AGL Certified Ceylon Blue Sapphire 1.15 ct Cushion Step Cut – Natural Loose

Designing an engagement ring with character? This certified natural Ceylon sapphire is cut as a cushion step cut, which gives it crisp, geometric reflections and a "hall of mirrors" depth instead of scattered sparkle. It's the look people want for Art Deco and vintage-inspired engagement rings, sleek bezel solitaires and east-west settings, and at just over a carat it's a classic ring size. It comes with an independent AGL report, so you and your jeweler know exactly what you're setting.

What makes the step cut special

A brilliant cut scatters light in every direction. A step cut uses long, parallel facets instead, so you see:

• Crisp, geometric reflections rather than scattered sparkle
• Deep transparency, so you can look into the stone
• A "hall of mirrors" depth effect
• Clean, architectural symmetry

It looks intentional and refined rather than flashy, which is why it suits Art Deco, vintage-inspired and minimalist designs.

For the engagement ring buyer

• Just over 1 carat, a classic ring size
• About 6 × 5 mm, which fits standard cushion settings
• Beautiful in a bezel solitaire or set east-west
• Mohs 9 hardness, made for everyday wear
• AGL certificate for you, your jeweler and your insurer

A gemstone for him: the men's signet ring

At Roho Jewels, we believe men deserve beautiful gemstones too. A natural Ceylon blue sapphire set into a signet ring is a bold, personal alternative to a plain metal signet: one-of-a-kind, full of character, and a ring he'll wear for decades and one day pass down.

• Signet face: at 6.36 × 5.53 mm, this stone suits a signet face of about 10–13 mm, a classic small signet or pinky ring
• Setting: flush (gypsy), bezel or half-bezel keeps it low and smooth, with no claws to catch on sleeves or gloves
• Depth: the stone is 3.5 mm deep, so ask your jeweler for a signet head at least 4.5 mm deep
• Metal: rich in yellow gold, sharp in white gold or platinum, rugged in oxidised sterling silver
• Wear: Mohs 9, second only to diamond, so it is tough enough for a ring worn every day
• Made for: a ring he'll wear every day, or to mark a wedding, a graduation or a milestone birthday

Why Ceylon

Sri Lanka has produced fine sapphires for more than two thousand years, and Ceylon is one of the most recognised sapphire origins in the world.

Birthstone meaning

Sapphire is the birthstone for September and the traditional gemstone for 5th and 45th wedding anniversaries, long a symbol of loyalty, wisdom and sincerity.

Perfect for

An Art Deco engagement ring, a bezel solitaire, an east-west ring or a men's signet, designed with your jeweler or by you as a designer: a natural choice for a September birthstone or a 5th or 45th anniversary.
