3.54 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 3.54 carat cushion shaped blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka offers a combination of size, shape, and untreated natural color that is increasingly rare on the market, and The Natural Sapphire Company is pleased to present this stone as an ideal choice for custom jewelry. With dimensions of 8.51 by 7.80 by 5.96 mm, the gem sits in a size category that performs beautifully as a solitaire ring center, a prominent pendant focal point, or a striking cocktail ring stone. The mixed brilliant cut delivers exceptional scintillation and light return that outperforms many standard step cut cushions, while the vivid color intensity provides a rich blue that reads lively in daylight and deep and luxurious under evening lighting. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which means the natural inclusions do not distract from the overall visual impact, and the excellent polish enhances the stone surface to maximize brilliance and smoothness in a finished setting. Crucially for discerning buyers, this sapphire is free of enhancement, which makes it a rarer and more valuable option compared with the many heat treated stones commonly offered today.

For custom jewelry designers and clients who want a superior foundation for bespoke work, this sapphire offers practical advantages over comparable stones. Its cushion outline provides a timeless silhouette that adapts easily to halo, bezel, three stone, and modern tension settings, and the balanced proportions allow experienced setters to preserve weight while achieving secure bezel walls or elegant prong placements. Compared with smaller or overly shallow sapphires, the 5.96 mm depth contributes to durability and face up presence without the dead look of stones cut too deep, and the mixed brilliant pavilion increases sparkle in fashion forward designs that require both flash and color saturation. When contrasted with synthetic or treated alternatives, the natural Ceylon origin and no enhancement status deliver provenance and long term value that sophisticated clients prize. If you are planning a custom engagement ring or an heirloom pendant, this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company combines rarity, beauty, and practical set ability in one superior package, and our team can advise on ideal setting styles to showcase its vivid color, excellent polish, and cushion shape to their fullest advantage.
