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

Before you, reserved for the discerning collector, is an extraordinary Ceylon sapphire offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, a stone that speaks quietly of rarity and refinement. This transparent 2.80 carat oval sapphire measures 9.09 by 7.63 by 4.99 millimetres, a size that is both graceful and commanding when set. Its yellowish green hue is rendered with vivid color intensity, an uncommon and compelling shade that shifts with body and light. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to marry scintillation and depth, producing lively return and layered brilliance that reveal new facets of character with each turn. With an excellent polish and no enhancement, this gem remains wholly natural, its surface and internal life preserved exactly as the earth intended. Owning this sapphire is not merely an acquisition, it is an invitation to belong to a small circle of collectors who prize the authentic and the singular.

Look closely and you will appreciate how the cutting and natural color work in concert to produce a sense of movement and presence. From head on the oval face-up offers an elegant, balanced outline that flatters both classic and contemporary designs, while the mixed brilliant pavilion evokes a play of light that enhances the vivid yellowish green tones. At different angles the gem presents a gentle interplay of brighter green flashes and warmer yellow undertones, a dynamic personality that makes it ideal for a bespoke piece intended to be noticed without announcing itself loudly. The dimensions of 9.09 by 7.63 millimetres give a commanding face-up area that reads larger than its weight might suggest in the right setting, and the excellent polish ensures uninterrupted light travel across each facet, maximizing brilliance and finish. This is a stone that was cut with intention and respect for its natural color zoning and optical character, resulting in a refined balance between fire and depth.

The internal inclusions of this sapphire are its fingerprint, subtle markers of authenticity and origin that contribute to its individuality and provenance. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, the stone retains transparency and sparkle while carrying delicate internal features that tell a geological story. These inclusions may appear as tiny pinpoint crystals or faint, needle-like growth traces and occasional, gentle zoning lines that are natural to sapphires formed deep within Ceylon’s metamorphic terrain. Rather than detracting, these features add texture and soul, offering connoisseurs visual proof of a natural history that cannot be replicated by synthetic processes. Because the sapphire is unenhanced, those inclusions remain untouched, a record of the high temperatures and pressures under which the stone formed and the shifting mineral environment it experienced as it developed. For the collector who values natural provenance and the subtle narrative each stone carries, these internal characteristics transform the sapphire from mere material into a unique, wearable archive of the earth’s craftsmanship.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem as a rare opportunity to commission something truly personal, whether a solitary statement ring that showcases its oval silhouette, a refined halo piece that amplifies its vivid hue, or a bespoke design that responds to its particular color play and inclusion pattern. Because each stone is unique, opportunities to own a sapphire of this precise size, color intensity and natural, unenhanced condition from Ceylon are limited, and we curate such pieces for clients seeking distinction. We are happy to provide additional gemological information and photography, and to discuss custom setting options that will maximise both protection and visual impact. When you choose this sapphire, you are acquiring more than a jewel, you are securing an item whose character is singular and whose scarcity is real. Allow us to guide you through a personalised design consultation, ensuring this exceptional 2.80 carat yellowish green sapphire becomes a signature heirloom for generations to come.
