0.71 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the lush emerald landscapes of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, where the air is rich with the earthy perfume of deep green rainforest canopies, there begins an extraordinary tale of natural splendor. It is here that the stunning gems of the land lie beneath, surrounded by a beauty untouched by time, harboring within them the stories of millennia. The journey of our unique sapphire finds its beginning in these tranquil surroundings. Friends of miners, the gentle elephants of Sri Lanka tread carefully along paths forged across centuries, leaving impressions in the soil where magical treasures await discovery beneath the ground. It is amidst such harmonious coexistence that our 0.71 carat oval blue sapphire first greets the world, sparkling with the potential of its future brilliance, cradled in the loving hands of those who understand the earth’s secrets.

The miner, with great care and respect for tradition, unearths the gem from its resting place. This is no simple task, but one enthused by reverence for the process that draws from both the wide-open sky above and the ancient grounds below. Our sapphire emerges from its origin coated in the rugged matrix that held its form, waiting patiently for the world to see its true nature. The artisan hands its destiny onward through dedicated skill refined over generations. As the azure twilight graces the horizon, these devoted craftsmen gently cleanse, cut, and polish, revealing the gemstone’s soul. The mixed brilliant cut, meticulously executed, teases light from every angle, promising elegance with every glance and a story told with every glimmer.

Thus, it finds its way to you — a delicate, yet bold blue iridescence captured forever in an exquisite and eye-catching form that fits perfectly in any jewelry setting. The medium intensity of its color conjures images of the boundless Indian Ocean sweeping ashore, where sea meets sky in a never-ending dance of blue upon blue. The natural inclusions within, the whispers of its existence, speak to the gem’s mysterious allure, a testament to its genuine creation from the heart of the Earth herself. Transcendent, it stands tall among its companions, a piece of the heavens’ own tapestry, bound securely in gold or silver, where it transforms, regardless of the touchstone, because of its intrinsic beauty.
