1.11 ct Orange Sapphire - Cushion

At 1.11 carats, this sapphire from Nigeria carries its orange color through a cushion cut, measuring 6.6 x 4.8 x 3.7 mm.

Sapphire is corundum, one of the hardest materials in the gem world after diamond, and it comes in every color the species holds except the red the trade reserves for ruby. Nigeria is an increasingly important sapphire source, much of it fine enough to need no treatment at all. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

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.
