0.88 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the lush, verdant landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, nature's alchemy gives birth to one of its most enchanting creations. Here, nestled among the bountiful hills and fertile terrains, lies a gemstone of profound elegance and unparalleled beauty. This 0.88 carat blue sapphire, with its remarkable dimensions of 5.91 x 4.22 x 3.65 mm, embarks on a journey from the embrace of the earth to the hands of artisans, destined to become a treasure of personal and cultural significance. The essence of its vivid hue captures the very soul of the terrain, where legends of ancient kings once roamed, and where every stone tells the stories of millions of years, crafted deep within the earth's embrace.

Complementing the serene and clear skies of its birthplace, this sapphire exudes an intense color intensity that draws one into a deep blue dream. It speaks to the tranquil depths of the Indian Ocean, mirroring the natural beauty of its home’s azure waters. This sapphire captures a hue so vivid, it conjures comparisons to the famed sapphires of Kashmir and Madagascar. Yet, it holds within it the distinctive soul of Ceylon, a signature touch that whispers tales of the island's unique environmental compositions and the geological treasures hidden below. Unlike the deep velvety blues of Kashmir sapphires, which seem to pull in light like a night sky, our Ceylon gemstone scatters brilliance with the clarity of a daytime ocean bound by the brightest sunlit sky. This is a stone that holds the power of nature's spectrum within its core, marveling those who gaze upon it.

Brought to life through the remarkable precision of an emerald cut, the sapphire's clean lines are designed to capture and reflect light with graceful subtlety. This cut, coupled with a clarity grade of very slightly included, offers a transparent vista into the stone’s heart, revealing its secrets while maintaining a perfect mysterious allure. Each facet narrates the journey of this gemstone, from the mines of Ceylon where skilled hands meticulously unearth it, to the cutting table where artisans pour over details with an eye for perfection.
