0.98 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The blue sapphire has long held a place of prominence among the world's most revered gemstones, cherished for its ethereal beauty and deep-rooted symbolism. Our exquisite 0.98 carat cushion shape blue sapphire is no exception and pays homage to a heritage as rich as the soils of Ceylon from which it originates. This gemstone is a true descendant of the iconic sapphires that once adorned the crowns of kings and the treasure troves of collectors, a living testament to the elegance cherished by empresses and royalty throughout history.

Unlike the famed Star of India, known for its size and unique star-like refraction within the stone, our Ceylon sapphire boasts an alluring transparency and a coveted mixed brilliant cut that achieves the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. This particular cut maximizes its brilliance, ensuring that each facet captures light in a dance of vibrant hues. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we value attributes that deliver elegance and timelessness and this sapphire does both with flair. Its slightly included clarity grade invites admiration, revealing the stone’s genuine nature while still maintaining a captivating lure that is compareable to the magical allure found in the celebrated Kashmir sapphires of lore.

The intensity of this sapphire’s vivid color is nothing short of a masterstroke, a deep, resonant hue that reverberates with the qualities long associated with the stones revered throughout ancient cultural narratives. Just as the Ceylon-origin stones inspired devotion from ancient traders and explorers who revered their unparalleled quality, this sapphire captures the time-honored characteristics that speak to the heart of those who appreciate stones steeped in legacy. Offering a polished finish that mirrors the meticulous craftsmanship of a bygone era, this blue sapphire is a tangible slice of history and artistry from The Natural Sapphire Company to you.
