Sri Lankan Sapphire - 2.72ct, Cushion, Light Blue

A bright, light cornflower blue runs evenly through this Ceylon cushion, the kind of open, lively colour Sri Lanka is known for. Light travels cleanly across the crown, lifting in crisp flashes as the stone moves, and the body reads clear to the eye with no distracting zoning. The cushion is cut with enough depth to hold colour — a generous spread that wears a little larger than its weight. This is a classic Sri Lankan blue sapphire of the type prized for centuries from the island's gem gravels. A natural centre stone for an engagement ring or an heirloom-grade dress ring.
