0.96 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the verdant landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies a treasure trove of nature's wonders. It is here that our exquisite 0.96 carat pear-shaped blue sapphire began its journey. The island is renowned for its vibrant tapestry of gemstones, where centuries of geological wonders meet skilled craftsmanship. This particular sapphire, with its dimensions of 6.68 x 5.43 x 3.38 mm, embodies the rich, vivid hues of the Ceylonese landscape. The gem was carefully uncovered from its natural bed, each facet a testament to the island's mystical allure and a story that spans realms beyond ordinary perception.

Our blue sapphire distinguishes itself from more common gemstones with its stunning mixed brilliant cut, allowing every edge to sparkle with incredible radiance. As light interacts with the gem, it dances in a mesmerizing interplay typical of sapphires yet unparalleled in common stones like the diamond. While diamonds are appreciated for their crystalline clarity, this sapphire captivates with its depth of color, revealing vivid blues that seem almost otherworldly. Its clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, ensures that its inner beauty is unobscured, providing a canvas where light and color unfold effortlessly.

What sets this gemstone apart is not just its provenance but its cultural significance. Ceylonese sapphires have long been celebrated, woven into the royal regalia and adorning the crowns of rulers. The vibrant blue of this gem evokes old-world opulence, a hue so intense and vibrant it's akin to glimpsing into the depths of the ocean. Enhanced by precise heat treatment, this sapphire reveals a saturation and intensity, rendering it a piece of fine art designed by nature and polished by expert hands to meet excellence in its finish.
