You want a gem that combines classic appeal with an honest origin, and that will perform beautifully under both everyday light and special occasion illumination. You are likely looking for a balance of depth and liveliness, clarity without perfection that hints at nature, and a face up presence that reads larger than its carat weight. This 2.55 carat cushion shaped blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka meets those requirements, and it gives you the reassurance that your search can end here with The Natural Sapphire Company.

This sapphire measures 9.17 x 6.27 x 4.17 mm, and it is cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances internal scintillation with broad flashes of color. The stone is transparent, and it has a clarity grade of very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions have minimal impact on the stone a and allow light to travel freely through the body of the gem. The color intensity is medium, a range that offers versatility for many settings while retaining a rich blue presence that appeals to both classic and modern tastes. The polish on the pavilion and crown is excellent, which enhances the gem s ability to reflect light, and importantly this sapphire has no enhancement which preserves its natural character and value.

How this sapphire reacts to light is central to its appeal, and the mixed brilliant cut is designed to make the most of every lighting scenario. In bright daylight, the stone opens up, revealing a clear cornflower leaning blue with lively flashes from the crown facets, and the medium color intensity gives the gem brightness without appearing washed out in strong sun. Under softer natural light, such as morning or late afternoon, you will notice a richer, slightly deeper blue that reads with a velvety depth, and the pavilion facets add a layered dimensionality that invites the eye. In cool white LED lighting, the stone will appear crisp and vivid, with the faceting structure producing distinct pinpoint scintillation. Under warm incandescent light and candlelight, the sapphire leans toward its warmer blue violet tones, creating a romantic and intimate glow, and the mixed brilliant cut moderates any increase in saturation so the stone never appears muddy. In low light the gem retains presence, the crown facets catching ambient light to produce small, elegant flashes, while in direct spot illumination the pavilion shows its architecture with dramatic contrast between deep tones and bright highlights. The result is a dynamic gemstone that adapts to its environment while remaining unmistakably blue and captivating.

For design and wear, this sapphire offers flexibility and practicality, and its dimensions give it a flattering footprint on the finger that reads slightly larger than a round of the same carat weight, due to the cushion outline and length to width ratio. A classic solitaire setting in platinum or 18 karat white gold emphasizes the stone s clarity and brilliance, while a halo of fine melee diamonds can boost perceived size and add a soft frame that enhances the sapphire s medium color. For a warmer look, an 18 karat yellow gold setting complements the natural blue with a pleasing contrast, and a three stone arrangement can highlight the gem s center position without overwhelming its refined color. Because this sapphire is natural and untreated, it is a meaningful choice for customers who value authenticity, and its hardness and stability make it suitable for daily wear with sensible care. The excellent polish and thoughtful cut provide both sparkle and depth, making the gem ideal for someone who wants a stone that will perform in photographs, in everyday settings, and at evening events.
