At 1.14 carats in a cushion, this Ceylon blue sits in the most consistently demanded center stone configuration in the sapphire engagement market — cushion-cut Ceylon blue above 1 carat in unheated quality. The cushion cut concentrates the blue saturation across the face, and unheated status preserves the natural color that made Ceylon the benchmark origin for fine 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\"This is a lighter, softer expression of Ceylon blue rather than the deep royal tone most buyers picture first — and that's exactly its appeal.
