Technically this stone is a refined example of what collectors and designers prize in Ceylon sapphires. It weighs 2.57 carats, with dimensions 7.66 by 6.90 by 5.33 millimeters, and its cushion shape offers a softer silhouette that remains classic and modern at the same time. The mixed brilliant cut is designed to maximize fire and brilliance, combining larger crown facets for depth with a finely faceted pavilion that returns light in lively flashes. Under careful evaluation the clarity grade reads very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads clean to the viewer while retaining natural character under magnification. The color sits at a pleasing medium light intensity, a flattering tone that shows the signature Ceylon blue with a lively, lively clarity that reads beautifully in natural and artificial light. The polish is excellent, giving the surface a mirror like finish that allows the cut and color to sing. The gemstone has been heat treated, a stable and commonly accepted enhancement that brings out the most desirable color and clarity traits, and its origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds provenance that many buyers find meaningful when choosing an heirloom piece.

Thinking about how this sapphire becomes a generational heirloom leads naturally to design and durability considerations.

The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish mean the face up size and visual depth are exceptionally appealing, so whether you choose a platinum, 18 karat yellow gold, or rose gold mounting, the sapphire will harmonize with your metal choice and capture attention.
