1.10 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Beneath the lush canopies of Sri Lanka's verdant lands, where the earth seems to pulse with the ancient secrets of gemstones, lies the origin of our exquisite sapphire. This region, known historically as Ceylon, is famed for producing some of the most breathtaking sapphires the world has ever seen. In this land, where the whispers of rain echo through the valleys and the sun catches the morning mist in a dazzling display, skilled hands unearth treasures that the earth has crafted for millennia. Among these treasures, The Natural Sapphire Company discovered a magnificent 1.10 carat cushion-shaped sapphire that bears the mark of its storied origin, possessing an allure that captivates and enchants.

The stone's mixed brilliant cut captures the essence of the vibrant environment it hails from, transforming the intense color intensity into a dance of light and shadow. This sapphire exhibits a remarkable clarity, earning the grade of very slightly included, a testament to nature's artistry. Its tone rivals the azure waters around Sri Lanka, reminiscent of the seam where the clear sky kisses the ocean at sunset. Compared to its counterparts from other celebrated origins, such as the velvety blues from Kashmir or the vibrant stones of Madagascar, this sapphire holds its place with pride, its unique hue a symphony of Ceylon's untamed beauty.

The blue sapphire before you is not merely a jewel; it is a narrative, a letter from the pulse of Ceylon's terrain to the world beyond. With every pass of its fine edges, it narrates the monsoons that lent it elixirs, the arid summers that instilled its strength, and the robust earth that cradled it through centuries of gestation. When adorned, it becomes more than a possession, more than an adornment. It is an heirloom to be passed along, each owner adding to its chronicle, weaving new tales with its vibrant blues.
