0.78 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the Earth, where pressure meets possibility, there began a story of beauty and endurance that would remain untold for millions of years. Nestled beneath the surface of Sri Lanka, an island steeped in history and mystery, a breathtaking transformation was taking place. Here, under layers of ancient soil and rocky embrace, a small yet exquisite treasure was slowly being crafted by nature’s own patient hands. This was no ordinary creation. It was a sapphire of remarkable hue. Blue as the evening sky and serene as tranquil seas, this gem emerged as a testament to the artistry of time itself.

Sapphires from Ceylon have graced royal jewels, adorned crowns, and served as symbols of elegance for centuries. Their origins are as old as the earth’s core, making each gem as timeless as the island’s traditions.
