The price of 2 carat blue sapphire in India ranges from INR 20,000 to INR 2,50,000 or more, depending on various quality factors. The genuine neelam stone price depends on its color, clarity, cut, origin, and whether the stone is treated or untreated.

Color

The best quality blue sapphires display a rich, velvety royal blue to cornflower blue color. In addition to this they have a strong saturation and brilliance. A 2 carat sapphire with a medium to deep blue tone and high transparency is considered top quality. Too dark or too light stones may appear dull and are valued lower.

Cut

Natural Blue sapphires are typically cut to enhance their luster and color while maintaining weight. Common cuts for 2-carat sapphires include oval, cushion, emerald, and round. A precise, symmetrical cut not only improves the stone’s brilliance but also makes it more attractive and wearable in rings and pendants.

Clarity

Top-quality blue sapphires have an excellent transparency along with very few visible inclusions. While minor inclusions are common, a 2-carat sapphire with good clarity (free of visible cracks or clouds) is far more desirable. Stones with excessive inclusions can appear hazy and are less durable.

Origin

Origin plays a vital role in shaping both the price and appeal of a blue sapphire.

• Most Expensive: Kashmiri sapphires are highly sought after for their luxurious velvety texture and stunning cornflower blue color. Although they are quite rare and mostly antique, they tend to fetch high prices in the market.
• High Value: The blue sapphires sourced from Burma and Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) are celebrated for their striking blue hue and impressive clarity. A 2-carat Ceylon sapphire is particularly popular, thanks to its beauty and astrological significance.
• Affordable Range: Thai, African and Madagascar blue sapphires are more budget-friendly options and they also come in larger quantities. While they might be a bit darker or treated, they still provide great quality for those looking to save a little money.
