Evaluating cushion cut sapphires requires a meticulous examination of the universally recognized 4Cs: 

1. Color:

• • Deep, evenly distributed color saturation is paramount and significantly enhances the value of any cushion sapphire.
  • The most coveted stones display rich, intense hues with minimal to no color zoning, ensuring vibrant appeal. 

2. Clarity:

• • Eye-clean sapphires with minimal internal inclusions are the most desirable.
  • While some natural inclusions are expected in genuine gemstones, they should never detract from the sapphire’s overall brilliance or transparency. 

3. Cut:

• • Precision in faceting is absolutely essential to maximize the sapphire’s sparkle and light return.
  • A meticulously cut cushion sapphire exhibits excellent symmetry and proportion, ensuring an even distribution of light throughout the stone.
  • The depth percentage is crucial: cuts that are too shallow or too deep can diminish the stone’s inherent brilliance and fire. 

4. Carat Weight:

• • It’s worth noting that cushion-cut sapphires may visually appear slightly smaller than round or oval cuts of identical carat weight due to their deeper pavilion.
  • However, their broad, open facets cleverly create an illusion of greater size and profound depth, adding to their unique charm. 

Why Faceting Precision is Crucial for Cushion Sapphires:

A well-proportioned cushion sapphire masterfully enhances both fire (the dazzling dispersion of color) and brilliance (the vibrant reflection of white light), solidifying its status as one of the most captivating and sought-after sapphire cuts.

The treatment status of a cushion sapphire significantly impacts its rarity and value. 

1. How Heat Treatment Enhances Color & Clarity:

• • Heat treatment is a widely accepted and standard gemological process used to optimize the color consistency and remove natural impurities within a sapphire.
  • This results in more vibrant, uniformly colored, and visually appealing cushion sapphires. 

2. Price Differences Between Heated & Unheated Cushion Sapphires:

• • Heat-Treated Cushion Sapphires: These are more common and generally more accessible in terms of price, offering exceptional beauty at a more affordable point.
  • Unheated Cushion Sapphires: Highly rare and uniquely valuable, these command premium prices due to their pristine, unaltered natural beauty and extreme scarcity. 

3. The Crucial Importance of Certification:

To verify authenticity and treatment status, CEYLONS strongly advises clients to always request certification from reputable gemological laboratories. We work with renowned institutions such as:

• • GIA (Gemological Institute of America)
