6.17 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are moments in life that deserve more than words, moments that ask to be remembered by light and color, and this 6.17 carat Ceylon blue sapphire is crafted to hold those moments forever. GIA certified and originating from the storied mines of Sri Lanka, this cushion shape treasure measures 11.42 x 8.59 x 6.81 mm, a perfect balance of presence and wearability. Its intense blue color invites a hush of admiration, a deep, oceanic tone with lively undertones that shift from royal to cornflower depending on the angle of view, and its transparency is exceptional, a clarity described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, that allows you to lose yourself in the gem without distractions. Heat treated to enhance and stabilize its vivid hue, and finished with an excellent polish, this sapphire is not only a declaration of beauty, it is a promise of enduring brilliance from The Natural Sapphire Company.

What sets this cushion sapphire apart is the thought and geometry that went into every facet, the meticulous mixed brilliant cut that pairs the scintillating fire of brilliant facets with the deep, reflective windows of step cutting to achieve a mesmerizing dance of light. Each facet is a tiny stage, angled and placed to capture ambient light and return it transformed into flashes of white brilliance and saturated blue flashes that ripple across the surface. The crown is sculpted to welcome light, the pavilion is engineered to maximize return, and the interplay of square and rounded planes gives the stone a living personality, alive with motion each time your hand moves. This is geometric faceting at its most generous, allowing maximum light play so that whether you gaze at it under candlelight, sunlight, or soft evening glow, the stone responds with a performance that feels intimate and grand at once. The precision of the cut, combined with the excellent polish, ensures that each facet edge is crisp and each plane sings, resulting in scintillation that catches the eye from every direction.

Imagine slipping this cushion sapphire into a setting that lets it breathe, a design that frames its geometry and amplifies its light. Set simply, it becomes an emblem of refined elegance, set with subtle shoulders, it transforms into a statement of confident love, set within a halo, it becomes a beacon of celebration that multiplies the joy of every glance.
