0.74 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The captivating blue sapphire you are considering is a testament to both timeless beauty and exquisite craftsmanship. With its emerald cut, this gemstone presents a rare combination of classic elegance and modern sophistication. Measuring 6.01 x 4.06 x 3.08 mm, the sapphire weighs a notable 0.74 carats. When examining quality, size, and allure, this sapphire ticks all the boxes as a premium choice for any discerning gem enthusiast or investor.

Hailing from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries with it a prestigious pedigree that resonates through centuries of gemological history. Sri Lanka is renowned for producing some of the world's most vivid and striking sapphires. The gem's intense color intensity is evident at first sight, presenting a vibrant blue that evokes the depth of the ocean. The hue is unmistakable and holds a richness that is sought after by collectors worldwide. In comparison to sapphires from other notable locations like Madagascar and Kashmir, the Sri Lankan origin of this stone provides a more brilliant, lighter blue tone, which is a marker of its origin. This distinctly captivating hue is what makes Ceylon sapphires stand out among their counterparts.

The clarity grade of this particular sapphire is classified as very slightly included, a remarkable quality considering that most sapphires naturally have inclusions. These minor inclusions are only visible at eye level under close examination and do not detract from the stone's beauty or brilliance. In fact, the stone's clarity is carefully evaluated to ensure that none of these small inclusions impede upon the gemstone’s radiance or aesthetic appeal. This clarity represents not only the skilled hands of artisans who fashioned it but also the exceptional quality of the raw material from which it was derived. Boasting an excellent polish, it demonstrates a level of craftsmanship that allows its natural brilliance and color to shine through flawlessly.

Comparing this stunning sapphire to gems from other famous sapphire-producing regions, like the blue-grey multifaceted hue of Montana sapphires or the velvety darkness of those from Kashmir, our Ceylon sapphire offers a conspicuously unique color experience. Sapphires from Madagascar, while beautiful, often exhibit a slightly more pastel hue when compared to the deep intensity of the Ceylon sapphire's blue shade. This intense vibrancy seen in the stone from Ceylon creates a striking visual impact and an undeniable air of majesty. It is this quality that educated buyers seek when investing in a piece that not only embodies beauty but also carries intrinsic value.
