Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 2.68 carat blue sapphire in a cushion cut, from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), heat treated, with a GIA report. At 2.68 carats with GIA documentation and Ceylon origin confirmed, this stone sits in the range where all three premium factors — size above 2 carats, certified origin, and major lab documentation — combine in a single stone. The cushion cut deepens the Ceylon blue saturation and creates the warm, glowing quality that makes cushion-cut blue sapphire the most historically resonant center stone format.
Why Choose this 2.68 ct GIA Ceylon Blue Sapphire?
Ceylon blue sapphire above 2 carats with GIA documentation represents a meaningful tier above the commercial sub-1-carat market. The cushion cut is the format most associated with the finest Ceylon blue sapphires historically — the cut that the Duchess of Cambridge's engagement ring popularized globally, and the shape that most effectively showcases the deep, glowing saturation of vivid Ceylon blue. The GIA report provides independent confirmation of origin, weight, and treatment status.
