6.20 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are stones that belong to moments, and then there are stones that belong to centuries, carrying with them stories of kings, temples, and silent sea routes that first brought Ceylon sapphires to the wider world. This magnificent cushion shaped blue sapphire of 6.20 carats is one such treasure, a piece of geological and human history combined, offered to you by The Natural Sapphire Company. Born of Sri Lanka, long known as Ceylon to collectors and connoisseurs, this gem connects the hand that wears it to ancient mines and generations who prized this hue for its association with wisdom, protection, and enduring love. The cushion outline, chosen centuries ago for its elegant balance between softness and structure, enhances the sapphire s natural persona, making it equally at home in a regal ring or a refined pendant passed down as an heirloom.

Look upon the stone and you will see how flawless execution elevates a gem from pretty to profound, the modified brilliant cut working with the sapphire s transparency to reveal color and light in a way that rewards every turn of the wrist. Measuring 10.66 by 9.25 by 6.32 millimeters, with an excellent polish, the proportions have been carefully refined to maximize return of light, allowing the medium intense color intensity to breathe and glow without feeling heavy or muted. The clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, means that to the naked eye the stone reads as clean and vivid, while small internal features remain as characteristic notes that authenticate its natural origin rather than detract from its beauty. Because this sapphire is untreated, with no enhancement, the blue you see is the sapphire s true voice, consistent and alive across the crown and pavilion, refracting light from every facet with a depth and purity that only an unenhanced Ceylon stone can offer.

In settings designed to honor its lineage, this sapphire becomes more than a jewel, it becomes a legacy. The modified brilliant cutting style brings an interplay of scintillation and satiny depth that flatters the hand and invites close inspection, while the cushion silhouette ensures a timeless silhouette that never yields to fleeting trends. For those who appreciate tradition, the stone s transparency and excellent polish amplify its potential for classic, restrained mounting that highlights color and form, or for a bespoke design that pairs it with warm metals and soft accent stones to echo the island sun and sea that shaped it. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that acquiring such a gem is the beginning of a story, and we stand ready to assist with setting suggestions, historical context, and care guidance to ensure that this sapphire remains vibrant for generations. Whether chosen as a symbol of devotion, a centerpiece for a family heirloom, or a collector s prized specimen, this Ceylon cushion sapphire offers a rare combination of historical resonance, uncompromised natural beauty, and flawless craftsmanship that enhances its loveliness from every angle.
