1.11 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the verdant landscapes of Ceylon, where the Earth whispers tales of ages past, our exquisite blue sapphire begins its journey. Hidden deep within the heart of lush, emerald forests and beneath the ancient soil, the sapphire forms over millennia, emerging as a marvel of nature's artistry. This island, now known as Sri Lanka, has been celebrated for its gemstones since the time of ancient explorers who marveled at its bounty. The Natural Sapphire Company sources this gemstone from ethical mines, ensuring that each piece not only radiates natural beauty but also respects the lands from which it hails.

As our miners uncover these hidden treasures, each gemstone tells a unique story. The vibrant sapphire we present to you was shaped by both time and the relentless sound of monsoons falling upon Ceylon’s rugged terrain. Painstakingly extracted, it first sees the light amidst the sounds of nature, birds serenading its reveal with vibrant calls. This 1.11 carat wonder exudes a brilliant blue, a color so intense it mirrors the deepest tropical seas surrounding its island birthplace. Its cushion shape, evoking the timeless allure of elegance, was conceived by artisans with a deep reverence for nature's gifts.
