1.27 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.27 carat cushion shape white sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka stands apart from many market alternatives, offering a rare combination of size, shape, and optical performance. At 6.32 x 5.42 x 3.93 mm this gem presents a generous face up that reads larger than many round stones of the same weight, giving designers and clients more visual impact without the price jump of larger diamonds. The faceted mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish maximize brilliance and scintillation, while the near colorless tone provides a versatile neutral palette that complements both white metals and warm yellow settings. Compared with laboratory grown imitations and cubic zirconia, this natural sapphire retains superior hardness and resilience, making it better suited to everyday wear. Compared with colorless diamonds, this sapphire delivers exceptional value per carat, and compared with other white sapphires on the market this specimen shows cleaner eye level clarity with a very very slightly included grade, meaning inclusions are minimal and do not distract under typical viewing.

For custom jewelry this cushion white sapphire is ideal, its proportions lend themselves to classic solitaire rings, halo engagement settings, vintage inspired pieces, and contemporary bezel mounts. The mixed brilliant cut creates a lively light performance that pairs beautifully with pavé or channel set accent stones, while the cushion outline softens finger profiles for comfortable daily wear. Heat treatment is a standard and stable enhancement that improves tone and clarity without compromising durability, and its Sri Lankan origin adds provenance and collector appeal compared with generic sources. At The Natural Sapphire Company we value stones that combine aesthetic versatility with craft friendly dimensions, this sapphire is cut and polished to exacting standards so bench jewelers can set with confidence, achieving tight claws and clean bezels without extensive recutting. Designers will appreciate the predictable table and depth for planning side stone sizes and metal weight, while clients will enjoy a standout center stone that balances sparkle, face up presence, and long term wearability.

Choosing this cushion white sapphire means opting for a naturally sourced, well cut gem that outperforms many alternatives in terms of durability, value, and suitability for custom settings, its measurable dimensions and excellent polish make it a straightforward, premium choice for personalized, enduring jewelry.
