2.42 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A deep, velvety green, as if a forest dawn were captured and set to sparkle, this transparent cushion shape sapphire weighs 2.42 carat, and measures 7.88 x 7.33 x 5.01 mm, a treasure born in Ceylon Sri Lanka and shaped by expert hands. Its mixed brilliant cut is a poem in facets, where the broad cushion crown cradles a symphony of small and large facets that coax light into paths of bright reflection, and the pavilion facets channel every ray back toward the eye to create lively scintillation even within a dark color intensity. The stone reads as eye clean when viewed at eye level, its interior free of distractions, while an excellent polish allows each facet junction to sing, the surface becoming a mirror for sudden flashes of brilliance. Heat treated to refine and stabilize its hue, this green sapphire holds the authenticity of nature and the considered enhancement that reveals its fullest personality.

Close to the heart and ready for a setting that celebrates sentiment, this gem from The Natural Sapphire Company becomes more than an object, it becomes a story. The cushion outline softens the mixed brilliant geometry, producing a gentle play of light that feels romantic and timeless, the table acting as a window through which the sapphire’s depth and clarity converse with light. The mixed brilliant cut is especially adept at maximizing light return for a darker tone, its carefully angled facets breaking and redistributing light so that shimmer and depth coexist. Imagine this stone cradled in a warm gold bezel that deepens its forest tones, or set in a delicate solitaire to let each scintillating facet speak, or surrounded by a halo to amplify its luminous edges. For those who seek a sapphire that is both intimate and striking, this 2.42 carat cushion green sapphire offers a rare combination of dark, rich color, transparent clarity, and refined cutting, ready to become the centerpiece of an engagement, an heirloom, or a pledge, and I am here to guide you through choices in setting, mounting, and care to ensure it tells your story with every tilt and every light.
