Sapphire - Cushion - 2.05ct
This natural apricot sapphire weighs 2.05 carats and is cut as an elongated cushion measuring 8.8 by 5.9mm. It is sourced from the Nivitigala mining region of Sri Lanka, a locale long known for warm, pastel-toned sapphires, and its color reads as a soft apricot that sits between peach and orange. Priced at $1,845, it is a September birthstone with the Mohs 9 hardness that makes sapphire a practical center stone for an engagement ring worn every day.
Bohemi does not sell loose stones on their own. Every sapphire is set into an engagement ring or built into a custom project designed with you, so this gem becomes part of a finished piece rather than a stone in a box. Heather and her team hand-select each stone at the Bohemi studio in Boulder, Colorado, and can pair this apricot cushion with platinum or reclaimed 14k and 18k gold.
A warm apricot sapphire looks at home in a solitaire, a three-stone design, or a low-profile bezel that shields the girdle over years of wear. If you want to picture how this stone could sit on the hand, browse our engagement rings.
