5.52 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are jewels that arrive like a poem, a single stanza of color that holds an entire horizon, and this sapphire sings as one of those rare verses. We present a transparent 5.52 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, its dimensions 10.14 x 9.14 x 5.82 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances the old world charm of a soft cushion silhouette with the lively fire of modern faceting. The gem is vivid in color intensity, a deep and embracing blue that at once suggests the cool depth of moonlit oceans and the electric hush of twilight skies. Evaluated at eye level it carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included, an assurance of near perfection that allows light to pass and play freely across its planes, while an excellent polish calls every facet to attention so that each movement of the hand becomes a small weather of scintillation. From its origins in Ceylon Sri Lanka to its gentle enhancement by heat treatment, this stone bears both the authenticity of place and the respectful touch of skilled hands, a natural treasure refined to reveal its truest self.

Woven into the history of this gemstone is a heritage as rich and storied as the island from which it came. Sapphires from Ceylon have long been cradled in royal diadems, offered as tokens of faith and fidelity, and worn as talismans to guard the heart and steady the mind. For centuries lovers have chosen blue sapphires as seals of devotion, believing their hue to carry vows from the heavens to earth, their cool brilliance to soften passion into a steady, enduring flame. This particular sapphire carries that legacy with quiet confidence, its cushion shape echoing antique rings and heirlooms, its vivid blue recalling the ceremonial gems trusted by queens and sages alike. When set into an engagement ring or a piece destined to travel between generations, it will bring with it not only beauty but the continuity of tradition, a line of meaning that traces back to ceremony and protection, to promises spoken beneath the hush of candlelight. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that lineage, selecting and presenting stones that resonate with history as well as heart.

Imagine this sapphire resting upon a band of warm gold or cool platinum, seated in a setting that cradles its soft corners and allows the mixed brilliant cut to scatter light like stars spilled across a midnight pool. At 5.52 carat and with measurements 10.14 x 9.14 x 5.82 mm it offers a presence that is both commanding and intimate, large enough to be seen across a room, subtle enough to invite a second look. The very very slightly included clarity means the eye meets an expanse of blue largely undisturbed, while the heat treatment that deepens its vivid color is a time honored enhancement embraced throughout the trade to reveal the truest character of Ceylon sapphires. Polished to an excellent finish, the gem accepts and returns light with an almost conversational brilliance, encouraging stories to be told and promises to be kept. If you seek a stone that feels like a promise made tangible, a jewel that is at once heirloom and new beginning, The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to consider this cushion blue sapphire. Let it be the meteor you anchor to your life, a luminous witness to the moments that matter, waiting to become the heart of an engagement ring, a pendant, or a bespoke creation that will carry your name into the quiet archive of treasured things.
