1.55 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.55 carat cushion shape blue sapphire measures 7.61 x 6.17 x 3.81 mm, with a pavilion depth that yields an overall depth of approximately 55 percent, a mixed brilliant cut, an eye level clarity grade of slightly included, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, and there has been no enhancement. The mixed brilliant faceting combines a fine brilliant pattern on the crown with carefully proportioned pavilion faceting, resulting in precise facet junctions and optimized angles that maximize light return. The table and crown facets are proportioned to balance brilliance and color saturation, while the pavilion execution prevents windowing and encourages strong scintillation across the crown and girdle area.

The flawless quality of the cutting and finishing elevates the gem, revealing its beauty from every angle. Excellent symmetry and polish create uninterrupted light paths, allowing the intense blue to display in even, vivid flashes as the stone moves, and the mixed brilliant layout produces a lively blend of large flashes and fine pinfire scintillation. Slight internal inclusions are discreet at eye level, minimally affecting transparency, and in many viewing positions the stone reads fully transparent, with color and light behavior dictated primarily by the cut and polish. The no enhancement status preserves the natural Ceylon character of the blue, showcasing the island provenance through a clear, lively hue with subtle zonal nuances typical of Sri Lankan sapphires. Craftsmanship details such as a well balanced girdle, neatly polished facet junctions, and a precise pavilion slope contribute to uniform return of light and stable color under different lighting environments.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this sapphire to connoisseurs who appreciate technical excellence as much as aesthetic appeal, and the combination of mixed brilliant cutting, measured proportions, excellent polish, intense natural color, and unenhanced origin offers a gem whose flawless craftsmanship enhances its optical performance and beauty from every viewing angle.
