1.50 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One remarkable treasure awaits the discerning collector, a superb transparent 1.50 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, offered with the exacting standards and provenance that define The Natural Sapphire Company. This gem measures 6.60 x 6.43 x 3.84 mm, its faceted silhouette fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that balances fire and depth with graceful precision. The clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, ensuring that the stone retains a lofty degree of transparency and a pure window into its inner life. With a medium color intensity and an excellent polish, this sapphire presents a tone that is both immediately arresting and eminently wearable, a refined blue that reads as tasteful rather than ostentatious. The enhancement is heat treated, a time honored and widely accepted practice that harmonizes color while preserving the natural character of the crystal. Originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries with it the storied elegance of one of the world’s most celebrated sources of fine blue sapphires.

To behold this cushion sapphire is to appreciate the artistry of lapidary craft, the way each facet has been arranged to coax scintillation and soft flashes of cornflower like blue across its table and pavilion. The mixed brilliant cut invites dynamic interplay between brilliant facets at the crown and precise pavilion facets that return light with a crisp, lively demeanor. At 6.60 x 6.43 mm the stone sits comfortably as a center gem for a refined engagement ring, a statement ring, or a pendant that balances presence with subtlety. The excellent polish amplifies the surface brilliance, while the very slightly included clarity grade, visible only under careful scrutiny, ensures that the stone reads as clean to the eye, a feature that collectors prize because it speaks to both rarity and enduring beauty. The cushion outline offers a vintage sensibility that is simultaneously modern when set in a pared back mount, making this sapphire an exemplar of timeless elegance that complements both day and evening attire.
