6.02 Ct. Greyish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that speak in a whisper, and there are gemstones that sing. This 6.02 carat cushion shape, greyish blue sapphire from Ceylon sings with the hush of ocean twilight, a transparent heart of stone that draws the eye like a poem caught between breath and breeze. Gentle facets ripple across its mixed brilliant cut, scattering light into a soft constellation of fire and calm, while an excellent polish lends each facet the kind of mirror finish that makes the surface seem alive. At 10.91 by 9.19 by 6.43 millimeters, this sapphire carries presence without pretension, a size and silhouette that reads both grand and intimate, perfect for a moment that wants to be remembered. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a subtle fingerprint of nature that adds character rather than distraction, and its medium color intensity unfolds in varying notes of grey and blue, like a memory of a sea seen through rain. No enhancement has touched this gem, a story of purity and provenance that begins in the soils of Sri Lanka and continues with the care of The Natural Sapphire Company.

To design with this sapphire is to compose a love letter in precious metal and light, because its cushion shape and generous dimensions invite creativity and confidence. The pillow like outline of the cushion cut is forgiving and flattering, elongating the finger and centering attention in a way that few other shapes can, especially at 10.91 by 9.19 millimeters where it becomes the poetry of a solitaire or the sun at the center of an ornate halo. The mixed brilliant cut means its crown and pavilion are tuned to produce scintillation and depth, a dance of small, bright flashes and broader, lingering reflections. That cut, paired with an excellent polish and the gem s 6.43 millimeter depth, makes the stone ideal for a variety of settings, from delicate prongs that let light play freely through the pavilion, to a low, protective bezel that emphasizes the sapphire s serene color while offering everyday wearability. For bespoke engagement rings, for statement cocktail rings, or for a pendant that rests against the heart, this sapphire s proportions are a designer s dream and an artisan s delight.

When you imagine the custom piece, picture combinations that celebrate its greyish blue elegance. Against cool metals such as platinum or white gold, the medium color intensity will appear fresh and silvery, reminiscent of early morning sky, while set in warm tones such as rose gold, the grey notes will soften and deepen, creating a romantic contrast that highlights the stone s natural complexity. Accent diamonds placed as a halo or as tapered shoulders will amplify the mixed brilliant cut s scintillation without overwhelming the sapphire s soulful hue, while side stones in soft pastels can make the blue read almost lavender at a glance. The stone s clarity, very slightly included evaluated at eye level, allows for confident close inspection, and because it is untreated, it becomes a trustworthy centerpiece for an heirloom that is meant to be worn daily and admired forever. Its dimensions give jewelers ample material to craft secure prong settings, delicate millegrain bezels, or sculptural trellis mounts that cradle the gem and allow its light to move.
