What is a sugarloaf sapphire?
A sugarloaf gemstone is one that is cut in the cabochon style, meaning there are no facets but a smooth, polished surface. The term sugarloaf means that the gem has a conical shape with four sides creating a rounded pyramid on top, while the bottom is still flat. This cut was frequently used with sapphires and some other gemstones. Shop a collection of authentic sapphire jewelry from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
