0.69 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, known to many as the storied land of Ceylon, a union of elements began its quiet dance deep within the earth. Here, under the weight of ancient rocks and the whisper of time, nature prepared a secret treasure. This jewel was not crafted in the expedient hands of the modern world but nurtured in the age-old deposits where fire and water conspired to bring forth beauty. The gemstone started as humble grains of corundum, secreted away in the belly of the island's fertile landscape. Over millennia, these grains transformed through pressures and temperatures, until they found their truth in a scintillating transparent cushion-shaped sapphire, weighing precisely 0.69 carats.
