From deep within the rich soils of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, the journey of a captivating blue sapphire begins. Embedded within the heart of nature, this precious gem is cradled in the earth, amidst the verdant landscapes and vibrant ecosystems. For generations, the island of Sri Lanka has been synonymous with the finest sapphires, treasures hidden beneath its lush terrain. It is here in these fertile lands that our exquisite blue sapphire, weighing 1.14 carats and shaped into a perfect round form, finds its origin.

The process of unveiling this sapphire is an intricate dance between human skill and nature’s secrets. In the mountains, rivers, and ancient mines of Sri Lanka, miners toil with dedicated precision, respecting the land that has blessed them with such wealth.

Once the sapphire is unearthed, skilled hands craft this gem with relentless devotion to create its final form. Through the art of the mixed brilliant cut, each facet is cleaved and polished to perfection, enhancing its brilliance and capturing the very essence of the sky and ocean. The sapphire exhibits a medium light color intensity, reminiscent of cerulean skies after a summer rain.
