1.13 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush and verdant hills of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where the air is thick with history and the soil rich with the mineral blessings of the Earth, a story begins. Centuries ago, these lands beheld the birth of remarkable gems, clutched tightly in the depths of the earth. Amidst this geological theatre, a particular blue sapphire embarked on its silent journey, waiting to be discovered. As the morning mist rolls gently over the plains and the song of tropical birds fills the air, determined miners, driven by age-old tradition and the promise of wonder, carefully search the humble rivers and deep terrains. It is here, in this cradle of creation, that our magnificent 1.13 carat pear-shaped blue sapphire was unearthed, untouched by time and man until now, patiently lying in wait for the right hands to unveil its inner splendor.

Upon discovery, each sapphire carries within it an essence of its homeland, mirroring the serene blues of the island skies and the preceding waves of the Indian Ocean that unfailingly kiss Sri Lanka’s shores. When this truly special gem reached the artisans of The Natural Sapphire Company, it was not merely a raw stone that arrived but the soul of a flourishing paradise, yearning to tell its enchanting tale through brilliance and fire. Understanding the singular beauty tucked within this sunlit heart, gemstone craftsmen approached their task with reverent precision, incorporating efficiency and tradition in tandem. It is through their skill and veneration for nature that this sapphire, hallowed and unforgettable, commences a metamorphosis into an emblem of enduring elegance.

Transforming from a rough spectacle of nature into an artifact of radiant allure, the sapphire experiences its carefully curated transformation, passed from practiced hand to practiced hand. The guardians of balance and light within The Natural Sapphire Company diligently sculpt its facets, choosing a mixed brilliant cut that allows each surface to harness a symphony of luminosity. It is within this meticulous arrangement that the gem intimately unravels what lies within; not just in color, but in stories embedded deep in crystal lattice. Light falls upon the sapphire, cascades down its deliberate pear-shaped pavilion, and is captured, held, and transformed into a glowing fountain of blue. This cut takes what beauty the stone holds naturally and elevates it, casting light back into the world with the playful elegance of a breeze through the leaves of a banyan tree, forming beams of brilliance on all who may glance upon it.

As one gazes into the heart of this gem, they witness both the calmness and depth of the clearest Ceylonese lagoons embroidering the fabric of its existence in hues of intense blue. The symphony entices the mind back to the tranquility of those distant shores where its story began. The eye-clean clarity of the sapphire allows an unrivaled transparency and openness, devoid of the worldly impurities that obscure the vision of its truths. Polished to perfection, it functions as a gateway, an open invitation into a universe unseen, a hypnotic dance of light and color within a canvas measuring 8.52 x 4.89 x 3.57 mm. Each angle and edge skillfully ensures that light not only enters but bursts forth again, revealing the stone's ethereal inner light with every gracious turn.

The life of this sapphire, forged through earth and expert hand reflects a journey from the cradle of natural abundance into an artful masterpiece of varied brilliance and enduring grace.
