1.01 ct Orange Sapphire - Cushion

At 1.01 carats, this sapphire from Nigeria carries its orange color through a cushion cut, measuring 7.4 x 4.8 x 2.9 mm.

As a member of the corundum family, sapphire pairs deep color with a hardness that makes it one of the most durable choices for a ring worn every day. Nigeria is an increasingly important sapphire source, much of it fine enough to need no treatment at all. It carries a beryllium diffusion treatment, a modern heat-and-diffusion process, disclosed plainly here as on every listing.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
