2.42 ct Blue Sapphire - Pear

At 2.42 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its blue color through a pear cut, measuring 8.7 x 6.3 x 5.4 mm.

As a member of the corundum family, sapphire pairs deep color with a hardness that makes it one of the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. Sri Lanka has produced fine sapphire in every color for two thousand years, prized for transparency and life in the stone. It is heat-treated, the common and honest preparation for most sapphire and ruby on the market, disclosed on every listing.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
