3.53 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for the perfect center stone to end your quest for beauty, durability, and timeless appeal, this cushion shape blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company answers that need with confidence. We present a transparent 3.53 carat cushion sapphire, measuring 8.21 by 7.71 by 5.89 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both depth and sparkle. The mixed brilliant cut balances large, luminous facets on the crown with precise pavilion faceting, so the stone offers vivid, saturated blue color and lively scintillation with every movement. At eye level the clarity reads very very slightly included, which means that the gem appears clean to the naked eye, letting its rich Ceylon blue and excellent polish take center stage without distraction. For someone envisioning an engagement ring that is both striking and wearable, or a collector seeking a classic, marketable gem, this sapphire delivers presence and poise in equal measure.

You value not only beauty but also the assurance that your choice is an investment in craftsmanship and longevity. This Sri Lankan sapphire, heat treated to enhance its natural color, reflects the standard practice that produces stable, enduring results. Heat treatment is widely accepted in the trade, and when performed properly it improves color while preserving the crystal structure and durability that makes corundum one of the hardest gemstones, second only to diamond. That hardness translates to everyday resilience, making this 3.53 carat cushion an excellent choice for a ring that will be worn and admired daily, and a wise acquisition for an heirloom that will be passed down. The vivid color intensity and excellent polish are signs of meticulous cutting and finishing, and those qualities help a gemstone retain its market appeal over time. When photographed or set, the generous dimensions convey a commanding yet elegant presence on the finger, and the mixed brilliant facets create an interplay of light that collectors and connoisseurs recognize as superior workmanship.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand the emotional and financial considerations behind selecting a significant sapphire, and we design our service to address them directly. If you are seeking an engagement gem that expresses devotion with depth and distinction, this cushion sapphire fulfills that brief through color, clarity, and cut. If you are building a collection or making a strategic purchase, the provenance from Ceylon adds desirable geographic pedigree, as Sri Lankan sapphires are celebrated for their pure, velvety blues that appeal to both traditional and contemporary tastes.
