1.60 Ct. Blue Sapphire | Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

This 1.60 carat cushion-shaped blue sapphire from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) displays graceful proportions and refined balance. Measuring 7.34 × 5.48 × 4.28 mm, the gemstone is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut designed to enhance light return while preserving natural color depth.

The sapphire exhibits a cornflower blue color, a highly sought-after hue prized for its soft yet vivid saturation and balanced tone. This color remains bright and well defined across different lighting conditions, avoiding excessive darkness while maintaining richness. Transparency is excellent, and the clarity is graded Very Slightly Included (VS) at eye level, with natural inclusions that are not visible to the unaided eye and do not detract from the gemstone’s overall appearance.

An excellent polish enhances facet definition and contributes to consistent brilliance and lively scintillation. The cutting proportions are well balanced, allowing the stone to present confidently on the finger while maintaining an elegant spread for its weight.

This sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement for corundum, applied to improve color uniformity and overall appearance while preserving the gemstone’s natural integrity. The treatment is permanent and fully disclosed, in accordance with international gem trade standards.

Sourced from the historic gem-bearing regions of Sri Lanka, this sapphire reflects the qualities for which Ceylon material is renowned: attractive cornflower blue color, fine transparency, and dependable durability. Its 1.60 carat weight and refined proportions make it an excellent choice for an engagement ring, three-stone design, or bespoke jewellery creation.
