1.16 ct Orange Sapphire - Cushion

At 1.16 carats, this sapphire from Nigeria carries its orange color through a cushion cut, measuring 6.6 x 5.5 x 3.5 mm.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. Nigeria is an increasingly important sapphire source, much of it fine enough to need no treatment at all. It is heated, a standard and stable treatment that we disclose plainly, the way an honest seller should.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
