1.52 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The moment you lift this cushion blue sapphire, offered with care by The Natural Sapphire Company, you feel an instant swell of joy and a quiet certainty that this is a treasure meant to mark something important, a birthday, an anniversary, a promise. This transparent 1.52 carat cushion shaped gem carries the deep whisper of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, in its medium color intensity, and it arrives to you without enhancement, an honest and natural heart of color. At 6.69 by 5.38 by 4.37 mm it sits with confident proportion, and its clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level makes it beautifully eye clean, so that every glance feels like a clear invitation to fall in love all over again. The excellent polish raises the surface to a mirror like sheen, giving every facet the freedom to catch light and to return it as joyous, lively brilliance that brightens the face and the moment it is worn.

What truly makes this sapphire sing is its mixed brilliant cut, an inspired marriage of classic brilliance and thoughtful geometry that amplifies the stone s inherent capacity to manipulate light. The mixed brilliant crown creates a symphony of small, precise facets above the table that break incoming light into lively flashes, while the pavilion s carefully angled facets channel that light back through the gem in concentrated pulses of color and fire. Because the pavilion depth is balanced with the overall proportions, light does not leak away, instead it is redirected into repeating internal reflections, creating a rhythmic scintillation that dances with every movement. The cushion silhouette, with gently rounded corners and a softened squarish outline, gives the larger crown facets room to form broad, velvety flashes of cornflower blue and cooler violet tinges, and the contrast between bright flashes and deeper windows of color gives the gem a three dimensional personality that feels alive on the skin. Every facet edge is crisply polished, and that excellent polish means the angles meet with precision, so light travels with minimal loss and maximum impact, producing both immediate sparkle and a deeper, internal glow that reveals itself the longer you look.

Imagine this sapphire set as the center of a ring, held high enough to capture sunlight, or nestled low for everyday grace, its cushion face measuring a refined 6.69 by 5.38 mm that balances presence and wearability with elegance. The mixed brilliant cut ensures that under candlelight it scintillates with playful stars, and in daylight it returns pure, honest color that reads as lively and sincere. Because this gem is unenhanced, every shimmer, every hue, every tiny natural characteristic belongs to its story, a story that began in the storied mines of Ceylon and continues with you. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand how a single stone can carry a lifetime of meaning, and this sapphire is perfectly suited to become a signature piece, an heirloom, a turning point in someone s life. If you are choosing a gem to celebrate love, to commemorate a triumph, or to create a memory that will be handed down, this cushion shaped, mixed brilliant, 1.52 carat Ceylon sapphire offers both the technical excellence of cut and polish, and the emotional poetry that turns a beautiful object into a beloved companion.
