Sapphire Description
Presenting a remarkable 1.21 carat cornflower blue Ceylon sapphire, unheated and expertly fashioned in a refined long cushion cut, showcasing one of the most sought-after and elegant blue tones in the sapphire world. This gemstone displays a soft yet vivid cornflower blue, perfectly balanced between brightness and depth, giving it a luminous and highly desirable appearance.
The long cushion cut enhances the sapphire’s colour and presence through its elongated proportions and gently rounded edges, while its broad facets allow light to move fluidly across the surface. This results in a graceful, even brilliance that highlights the stone’s distinctive cornflower blue hue with clarity and sophistication.
Being completely unheated, this sapphire retains its natural colour and internal character without enhancement — a rare and valuable attribute, particularly in such a fine shade of blue. Unheated cornflower blue sapphires are increasingly difficult to source, making this piece especially desirable for collectors and connoisseurs.
Carefully selected for its exceptional colour, clarity, and elegant cut, this Ceylon sapphire is a refined 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.

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.
