1.01 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The journey of this exquisite blue sapphire begins in the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a land that has gifted the world some of the most captivating gemstones in history. Deep beneath the rich earth, this heart-shaped sapphire began its metamorphosis. Imbued with the vibrant energy of its homeland, its formation tells a tale of time immemorial. For millennia, geological forces shaped this treasure, bestowing upon it a unique character and charm. Our sapphire traveled through the ages until it was discovered, nestled in its natural cocoon waiting to be unearthed.

Expert hands first beheld this gem with awe, discerning its striking potential. Upon selection, the rough sapphire made its way from the heart of the Ceylon mines to the skilled artisans who understood the weight carried by 1.01 carats. These master craftsmen dedicated their efforts to transforming a raw piece of nature into a symbol of elegance and luxury. With painstaking precision, the sapphire was cut into a heart shape, its dimensions of 5.92 x 5.48 x 4.33 mm carefully honed. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize the stone's innate brilliance and scintillation, ensuring that each facet reflected light in an enchanting ballet of sparkle.

Under the jeweler's loupe, its slightly included clarity was examined, a testament to its authenticity as no two gemstones are alike, each markings like a fingerprint of its journey through time. While these inclusions hint at its birth amidst the tumult of molten earth, they do not detract from its allure. Instead, they enhance the sapphire's narrative by making it an embodiment of nature's artistry. The medium intense color intensity, a hallmark of premium quality sapphires, promises a depth and richness often described as the very essence of oceanic mysteries captured within its crystalline depths. This sapphire emerges not simply as a gemstone but as a token of nature's splendour sculpted by human expertise.
