1.54 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are moments when a gemstone does more than decorate, when it becomes the memory, the quiet promise, the gasp of joy you see on the face of someone who understands beauty. This 1.54 carat cushion shape greenish blue sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is one of those moments. At 7.86 by 5.56 by 3.74 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut, intense color intensity, and an eye clean clarity grade evaluated at eye level, it brings a deep and personal kind of sparkle. Heat treated to bring out its fullest hue and given an excellent polish to sharpen every facet, this gem arrives ready to be set as a ring that will be loved, a pendant that will be worn every day, or a gift that will be treasured forever, from The Natural Sapphire Company.

What makes the light inside this sapphire come alive is a combination of the stone chemistry, the cut, and the way a cutter has coaxed angles and facets from the corundum crystal. Sapphire is aluminum oxide, corundum, a hard and dense crystal with a refractive index near 1.76 to 1.77, so it captures and bends light in a way that creates deep, velvety flashes rather than the quick glitter of higher dispersion gems. The mixed brilliant cut on this cushion shape combines the best of step facets and brilliant facets, producing broad, luminous flashes of color and smaller sparkling pinpoints that dance as the stone moves. The pavilion and crown facets work together to maximize internal reflection, and the stone depth of approximately 55.7 percent, calculated from its proportions, helps balance light return with color saturation. Because the gem is eye clean, light moves through without interruption, allowing crisp, contrasting facet reflections to form, and the excellent polish means every facet junction is a perfectly clean mirror. The result is a sparkle that feels uniquely sapphire, deep and alive, a shimmer that changes mood from a teal ocean in daylight to a mysterious midnight blue under warm light.

When you hold this Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company close, you will feel how it carries story and place within its depth. The intense greenish blue hue evokes tropical waters, a sense of calm energy, and the hope of new beginnings. It is a stone that says I love you in a voice that is both elegant and assured. Imagine this gem set in a classic halo to accentuate its center, or in a simple solitaire to let the color and cut speak for themselves, each choice creating a different emotional echo. Because it is heat treated, the color is stable and reliable, enhanced by human skill rather than altered in ways that hide the gem core. This sapphire is an invitation to create an heirloom, a piece that will mark anniversaries, births, promotions, and small everyday triumphs with equal grace. If you are seeking a gem that marries technical excellence with soulful beauty, this greenish blue cushion sapphire is ready to become the jewel that brings light into the moments you most want to remember.
