1.18 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.18 carat cushion shape blue sapphire carries with it the quiet dignity of centuries of admiration, a gemstone born in the storied soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka. Its dimensions of 6.80 x 5.00 x 3.80 mm give it a presence that is at once elegant and substantial, ideal for a classic solitaire or a vintage inspired setting. Faceted with a mixed brilliant cut and finished to an excellent polish, this stone catches and returns light in a way that recalls old world gem cutting while embracing modern brilliance. The vivid color intensity evokes the deep tropical skies of its island origin, and the clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level assures that the gem reads as clean and luminous to the naked eye. Heat treated to enhance its natural beauty, this sapphire remains a genuine piece of the earth, transparent and full of inner life, a gem that reflects both geological history and human craftsmanship.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we have long cherished gemstones that bridge eras and become family treasures, and this cushion blue sapphire is such a stone. Sapphires are corundum and are among the hardest of gemstones on the Mohs scale at 9, a quality that ensures this gem will withstand daily wear and continue to captivate through generations. When set in a ring pendant or classic stud earrings this sapphire will maintain its vivid hue and lively scintillation, acquiring the soft patina of wear while preserving its core brilliance. Its mixed brilliant faceting offers lively fire and a depth that turns heads without shouting for attention, making it perfect for someone who values tradition and enduring style. We invite you to imagine this Ceylon sapphire passed down, admired as a link to the past and a gift to the future, a timeless emblem of devotion and taste available through The Natural Sapphire Company.
