1.63 Ct. Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Discover the exceptional beauty and brilliance of a truly spectacular gemstone: a 1.63 carat cushion-shaped bluish-green sapphire sourced from the prestigious mines of Ceylon, today known as Sri Lanka. The Natural Sapphire Company proudly presents this stunning sapphire, which embodies the harmony of fine craftsmanship, rarity, and the vibrant allure of unique coloration that distinguishes it in the world of precious gemstones. Meticulously fashioned into a mixed brilliant cut, this sapphire showcases both the light and color with breathtaking clarity, enhanced by its vivid saturation and remarkable transparency.

The cushion shape of this sapphire nods to the classic design favored by gemstone enthusiasts, combining the graceful curves of an oval with the angular facets of a square cut. Measuring 7.33 x 6.21 x 3.90 mm, our Ceylon sapphire impresses not only with its sizable coverage but also with its ability to refract and reflect light in captivating ways. Thanks to the expert hands that crafted its mixed brilliant cut, this sapphire delivers a mesmerizing performance of light dispersion and depth. Its facets are skillfully arranged to maximize brilliance and reflection, creating a visual spectacle that transcends that of typical step-cut sapphires or variations with fewer facets. When compared to other gemstones such as emeralds or topazes, the sapphire's refractive properties produce an equally compelling yet subtly distinct radiance, making it a valuable addition to any collector's repertoire.

Of particular note in this gem is its vivid bluish-green hue, a color that resonates with the sea's tranquil depths and the lush greenery of tropical landscapes. This vivid color intensity, a hallmark of choice Sri Lankan sapphires, sets this stone apart as truly magnificent, rivaling the saturation seen in aquamarines and even certain exotic variants of tourmalines. The clarity grade of very slightly included, assessed at eye level, guarantees minimal visual distractions, allowing the rich color tone to take center stage against a backdrop of almost pristine translucency. Each minute inclusion, found only under close inspection, adds a touch of natural authenticity to this piece without detracting from its overall aesthetic.

An excellent polish completes the offering, ensuring each facet delivers uninterrupted reflection, enhancing the gem's innate sparkle. This high polish indicates not only careful attention to physical detail but also a dedication to quality that reflects The Natural Sapphire Company's commitment to providing superior gemstones. The smooth, glossy finish contrasts vividly with the brilliant cut, harmonizing structural precision with a touch of organic elegance. This sapphire's immaculate polish and cutting precision captivate the eye, elevating its owner to new heights of sophistication and style.

The Natural Sapphire Company takes pride in curating and crafting gemstones that exceed expectations, rooted in both traditional expertise and modern innovation. This 1.63 carat sapphire is an impressive testament to our skilled artisans’ dedication and the exceptional beauty mother nature imbues within the gemstones of Sri Lanka.
