Buying a loose gemstone gives you independence, you get the freedom to make your own choice, your own jewelry design.
A natural 1.60 carat green sapphire in an emerald cut, from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), completely unheated. Green sapphire is corundum colored by iron, producing a range from mint through olive to deep forest. The emerald cut on this stone emphasizes its clarity and the purity of its green — step facets create interior depth rather than surface sparkle, making this a quieter, more architectural stone than brilliant-cut alternatives. Ceylon green sapphires are rarer than blue or yellow from the same source.
Why Choose this 1.60 ct Unheated Green Ceylon Sapphire?
Unheated green sapphire from Ceylon in an emerald cut is an unusual combination — most emerald cuts in the market are blue or white sapphire, and most Ceylon greens are cut in oval or cushion. This 1.60 ct stone offers the architectural quality of step-cut faceting in a color that is distinctly less common than the blue or yellow from the same origin. At 1.60 carats, the size also exceeds the sub-1-carat range where most unheated green sapphires are sold.
