In comparing its hue and tonal qualities to those of gemstones hailing from other illustrious regions like Southeast Asia or Africa, this sapphire from Ceylon offers a distinctive and unrivaled allure. Sapphires from Ceylon, known as Sri Lanka, are celebrated for their vivid and intense color palette, a testament to their geological origins. This particular sapphire's greenish-blue tone sets it apart from the deeper, velvety blues found in stones from India or the pastel, dreamy hues typical of Madagascar sapphires. Its intense color intensity is a defining characteristic that elevates it to a class of its own, capturing the robust vibrancy associated with Ceylon's revered sapphire mines.

The precision of the Asscher cut, a style developed in the early 20th century, is pivotal to enhancing the sapphire's natural beauty. Carefully angled facets create an alluring depth, which maximizes the stone's luminosity and amplifies its color saturation. This technique, requiring meticulous craftsmanship, embodies the exquisite standards upheld in our collections at The Natural Sapphire Company. The cut ensures a reflection worthy of the gemstones from acclaimed European ateliers of past eras, making each sapphire not merely a stone, but a curator's dream.

Our greenish-blue Ceylon sapphire's allure is further enhanced by an excellent polish that enriches its surface with an immaculate finish. This crucial final touch ensures a dazzling presentation, akin to the brilliance expected of gemstones featured in royal collections.
