The cushion-shaped greenish blue sapphire at the heart of our offering presents a remarkable testament to the artistry of gemstone cutting. Weighing 0.81 carats and boasting dimensions of 6.46 x 5.32 x 2.76 mm, this sapphire is crafted with a mixed brilliant cut, a technique that enhances its natural brilliance and scintillation. Each facet of the gemstone is meticulously shaped to optimize light return, creating an exquisite dance of light and color.

Sourced from the renowned sapphire mines of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, this gemstone is steeped in a rich tradition of excellence. Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their exceptional clarity and the unique hues they embody, and this particular stone is no exception. Its greenish blue tones speak to the tropical ocean waters surrounding the island, while its provenance guarantees a piece that embodies both historical prestige and contemporary allure. With an excellent polish applied, the surface of the gem is refined to a mirror-like sheen, enabling it to capture light from every angle and enhancing its natural color depth and intensity.

In the realm of custom jewelry creation, this exquisite sapphire shines brightly as a centerpiece, yet its beauty will also complement a myriad of other gems in harmonious custom designs. When paired with complementary gemstones such as verdant emeralds or luminous diamonds, the sapphire's inherent qualities are brought to the forefront, creating a symphony of color and light. For a bold composition, consider setting this sapphire alongside warm pink or orange sapphires, creating a vivid tapestry of contrasting hues that enhances the unique personality of each stone. Alternatively, pastels such as light pink tourmalines or mint-green tsavorites provide a more subtle companionship, drawing out the cooler attributes of the sapphire's blue-green palette.

The versatility of this sapphire ensures it cannot only hold its own within an elaborate suite but also adapt gracefully to minimalist settings.
