Sapphire - 2.01 ct - Gem Report Antwerp (GRA) - Blue (Ceylon)

Sapphires are a variety of the mineral corundum, best known for their striking blue tones, although they can come in many colors. The sapphire featured here weighs 2.01 carats and comes with a certification from Gem Report Antwerp (GRA), attesting to its authenticity and quality. Identified as a blue sapphire from Ceylon (modern-day Sri Lanka), this gem likely exhibits the vibrant cornflower blue color characteristic of this region's stones. Ceylon sapphires are prized for their brilliance and lighter, more vivid blue compared to the deeper Royal Blue from Kashmir or the darker tones from Madagascar. Such sapphires are popular in fine jewelry due to their rich history and beautiful color, symbolizing wisdom and nobility. The GRA certification provides assurance for collectors and buyers regarding the gem's origin and properties.
