3.53 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This beautiful transparent 3.53 carat cushion shape blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka combines classic proportions with a modern mixed brilliant cut, making it a standout choice compared with the more common round or oval sapphires on the market. Measuring 9.41 by 6.74 by 5.26 mm, this stone sits in a sweet spot for custom rings, pendants, and statement earrings, offering presence without overwhelming a design. The vivid color intensity and excellent polish produce a deep lively blue that performs better in jewelry than many stones that appear dull or overly dark in photographs, and the very very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level means the gem offers exceptional visual purity under normal wear conditions. Heat treated to enhance color, as is standard for fine sapphires, this gem delivers the best balance of natural origin and optimized beauty, giving you the Sri Lankan character collectors prize, with the clean, vivid tone buyers demand.

For designers and customers seeking superior value and uniqueness, this cushion sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company outshines many alternatives. Compared with mass cut commercial sapphires, the mixed brilliant cut here maximizes scintillation and face up brilliance, translating directly into more fire and sparkle in finished jewelry. Its cushion outline is inherently versatile, allowing easy integration into halo settings, three stone rings, or bespoke bezel and vintage inspired mounts, while the dimensions make setting easier for both prong and bezel work without excessive stone shank modification. Compared with higher priced untreated stones with similar color, the heat treated Ceylon origin offers tremendous value because you retain genuine natural origin and rich Sri Lankan hue, at a fraction of the premium collectors pay for untreated material. Choosing this sapphire means you are selecting a gem that is both investment ready, and design friendly, a stone that a skilled jeweler can showcase to create a blue sapphire piece that feels both timeless and distinctly personal. If you want assurance, provenance, and a gem that will translate into exceptional finished jewelry, this cushion blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an ideal choice.
