9.29 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Floating like a secret held by the sea, this transparent 9.29 carat cushion blue sapphire measures 13.10 by 10.92 by 7.23 millimeters, each facet cut in a mixed brilliant pattern to catch and return light like a hidden tide, the excellent polish making every movement a soft flash, the medium color intensity delivering a blue that is vivid but gentle, at once intimate and jewel bright, with slight inclusions seen at eye level that read as character rather than flaw, small stories left by the earth itself. Originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka, and heat treated to reveal its inner song, the gem carries a cool and luminous heart, a blue that leans toward the pure and the skyward, a sapphire that sits on the finger like a calm afternoon turned to gemstone, evocative, romantic, and altogether wearable, ready to become the centerpiece of a promise or the quiet heirloom of a lifetime, presented with care and expertise by The Natural Sapphire Company.

Compared to famous sources this sapphire sings its own island melody, it is not the velvety cornflower blue of a Kashmir sapphire which whispers of powdered silk and twilight, rather it is brighter and more transparent, with a clarity of hue that allows light to dance through it, it is less inky than many Australian or Thai blues which hold a deeper, more brooding tone, and it is livelier than the steely, forest-touched blues of Montana sapphires from America, yet it shares the luminous, watery brilliance often admired in fine Ceylon stones and sometimes echoed in discoverings from Madagascar, while remaining distinct from the intense royal saturation you might see in top Burmese stones. The mixed brilliant cut and the gem's ample proportions grant it a presence that reads larger than its carat might suggest, a gem that gestures toward the dramatic without overwhelming, and that invites custom settings that can balance its gentle intensity and earthy inclusions. If you seek a sapphire that balances island light with timeless romance, a stone that tells a story in every angle, The Natural Sapphire Company welcomes you to explore how this Ceylon cushion can be set and cherished, a living blue that promises to become part of your own enduring poem.
