{"title":"Cushion Sapphires - Vintage-Style Loose Stones","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe cushion cut - a square or rectangular shape with gently rounded corners and a brilliant facet pattern - is the most romantic and historically resonant cut in coloured-stone jewellery. It is the cut you find in antique sapphire rings, royal heirlooms, and modern vintage-inspired engagement settings. Cushion sapphires showcase colour depth like no other shape: the rounded corners trap light and saturate the body colour, producing the deep, glowing presence that defines a great sapphire.

Sourced from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), this stone's cushion geometry concentrates its violet hue across the face, producing deeper saturation than oval or round equivalents of the same weight. Violet sapphire occupies the cooler, bluer end of the purple corundum range. Unheated violet sapphires from Ceylon are among the rarer stones in the catalog — heat treatment tends to shift violet toward blue or red, so the finest violets are almost always natural as cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 2px solid #5b2c6f; border-radius: 10px; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 28px 0; background-color: #f9f5fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 12px; color: #4a235a;\"\u003eExpert Opinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/crescentgems.com\/pages\/ahmed-shareek-about-the-owner\" style=\"color: #4a235a; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAhmed Shareek\u003c\/a\u003e's Assessment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\"Violet sapphire gets confused with purple more often than any other sapphire color, but it's a genuinely distinct hue that sits closer to blue on the color range.

Teal sapphire is natural corundum at the intersection of blue and green — a dual-tone color that shifts between its blue and green components depending on angle, distance, and light source. The cushion cut at 1.75 carats concentrates the teal saturation across a broad face, making the color-shift character visible and vivid in any setting.

Ceylon has long been celebrated as a source of the world's finest sapphires, and this stone carries that heritage in a rich, velvety pinkish-purple hue. Purple is one of the rarer sapphire colors to begin with, and this stone adds a further distinction: purple sapphire's color comes from vanadium, a coloring agent that is unusually sensitive to heat and tends to shift toward blue or pink under treatment — so a purple sapphire that has been heat treated and still shows this rich, stable pinkish-purple is a genuinely less common outcome within the color family, not the routine case it would be for blue sapphire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 2px solid #5b2c6f; border-radius: 10px; padding: 20px 24px; margin: 28px 0; background-color: #f9f5fc;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 12px; color: #4a235a;\"\u003eExpert Opinion\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; margin-bottom: 6px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/crescentgems.com\/pages\/ahmed-shareek-about-the-owner\" style=\"color: #4a235a; text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eAhmed Shareek\u003c\/a\u003e's Assessment\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0;\"\u003e\"Purple sapphire is a color I watch closely, because heat treatment usually works against it rather than for it — vanadium doesn't behave the way chromium or iron does under heat, and it's easy to end up with a duller stone instead of a better one.
