19.50 Ct. Blue Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A singular expression of ocean depth and aristocratic restraint, this transparent 19.50 carat cushion shape blue sapphire measures 14.46 x 14.23 x 9.50 mm, finished in an elegant sugar loaf cut that celebrates volume and color over flash alone. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and heat treated to reveal its finest temperament, the stone presents a vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that allows light to pool and circulate within its heart. The clarity grade is slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a quality that lends authenticity and character without compromising the gems visual command. Set by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire becomes more than an accessory, it is a statement, a quiet proclamation of cultivated taste and a rare acquisition for the connoisseur who values provenance and presence.

In comparison to other gemstones in its category, the sugar loaf cushion offers a reflective signature all its own, more contemplative than the rapid scintillation of finely faceted sapphires and more substantial than the sheer brilliance of spinel. Where traditional brilliant cuts scatter light in agile, lively flashes, this treatment concentrates reflections into broad, velvety flashes, creating a satin like glow that emphasizes mass and color saturation rather than momentary sparkle. Against a Kashmir or Burmese faceted stone, which may sing with bright, pinpoint scintillation, this Ceylon sugar loaf soothes with deep, even luminosity. It differs from star sapphires that rely on asterism to attract the eye, because its transparency allows internal depth and subtle motion to be appreciated as the stone moves. For those who seek an object of desire that reads as both jewel and heirloom, this sapphire offers the intoxicating combination of Ceylon color, generous scale, and a reflective personality that rewards quiet observation and confident display.
