New South Wales Sapphire - 1.23ct Modified Cushion Cut, Teal, Parti

Deep teal sits at the heart of this Inverell sapphire, washing into softer green and blue zones where the precision-cut facets break the light. The parti character is subtle rather than declarative — a teal-to-green continuum with a cooler blue flash along the lower girdle, layered colour the New England gem fields produce particularly well. The modified cushion has been cut for character over yield, with angular crown facets that hold light in geometric blocks rather than scattering it. An Australian sapphire sourced through our long-standing relationships in northern NSW. A natural fit for a contemporary engagement ring where the cutting itself becomes part of the design.
