2.52 Ct. Yellowish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite pear shape sapphire weighs 2.52 carats, with dimensions 9.68 x 7.33 x 4.78 mm, and presents a yellowish green hue that defies convention, making it an instant focus for anyone who appreciates rare refinement. Cut as a mixed brilliant, this gem combines the scintillation of a brilliant crown with carefully calibrated pavilion facets, producing a lively play of light across its surface. Its clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, yet the stone remains remarkably transparent, allowing its intense color to sing with clarity. Polished to an excellent finish, and completely untreated, this Ceylon Sri Lanka sapphire retains the honest provenance and natural integrity that collectors covet. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that true luxury is not merely shown, it is felt, and this stone offers a tactile and visual experience that speaks to both rarity and restraint.

When considering brilliance, it is instructive to compare this sapphire to more familiar gems. Diamonds are often lauded for their fire and brilliance due to high dispersion and a high refractive index, yet their icy whiteness can leave some designs cold. Emeralds enchant with lush depth of color, but their typical included nature and step cutting limit scintillation and light return. Peridot and tourmaline offer lively color, yet they generally lack the combination of refractive response and durability that a sapphire provides. This yellowish green sapphire balances these qualities exceptionally well. The mixed brilliant cut enhances light return and creates a dynamic pattern of flash that rivals the sparkle of many small diamonds while preserving a warm, living color that diamonds cannot replicate. The intense saturation of the stone concentrates the light into vibrant flashes of yellow green, producing a brilliance that is both energetic and sophisticated.

What truly sets this sapphire apart is the confluence of its natural origin, its untreated state, and the excellence of its cutting and polish. Ceylon Sri Lanka has a storied history of producing sapphires prized for their clarity and luminous tones, and this gem carries that legacy. With no enhancement applied, its color and clarity are wholly its own, a feature that significantly elevates value and desirable scarcity. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize both the color and the scintillation, so that the stone reads as alive from every angle. Under direct light the pavilion facets return precise flashes, and in softer illumination the gem adopts a deep, velvety glow, making it impeccably versatile for both daytime elegance and evening drama. The very slightly included clarity gives this sapphire character without detracting from its brilliance, serving as a reminder that this is a natural treasure, not a laboratory perfect simulation.

Envision this pear shape sapphire set as the centerpiece of a ring, or cradled within a bespoke pendant, its yellowish green heart reflecting personal style with confident understatement. At 2.52 carats it is a significant and wearable size that allows designers to create settings that both protect and showcase the gem. For the collector who seeks distinction, for the wearer who desires a stone that communicates cultivated taste, this piece promises provenance, performance, and presence. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this Ceylon sapphire as a singular offering, a jewel that marries geological history with masterful cutting, an object of desire that marks the wearer as someone who recognizes true beauty and rarity.
