1.52 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

This GRS certified, 1.52 carat cushion shape blue sapphire from Burma, measures 6.56 by 6.53 by 4.35 mm, and presents a mixed brilliant cut with an excellent polish. The gemstone is transparent with a clarity grade of slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates natural internal characteristics that confirm its untreated origin. The stone shows vivid color intensity, and there is no enhancement, a combination that is increasingly rare and highly desirable among informed buyers. GRS certification provides independent verification of origin and treatment status, offering assurance of authenticity and helping to preserve resale and heirloom value. The cushion outline balances classic proportions with modern presence, and the mixed brilliant faceting is designed to maximize scintillation while maintaining color saturation.

The sapphire’s vivid, deeply saturated blue will stand out in any jewelry setting, whether mounted as a solitaire engagement ring, a halo pendant, or paired with accent diamonds. The rich color reads as vivid even under mixed lighting, and the cut channels light into the depth of the stone, producing flashes of brilliance and velvety blue tones that change with movement. Slight inclusions at eye level do not detract from the gem’s visual appeal, they confirm natural origin and are often embraced by collectors who prize untreated Burmese material. Because this sapphire has not been heat treated or otherwise enhanced, its color and clarity are wholly natural, and this provenance contributes to its value and collectability. The excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and a clean face up appearance, enhancing light return and making the color appear more intense.
