For practical wear and design this cushion shape sapphire is exceptionally versatile, suitable for a delicate solitaire setting that highlights its cushion outline and color, or for a halo or three stone design where surrounding diamonds can enhance the gem’s luminous center, and the 6.99 x 4.82 x 4.15 mm dimensions make it comfortable for daily wear while retaining a statement quality. The mixed brilliant cut brings together the scintillation of a brilliant style with the soft silhouette of a cushion, so under daylight and warmer indoor lighting the stone reads as a lively, deep blue that catches the eye without overwhelming. Its very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level reassures you that the stone offers a pleasingly open window to its color, and the excellent polish means each facet has been finished to maximize return of light and to resist dulling with everyday use. Origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka contributes to its desirability, as Ceylon sapphires are prized for a particular blue character that ranges from vivid to velvety and often carries an appealing vitality, and when mounted in platinum or a warm gold tone this sapphire will complement a range of design directions, giving you the freedom to choose a setting that reflects personal taste and lifestyle.

Beyond its visible beauty, many people seek sapphires for their metaphysical and healing associations, and this Ceylon blue sapphire is well aligned with those traditional meanings.
