0.92 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Nestled amidst the verdant hills and lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies the birthplace of one of the world's most revered gemstones—the blue sapphire. With its rich velvety hue and storied past, the Ceylonese sapphire stands as a testament to nature's artistry and timeless beauty. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to offer an exquisite 0.92 carat blue sapphire, cut in a classic emerald shape that echoes the elegance of bygone eras. Measuring 6.12 x 4.11 x 3.26 mm, this sapphire captivates with its remarkable clarity and saturated color, making it an unparalleled choice for those who cherish tradition and the enduring allure of fine gemstones.

The intense color intensity of this sapphire resonates deeply with the azure depths of the Indian Ocean that gently caress Sri Lanka's shores, yet it possesses a unique vibrancy that sets it apart from sapphires sourced from other parts of the world. Unlike the sapphires from Kashmir, known for their velvety cornflower blue tone, or the striking brilliance of their Burmese counterparts, our gem possesses a distinct cerulean pigment that is simultaneously soothing and bold. This alignment of hue and character imparts a sense of depth and introspection, reminiscent of serene twilight skies and the tranquil beauty of an undisturbed lagoon.

Crafted with precision and care, this gemstone's emerald cut furthers its allure by showcasing a sophisticated play of light akin to glistening reflections on a serene lake. The cut not only enhances its color but also celebrates the stone’s internal clarity. Rated at a very slightly included clarity grade at eye level, it allows the viewer an unobstructed glimpse into the heart of the stone, offering a window into the mystical allure that has captivated civilizations for centuries. As empires rose and fell, and as the world evolved, Ceylonese sapphires continued to be sought after by royalty and collectors, admired for their unique essence and the tales of their legendary origins.

This sapphire's journey from the depths of the earth to its refined form is a testament to the dedication and skill of the artisans who ensure each facet is perfected. The excellent polish accentuates the stone's native brilliance, inviting one to pause and appreciate the craftsmanship involved in unveiling one of nature's most revered treasures. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are committed to preserving the legacy and tradition of fine gemstones, inviting you to be part of a history that spans millennia. Whether set in a timeless piece of jewelry or treasured as an heirloom, this sapphire is more than just a gem—it is a connection to the past, and a promise of the enduring beauty and infinite possibilities of the future.
