0.59 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the verdant landscapes of Sri Lanka, where the sky blurs into a tapestry of rolling green hills and the distant echoes of the oceans whisper their age-old secrets, a wondrous gemstone begins its journey. Amidst this paradise known as Ceylon, an island renowned for its dazzling array of gemstones, a single blue sapphire lay waiting deep within the embrace of the earth. This is not just any sapphire, but a 0.59-carat marvel, distinguished by its captivating round shape and transparent allure, destined to become a jewel of incomparable beauty.

For centuries, the miners of Ceylon have sought out these precious stones, guided by both tradition and the natural allure of the land. Each sapphire extracted from beneath the surface is unique, imbued with the rich history and culture of its origin. This particular sapphire, with its dimensions of 5.01 by 4.99 by 3.21 millimeters, was revered by those who uncovered it for its medium intense color intensity, a hue that lingers somewhere between the azure of daylight and the deep blue of twilight, capturing both the imagination and admiration of all who beheld it.
