Sapphire Description
Presenting an exceptional 1.05 carat royal blue Ceylon sapphire, unheated and expertly fashioned in a classic cushion cut, showcasing one of the most coveted colour tones in the world of sapphires. This gemstone displays a rich, velvety royal blue with remarkable depth and saturation, offering a bold yet refined presence that immediately stands out in any fine jewellery design.
The cushion cut enhances the intensity of this royal blue hue through its softly rounded edges and broad facets, allowing light to move gracefully across the stone while preserving its deep, luxurious colour. The result is a balanced combination of strong colour concentration and elegant, glowing brilliance.
Being completely unheated, this sapphire retains its natural royal blue character without enhancement — a rare and highly prized quality. Unheated stones of this colour are increasingly scarce, making this example particularly desirable for collectors and those seeking true authenticity and long-term value.
Carefully selected for its exceptional colour, clarity, and natural integrity, this Ceylon sapphire is a standout centrepiece for timeless, high-end jewellery.
Imaging Accuracy
Imaging Accuracy
We understand that it can be hard to assess loose sapphires colours from photos alone. All our images and videos are taken by a specialist gemstone imaging company who produce images to 99% colour accuracy with ISO standard natural daylight in high magnification. This ensures you will get the best view for colour, clarity and any visible inclusions.
Whilst this is the most accurate representation of the stones colours, sapphire colours vary depending on the lighting conditions.
Certification
Certification
All our sapphires come certified, guaranteeing authentic natural sapphires from Sri Lanka. This will come in the form of a certificate on delivery of the sapphire. Certain stones may include extra certification by GIA or SSEF Switzerland, this will be highlighted in the description. Please do contact us if you wish to discuss any certifications.
Clarity Rating
Clarity Rating
While some sapphires can appear "eye-clean" (meaning no inclusions are visible to the naked eye), most natural sapphires do contain inclusions, which are considered natural characteristics and not necessarily flaws.
Our sapphires are graded in the below format:
VVS (Very Very Slightly Included):These sapphires have very, very small inclusions that are difficult to see even under 10x magnification.
VS (Very Slightly Included):These sapphires have minor inclusions that are clearly visible under 10x magnification, but they might be difficult to see with the naked eye.
SI (Slightly Included):These sapphires have noticeable inclusions that are easy to observe under 10x magnification, and some may be visible to the naked eye.
I (Included):These sapphires have obvious inclusions that are easily visible under 10x magnification and may affect transparency and brilliance.
