1.42 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This cushion shaped blue sapphire arrives like a quiet sea under moonlight, a transparent heart of deep Ceylon blue weighing 1.42 carat, measuring 7.01 by 5.69 by 3.53 millimeters. Its vivid color intensity pulls the eye into a serene ocean of hue, while the slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, lends the stone a living authenticity, a reminder that this gem was born from the earth. Heat treated to bring out the richest tones, this faceted gem carries the heritage of Sri Lanka, each facet reflecting the careful hands that shaped it into a jewel of calm and fire.

The mixed brilliant cut is where poetry becomes physics, where form and light make music. A blend of brilliant facets on the crown and graceful step elements on the pavilion creates an interplay of flashes and depth, causing light to dance and linger within the blue, then return to the viewer as scintillating pulses and deep velvety flashes. The cushion silhouette softens the geometry, rounding light into ribbons across the table while the faceted shoulders break beams into lively stars, amplifying both brilliance and color saturation. With an excellent polish, each facet behaves like a tiny mirror, increasing light return and sharpening contrast so that even subtle internal features become part of the stone s visual tapestry rather than imperfections. The result is a sapphire that seems to hold an inner horizon, brightened by pinpoint sparkle and warmed by its saturated, vivid color.

Worn close to the skin, this gem becomes a private sunrise, a promise held in blue, perfectly suited for a ring meant to speak of devotion and timeless beauty. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this Ceylon treasure as a piece that balances technical excellence with romantic soul, a sapphire that responds to movement and light with gentle drama. If you seek a stone that feels both rare and intimate, a cushion form that flatters the hand and a mixed brilliant cut that magnifies every whisper of light, this sapphire is ready to be set into the story you will tell for a lifetime.
