0.83 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the verdant landscapes of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, a remarkable journey began deep within the earth. Here, amidst the lush rainforest and whistling winds, nature holds a treasure—one that emerges from its depths in whispers of blue. This is where our heritage and artistry intersect, crafting a legacy that has been cherished through the ages. Borne from the earth’s mysterious embrace, a single sapphire resides, cradled in the lap of time, waiting to tell its singular story.

Upon its discovery, this enchanting gem, with its 0.83 carats of vivid character, began its transformation. The sapphire’s shape—a finely cut emerald style—captures light in its geometrically precise planes, offering a dance of hues that vary from serene azure skies to the deepest ocean tides. These vibrant shades are due to a medium color intensity, creating a perfect balance that soothes yet intrigues the beholder’s eye. Through hands steeped in tradition and expertise, each facet is polished to an excellent sheen, revealing paths where light intersects in a mesmerizing, spectral show.

As you behold this stunning blue sapphire, you will find its dimensions—7.76 by 4.29 by 2.43 mm—carefully carved to magnify its inherent elegance. Within its translucent depths lies the true marvel—a clarity marked by very slight inclusions. These inclusions, nature's autograph upon the gem’s history, serve as unique identifiers that whisper subtle tales of its ancient birthplace. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we view these natural elements not as imperfections, but as chronicles of time, capturing moments speckled throughout its journey from the earth’s core. Each inclusion is a reminder of the liminal space between raw nature and sculpted beauty.
