1.69 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a rare opportunity to own a cushion shape blue sapphire of exceptional presence, offered exclusively through The Natural Sapphire Company. This magnificent gemstone weighs 1.69 carats, and measures 7.39 by 6.07 by 4.02 mm, dimensions that place it in a coveted size range for bespoke fine jewelry. Its origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, lends a storied pedigree, and the vivid color intensity immediately signals a stone with commanding visual impact. From the moment you first see it, this sapphire conveys a sense of singularity, an object that appeals to collectors and connoisseurs who seek a genuinely distinctive center stone. Because stones of this caliber do not appear often, choosing this sapphire means joining an exclusive group of owners who appreciate the marriage of natural rarity and meticulous cutting.

Every facet of this sapphire has been shaped to maximize its luminous potential, the mixed brilliant cut merging the scintillation of modern cutting with the depth expected of classic proportions. The excellent polish enhances every plane of the gem, allowing light to dance across its surfaces and return a brilliant and saturated blue that reads as vivid in every lighting condition. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, an attribute that confirms the stone is clean to the sight and offers an unobstructed window into its rich color. The stone has been heat treated, the most widely accepted enhancement for sapphires, applied to refine tone and clarity while preserving the integrity of the natural crystal. Together these qualities create a sapphire that feels both alive and refined, an ideal focal point for a piece that will be treasured for generations.

The dimensions and cushion profile of this sapphire make it exceptionally well suited to custom jewelry, a blank canvas that invites masterful design. At 7.39 by 6.07 mm and a depth of 4.02 mm, the stone carries ideal proportions that accommodate a variety of settings without compromising brilliance or visual weight. In a solitaire ring the cushion shape will present a broad table that highlights color, while a halo configuration will amplify presence and lend additional fire, lending itself equally well to classic and contemporary aesthetics. For those who favor a low profile, bezel settings will offer secure protection along the gently curved girdle, and for those who prefer elevated light capture, well designed prong mounts will allow the mixed brilliant cut to flash dynamically. This sapphire also adapts beautifully to pendants and elegant earrings, where its vivid blue will read as a singular statement or harmonize as a matching pair when paired with complementary gems.
