1.83 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Africa

There are gems that speak immediately to the imagination, and this transparent blue sapphire of 1.83 carats is precisely such a stone, a modern heirloom that carries the resonance of an ancient world. Born in Africa, this cushion shape sapphire measures 7.71 by 6.28 by 3.99 millimeters, its proportions carefully balanced to echo the gentle pillow silhouette favored by craftsmen for centuries. The mixed brilliant cut breathes life into the gem, combining the scintillating fire of modern faceting with the classical elegance of a cushion outline, and an excellent polish ensures every facet glows with crisp reflection. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is very slightly included, a testament to natural formation, and the medium color intensity provides a versatile, comforting blue that is neither too dark to hide detail nor too light to lose presence. Treated by traditional heat enhancement to bring out its best color and stability, this sapphire represents the practiced care that has been applied to precious stones for generations, a balance of nature and human skill that The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present.

This sapphire is as adaptable as it is arresting, moving effortlessly between the intimate and the ceremonial, the everyday and the extraordinary. In a simple bezel mount it becomes a discreet companion for casual days, catching morning light with a lively pulse of blue, while set within a halo of smaller diamonds it transforms into a centerpiece worthy of black tie evenings and milestone celebrations. Its cushion shape is inherently flattering to a variety of settings, and the mixed brilliant cut grants the gem a lively interplay of brilliance and depth that flatters both minimalistic modern bands and ornate vintage settings. The dimensions make it ideal for solitaire rings, elegant pendants, or as a heartening focal point in bespoke pieces such as signet rings or cufflinks. Durable and resilient, sapphire is a gemstone meant to be worn, its hardness lending confidence to daily wear while the eye clean appearance at normal observation distances maintains the composed dignity prized by those who collect classic gems.
