2.31 ct Blue Sapphire - Cushion

At 2.31 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its blue color through a cushion cut, measuring 6.5 x 5 x 3.9 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. Sri Lankan sapphire is hand-picked from river gravels worked for two thousand years, and the island's signature is bright, glassy color with high transparency. It is heated, a standard and stable treatment that we disclose plainly, the way an honest seller should.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
