0.95 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite 0.95 carat cushion shape bi color sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka stands apart from the typical examples you will find on the market, offering a rare combination of transparency, color play, and refined cutting. Many sapphires claim bi color. Many sapphires have interesting tones, but this stone combines medium color intensity with a clear delineation between its blue and yellow facets, creating a living contrast that changes with angle and light. At 6.25 x 4.82 x 3.59 mm the gem is ideal for a statement ring or an elegant pendant, and its mixed brilliant cut gives it a sparkle and fire that outperforms standard step cut or shallow mixes commonly used in commercial material. The origin Ceylon Sri Lanka is known for producing sapphires with lively, vivid hues and balanced saturation, and this piece benefits from that heritage. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire as a piece that bridges collector interest and everyday wearability, offering the kind of visual dynamics that make a gem memorable and distinct.

The exceptional cut and brilliance of this cushion shape sapphire are what truly make it a centerpiece in any collection, and the mixed brilliant cut has been executed to emphasize both scintillation and color zoning. Where many stones lose life because of poor facet alignment or dull polish, this gem boasts an excellent polish which allows light to enter and return with minimal diffusion, resulting in pronounced flashes and depth. The pavilion facets are arranged to interact with the bi color zoning, producing lively color separation and internal sparkle, so the gem reads as both lively and refined. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, yet these inclusions are modest in scale and positioned so they do not interrupt the visual performance or detract from the gem when mounted. Compared to lower grade material that appears cloudy or carries large surface reaching inclusions, this sapphire offers superior presence and optical purity for its category.

In practical terms the balance of weight, size, and cut make this sapphire versatile and superior in value compared with other stones in the same price bracket. A 0.95 carat cushion with such bright mixed brilliant cutting will command more attention than a heavier but poorly cut stone, because beauty in the face up view is determined by proportion and polish as much as by carat weight. For settings, the stone is an ideal candidate for a three stone ring that highlights its color shift, or for a halo design that amplifies its central brilliance, while a bezel can protect the delicate corners of a cushion shape without muting the color play. Compared with many bi color sapphires that are cut shallow or retain rough surface zones, this gem has been shaped to maximize light return, so jewelry designers and customers who prioritize optical impact will find it preferable. The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on mounting choices that preserve the stone s character and enhance its dual tones.

Value wise this Ceylon sapphire represents a compelling purchase for customers who want a distinctive gemstone that outperforms more ordinary material on the market. Heat treatment is noted as the enhancement used, and in contemporary trade this is a stable and widely accepted process that improves color uniformity while maintaining the inherent character of Ceylon stones, making the sapphire more wearable and more enduring in appearance than many untreated but poorly colored pieces. Compared to sapphires from other origins that may be either too deeply saturated or too pale, or to stones that are heavily included and require magnification to appreciate, this gem offers an elegant middle ground of eye appeal, rarity, and practicality. If you are seeking a centerpiece for a bespoke commission, a signature engagement stone, or a standout addition to an existing collection, this cushion shape bi color sapphire is a rare find that combines refined cutting, clear optical charm, and the trusted provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka, and The Natural Sapphire Company is pleased to present it as a superior choice for discerning buyers.
