1.54 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Africa

This 1.54 carat cushion shape blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a standout addition for any high end gemstone collection, combining classic form with modern cutting finesse. Measuring 6.59 x 5.80 x 3.93 mm, the stone offers ideal proportions for a statement ring or a collector grade display, and its mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation and depth of color in a way that many factory cuts cannot match. Unlike many commercial sapphires that undergo heat treatment to improve color or clarity, this sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, which immediately sets it apart for collectors who prioritize natural provenance and untouched beauty. The clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, means the stone reads as transparent and eye clean to most observers, giving it a clean, usable appearance that competes favorably with clearer but treated alternatives on the market.

Color and finishing elevate this sapphire above typical offerings, medium light color intensity gives a lively blue that photographs well and looks refined in person, rather than the overly dark or muted tones seen in some heavy saturation stones. The excellent polish enhances light return, while the mixed brilliant cut creates a lively play of facets, producing more brilliance than a simple step cut or shallow factory cut. Origin Africa adds desirable geographic character, offering a different expression from more commonly available Sri Lankan or Kashmiri stones, and appeals to collectors who seek diversity and story in their holdings. When compared to similar carat weights that are either heavily included, heavily treated, or poorly cut, this sapphire represents exceptional value, because you receive a combination of natural condition, superior cutting, and finish that boosts both aesthetic appeal and long term desirability.

For a high end collection where rarity, presentation, and future value matter, this sapphire ticks every box, a collectible size with transparent visual quality, an elegant cushion shape that carries both vintage charm and contemporary versatility, and an untreated status that preserves its natural character. Whether set into a bespoke piece or kept as an investment grade specimen, this 1.54 carat cushion blue sapphire stands out against many mass market options, and provides a refined, ethical, and beautiful choice that The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to offer.
