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

This 1.17 carat cushion shape bluish green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a rare balance of color and clarity that stands out when compared to many options on the market, many of which have been heat treated or otherwise enhanced. Measuring 7.46 x 4.95 x 3.50 mm, this gem has a mixed brilliant cut that combines scintillation with depth, and an excellent polish that maximizes light return. The sapphire shows medium color intensity that reads as a sophisticated bluish green in daylight and indoor lighting, and the clarity grade is slightly included evaluated at eye level, which gives the gem character without distracting from its brilliance. Most commercially available sapphires in this price bracket have undergone stability treatments, yet this stone is unenhanced, with no enhancement, directly from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source famed for producing lively, natural tones. That provenance matters, because Ceylon sapphires often exhibit a luminous, watery saturation that differs from the denser saturation of stones from other origins, and collectors and connoisseurs will recognize the distinction immediately.

In everyday wear this cushion sapphire translates beautifully from casual to formal settings, offering versatility that many single tone gems cannot match. Paired with a simple bezel or four prong setting, it becomes a refined everyday ring that complements denim and business casual attire, while set in a halo or paired with diamonds it transforms into an elegant statement for evening events and formal occasions. Compared to colorless alternatives, this bluish green sapphire brings personality while maintaining classic appeal, and compared to heavily treated stones on the market it offers long term value because no enhancement means fewer concerns about future care or stability. The mixed brilliant cut enhances fire and makes the most of its medium intensity, so you see lively sparkle as you move, even though the stone remains modest in weight and perfectly wearable. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize responsibly sourced, natural gems, and this untreated Ceylon sapphire represents a superior choice for buyers who want authenticity, beauty, and versatility in one exceptional stone.
