1.09 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When a client is searching for an engagement ring center stone that feels both intimate and extraordinary, this beautiful transparent 1.09 carat cushion shape green sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company answers that need with quiet confidence. The gem measures 6.29 x 5.59 x 3.34 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut maximizes sparkle while maintaining the soft cushion silhouette that flatters a wide range of ring designs. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, medium color intensity, and an excellent polish, this sapphire reads as lively and approachable on the finger, while remaining unmistakably natural in character. Importantly, this stone has no enhancement, and its origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka gives it a provenance collectors and romantics appreciate, a heritage that becomes part of the story when it is set as a promise or added to a collection.

Compared with lab grown alternatives, this untreated Ceylon sapphire offers advantages that matter when the goal is lasting value and singular identity. Lab grown sapphires can be excellent for uniform color and lower cost, however they are produced in controlled conditions and lack the geological history that makes a natural stone unique. Natural sapphires like this one carry microscopic inclusions that act as a fingerprint of their formation, and the fact that this gem is unheated and untreated enhances its rarity and appeal. Natural stones tend to retain resale value and to attract collectors who prize origin and authenticity, and a Ceylon sapphire carries a legacy of fine color and craftsmanship. From a practical point of view, sapphire is extremely durable for everyday wear, which makes this 1.09 carat cushion ideal for an engagement ring or a special heirloom piece. At The Natural Sapphire Company we guide customers through selection and setting options, and we stand behind the natural character and traceable origin of this gem, ensuring that the search for the perfect stone truly ends here.
