1.04 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A gem with ancient resonance and modern refinement, this cushion shaped sapphire from Ceylon speaks to a tradition of beauty that spans centuries. Sapphires have been treasured by royalty and travelers alike for their depth and resilience, and this 1.04 carat bluish green sapphire carries that legacy with a contemporary clarity. Measuring 5.88 x 5.32 x 3.41 millimeters, the stone is transparent and cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance classic form and lively brilliance. Its intense color intensity manifests as a rich interplay of blue and green, a hue that reads both ocean deep and forest cool depending on the light. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone presents a clean, appealing face up appearance that enhances its natural allure. With an excellent polish and a stable heat treatment enhancement, this sapphire arrives ready to be set into a piece that will endure, and it is offered through The Natural Sapphire Company with the provenance of Ceylon, a source long associated with some of the world most coveted sapphires.

What makes this sapphire especially compelling is how its vibrant bluish green tone will stand out in any jewelry setting, whether you choose a pared back solitaire or a richly detailed vintage mounting. The cushion silhouette carries a timelessness that flatters every finger or pendant, while the mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return to animate that intense color from every angle. In a white metal setting the bluish green will appear crisp and luminous, contrasting beautifully with brilliant diamonds to create a striking focal point. In yellow or rose gold, the warmer tones will coax out the green undertones, offering an inviting, antique inspired warmth that suits heirloom style designs. Set as the central stone in an engagement ring, the gem will read substantial and refined at just over one carat, and as a smaller pendant or custom stud design it will draw the eye with the same confident color. The stone sits comfortably within classic design languages, such as halo, three stone, and bezel settings, yet it also lends itself to bespoke creations that celebrate its unique hue and cushion outline.

Beyond its immediate beauty, this sapphire offers the reassurance of durability and thoughtful treatment, making it a natural choice for pieces intended to be worn and admired for generations. Sapphire is one of the hardest naturally occurring gemstones, meaning it resists the daily knocks and rubs that life brings, and the heat treatment disclosed with this gem is a widely accepted and permanent enhancement that deepens tone without compromising structural integrity. The modest inclusions are part of its natural character, and they do not detract from the gem facing outward and catching light with a lively, saturated presence. Choosing this stone from The Natural Sapphire Company means choosing a stone with documented origin and careful craftsmanship, a gem that carries the cultural weight of Ceylon sapphires while fitting seamlessly into modern jeweler s work. Imagine this bluish green cushion set into a classic platinum ring for an enduring statement, or let it anchor a delicate gold pendant that becomes an everyday treasure. For those who value tradition, provenance, and a color that will truly stand out, this sapphire is a rare and ready choice that promises to become a cherished legacy.
