6.13 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a deep hush to this blue, a hush like twilight folded into velvet, a hush that will breathe gently against the skin when you hold it. This cushion shape sapphire, weighing 6.13 carats, measures 12.48 x 8.29 x 6.17 mm, and arrives as a small ocean of sapphire blue, transparent and vivid. From The Natural Sapphire Company we present a gem whose mixed brilliant cut is a deliberate conversation between fire and depth, where every facet is a syllable in a poem of light. The crown invites sunlight like a lighthouse, the table offers a calm surface that reflects passing skies, and the carefully placed pavilion facets act as secret mirrors, returning and multiplying light into a velvet arena of scintillation and brilliance.

The mixed brilliant cut is the heart of its enchantment, a union of step and brilliant philosophies that coax the stone to sing. Broad bezel facets frame the cushion outline, giving strong flashes of color, while small brilliant facets on the pavilion usher light deep into the gem and then back again, creating a lively dance of pinpoint brilliance and bold, velvety flashes. The excellent polish is the final whisper that keeps the performance uninterrupted, smoothing each plane so that light slides rather than stumbles, so that each reflection appears as effortless as a lover s smile. With a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the sapphire remains transparent and pure to the naked gaze, its tiny internal signatures serving as unique fingerprints rather than distractions, a quiet reminder of the gem s natural birth and earthly origin.

Born in Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and gently enhanced by heat treatment to awaken its vivid color, this sapphire carries a lineage of tropical rains and ancient soils. The heat treatment has been applied with care to stabilize and intensify the rich blue, not to mask, but to reveal the color that nature first hinted at. In direct light the blue deepens to a regal indigo, in softer light it opens into a cornflower blue reminiscent of evening sky over calm water, and in motion it scatters tiny pinpricks of white light that seem to come from within. The relationship between the cut and the stone s internal world is intimate, the mixed brilliant pattern guiding light through the gem s internal landscapes, letting the color breathe freely while also delivering radiant lifelike flashes along the crown.

Imagine this cushion sapphire set at the center of an engagement ring, cradled in a simple bezel, or held in a four prong embrace, each setting choice altering the way it greets the world. On the hand it announces itself with confident tenderness, a 6.13 carat presence that feels substantial, yet entirely elegant, its dimensions of 12.48 x 8.29 x 6.17 mm making it a perfect balance between command and grace. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor stones that carry both story and science, and this gem is a gentle ambassador of both. It asks for moments rather than noise, it rewards the patient eye, and it offers an enduring promise that light can be shaped into memory, a memory that will glint and deepen with every sunrise and every shared gaze.
