1.01 Ct. Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The mesmerizing journey of our 1.01 carat pear-shaped greyish blue sapphire began millions of years ago beneath the ancient terrains of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. This geographic region is renowned for producing some of the world's most exquisite sapphires, and this gem embodies that legacy. Formed deep within the earth's crust, the sapphire originated from aluminum-rich corundum, crystallized under intense heat and pressure over countless millennia. This formation process imbued the gem with its uniquely enchanting greyish blue hue, a testament to the subtle blend of iron and titanium within its crystal lattice.
