0.69 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the verdant landscapes of Ceylon emerges a stunning creation of nature, a testament to the earth's extraordinary beauty and history. Our exquisite 0.69 carat emerald cut blue sapphire begins its journey in the heart of Sri Lanka, where the sun-scorched waters meander through lands rich in geological history. These rivers have witnessed the passage of time and the creation of gems that hold stories as old as the earth itself. Our sapphire was born from the confluence of elements and time, a masterpiece of geological art that embodies the spirit and wonder of one of the world's oldest gemstone sources.

As the sapphire nestles beneath the cool kiss of the soil, miners commence their diligent labor, their hands trained by centuries of tradition. It is in the heart of these skilled artisans that the essence of Ceylon is realized, as they extract the sapphire with a reverence that calls upon the wisdom of generations. The very earth that once concealed this gem now reveals a treasure, boasting dimensions that echo the whispers of history: 6.27 by 3.92 by 2.95 mm. The blue sapphire's transparency, unfurling like a quiet morning sky, reflects the island's breathtaking vistas and secrets yet to be uncovered.

With a clarity grade marked as very slightly included when examined at eye level, this gem mirrors the allure of famous historical stones that once captivated royalty. Consider the Hope Diamond, known for its enigma and legacy. Although distinct in hue, like our sapphire it shares a history veiled in the majesty of natural allure. Our sapphire's intense color intensity needs no validation beyond what the eye perceives; it tells its own story with every glance, joining the pantheon of celebrated sapphires with grace and dignity. Its high polish is testament to skilled craftsmanship, akin to the legacy marble handled by Michelangelo himself.

The emerald cut, preferred by connoisseurs for centuries, magnifies the sapphire's peaceful yet profound presence, reminiscent of the legendary Engelhard Sapphire. Amid its precise and tapered steps lies a dance of light, reflections that captivate the beholder like a symphony. This cut not only pays homage to the gem's historical counterparts but also elevates its stature to art, capturing both the heart and imagination with an intimate brilliance. Through the meticulous hands of the craftspeople, the simplicity of this cut reveals complexity; its symmetry and lines invite the onlooker to explore depths unseen.
