1.92 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent cushion shape greenish blue sapphire weighs 1.92 carats, and measures 8.46 x 5.84 x 4.17 mm, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire exhibits the classic, lively character associated with that region, with an intense color intensity that balances saturation and vibrancy in a way prized by collectors. The gemstone is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, combining the depth of traditional pavilion faceting with a brilliant crown scheme, and it has an excellent polish that contributes to crisp facet junctions and a clean surface on which light can play.

The mixed brilliant cut and the cushion outline work together to enhance the sapphire's inherent optical properties. The cushion shape provides a generous table and softly rounded corners, which allow broad flashes of color across the crown, while the mixed brilliant arrangement of crown and pavilion facets channels light into well controlled internal reflections. The brilliant facets on the crown disperse and return light as scintillation, creating lively flashes when the gem moves, and the precision of the pavilion facets maximizes return of light through the table, increasing perceived brightness and depth. Excellent polish ensures minimal light scatter at the surface, so more of the incident light is translated into sparkle and color rather than being diffused, and the cut proportions have been optimized to balance fire and brilliance while preserving weight and face up size.

From a grading and value perspective, this sapphire is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating the presence of small natural inclusions that do not significantly detract from the overall appeal, and which often confirm natural origin to knowledgeable buyers. The stone has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that intensifies color and clarifies the material, without compromising durability. For an educated buyer, this combination of intense Ceylon color, precise mixed brilliant cutting, excellent polish, and the responsible disclosure of slight inclusions and heat treatment represents a gemstone that offers tangible beauty, reliable durability, and an investment in provenance and craftsmanship.
