1.62 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.62 carat cushion shape blue sapphire measures 6.43 x 5.81 x 4.63 mm, and is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that balances table size and pavilion angles to deliver measured sparkle and depth. The stone displays an intense color intensity with excellent polish, and a clarity graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, preserving a visually clean appearance under normal viewing conditions. Heat treated to enhance color stability, this Ceylon, Sri Lanka origin sapphire combines traditional gemological qualities with a size and profile that translate well into finely crafted jewelry pieces.

The proportions and finish of this sapphire make it highly adaptable for a wide range of settings, from classic solitaires to more elaborate halo, three stone, and cluster designs. In ring applications the cushion outline and mixed brilliant faceting respond well to both prong and bezel mounts, with prong settings maximizing light entry and scintillation, and bezel settings providing a streamlined, protective profile for active wear. The gem is equally suited to pendants and earrings, pairing effectively with single stone drops, balanced pairs, or asymmetric studio designs. It complements a variety of metal choices, including platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold, and integrates cleanly with diamond or colored stone accents when a contrast or framing effect is desired.

The Natural Sapphire Company can assist with technical and aesthetic considerations to realize the most appropriate setting, including recommendations on head size, mounting style, and complementary accent stones, and can provide bespoke design and manufacturing options when a custom piece is preferred. The sapphire retains the inherent durability and wearability of corundum, and routine care consists of warm soapy water and a soft brush, with professional cleaning or inspection recommended for set pieces. Documentation regarding treatment and origin is available on request, supporting informed decisions for design and long term enjoyment.
