0.85 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, known as Ceylon, where rolling hills dip and rise like gentle waves, a journey begins that connects the depths of the earth to the elegance of human adornment. It is here among the fertile earth and tropical foliage that the story of our exquisite blue sapphire unfolds, an odyssey carved out over millennia within nature's vivid tapestry. Cradled under the emerald canopies, sheltered from the bustling world above, this blue sapphire, with its captivating transparency and enchanting hue, begins its life. Each mine nestled beneath Ceylon's serene highlands speaks of a rich history of gemstone discovery. The sunlight caressing the earth's surface above does not reach the sapphire directly, yet the stone absorbs the vibrancy and energy of its birthland. The result is a gem that captures the very spirit of Sri Lanka's exotic vistas through its arresting blue palette. This extraordinary 0.85 carat oval-shaped sapphire possesses dimensions of 6.11 x 5.14 x 3.59 mm, a testament to the fine craftsmanship that perfectly honors the gift offered by nature.

The mixed brilliant cut featured in this sapphire allows it to gleam resplendently with each movement, scattering rays of light in a whimsical dance that mirrors the sun's playful kisses on Ceylon’s ancient riverbeds. Though its clarity is classified as very slightly included, these natural inclusions are markers of the stone's authenticity, bits of history encapsulated within its crystalline structure, telling tales of volcanic activity and crystallization over millions of years. Its intense color intensity speaks volumes of the vivid stories held within its core—a deep azure reminiscent of the endless skies that stretch over Sri Lanka’s horizons, vast and inviting. With an excellent polish that accentuates its beauty, this sapphire reaches its final form with a surface so smooth and reflective that it appears as the rippling surface of a serene ocean under a tropical sun, each side catching the light with poetic grace.
