market, this sapphire combines classic beauty with the strength necessary for a wide range of jewelry designs, ensuring that it remains a treasured piece for years to come. Its dimensions, 8.48 x 7.55 x 4.31 mm, are crafted to perfection, enhancing the allure of this intricately cut stone.

One of the defining features of this white sapphire is its impressive hardness on the Mohs scale. Scoring a remarkable 9, this makes it the second hardest known gemstone, outclassing many popular stones such as topaz and garnet, which fall lower on the scale. This exceptional hardness means that the sapphire can withstand the daily wear and tear that other stones might not, making it an ideal option for those seeking both extended wearability and elegance. It's comparable only to diamonds, which are rated at a perfect 10, thus positioning our sapphire as a gemstone that provides remarkable durability without compromising on aesthetic appeal.

In terms of clarity, the white sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. This indicates that any inclusions present are scarcely noticeable to the naked eye, a quality that distinguishes it from many other sapphires that may have visible flaws. The colorless intensity of this sapphire further adds to its unique appeal, providing a versatility that allows it to complement any wardrobe or occasion, much like a diamond. Its excellent polish results in a mirror-like finish, enhancing each of its facets and contributing to extraordinary brilliance.

The origin of this exquisite gemstone from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, is not merely a testament to its authenticity but also emphasizes its rarity and uniqueness. Sri Lanka, renowned for producing some of the world's most beautiful sapphires, holds a rich history and deep-seated tradition of gemstone excellence. Many gemstones on the market can lack such prestigious provenance, making our offering from The Natural Sapphire Company truly unmatched in its combination of quality and distinctiveness. By choosing this white sapphire, customers are investing in a piece of artistry and precision, offering unparalleled value not only in gemstone excellence but also in creating a narrative of tradition and elegance for the discerning jewelry connoisseur.
