0.45 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This magnificent transparent 0.45 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, with precise measurements of 4.55 x 4.14 x 2.46 mm, presents an intense Ceylon blue that seems to glow from within. Cut to a mixed brilliant faceting and finished with an excellent polish, this gem combines the scintillation of modern cutting with the classic silhouette of the cushion shape. Its clarity is graded very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a testament to its natural purity, and it has undergone no enhancement, a rarity among sapphires on the market today. Sourced from the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this stone embodies provenance and pedigree in a size that lends itself to bespoke design work, whether as a refined solitaire, a delicate cluster accent, or the centerpiece of a custom engagement ring. At 0.45 carat this sapphire is subtle in scale yet monumental in presence, offering an intimate brilliance that only a hand selected, unheated Ceylon sapphire can provide.

In the same breath as legendary gems such as the Logan Sapphire, famed for its cornflower blue, and the Star of India, renowned for its history and striking hue, this cushion sapphire offers its own unique proposition. Unlike larger museum pieces that are celebrated for scale, this gem compresses that historic blue intensity into a petite, wearable form, and its mixed brilliant cut releases light in a lively pulse that recalls the fire of the finest table cut stones. Its unenhanced nature elevates its rarity, because many Ceylon sapphires undergo heat treatment to stabilize or deepen color. The result is a stone whose color, clarity and polish speak to authenticity, and whose small footprint invites a high degree of customization for discerning clients who seek singularity. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this rare 0.45 carat Ceylon cushion sapphire as a limited opportunity to own an unheated jewel with historic lineage in a contemporary cut, a piece destined to become a personal treasure for an elite collector.
