0.85 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Millions of years ago, deep within the ancient geological formations of what is now known as Sri Lanka, an extraordinary process began slowly giving birth to a gemstone of unparalleled beauty and value. Under immense heat and pressure, elements such as aluminum and oxygen mingled with trace amounts of iron and titanium. This mingling led to the formation of corundum crystals, eventually manifesting as the stunning blue sapphire we present today, meticulously sourced and carefully reproduced by The Natural Sapphire Company.

This particular sapphire, possessing a weight of 0.85 carats, demonstrates the intersection of art and science through its mixed brilliant cut, optimizing both brilliance and visual appeal. Crafted with dimensions of 5.99 x 5.96 x 3.13 mm, the gemstone exhibits a level of precision and symmetry that reflects the craftsmanship dedicated to creating an object of transcendent elegance. Each facet is meticulously calibrated to maximize the gemstone’s inherent luster and ensure that the deep blue tones are refracted to captivate the gaze of any observer. Such cutting proficiency not only emphasizes the intense color saturation inherent to the stone but also complements its eye-clean clarity grade, which is evaluated at eye level and confirms the absence of detectable inclusions to the unaided eye.

Sri Lanka, or Ceylon as historically known, is renowned for producing sapphires of exceptional quality. This origin is synonymous with the kind of high-grade sapphires esteemed by connoisseurs and collectors alike. Its intense color intensity, a visually profound blue that harks back to the very processes at the earth’s crust four hundred million years ago, testifies to Mother Nature’s artistic prowess and time's inexorable march. The excellent polish of the sapphire serves as the final flourish, achieving a mirroring effect that harmonizes with the gemstone’s overall clarity and hue.

The fascination in this sapphire lies not only in its visual allure but also in the intricate story of its evolutionary journey from the depths of the earth to its modern finely cut form. This piece represents more than just a gemstone; it is a legacy, showcased today by The Natural Sapphire Company, the same way it has fascinated mankind ever since it was first unearthed. Through our commitment to quality and authenticity, this blue sapphire is transformed from a geological marvel into a piece of heirloom-grade jewelry, ready to adorn and endure across generations.
