1.20 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Across centuries the deep blue of a Ceylon sapphire has been a symbol of constancy and status, a gem worn by kings and cherished by pilgrims. This transparent pear shape sapphire weighs 1.20 carat, and it carries the legacy of Sri Lankan mines that have supplied the courts of Asia and Europe for generations. The teardrop silhouette speaks to a tradition of pendants and rings that honor vows and mark milestones, while the mixed brilliant cut breathes modern life into an age old form. Collectors and wearers who value heritage will recognize how the intense color intensity and the exceptional polish echo the classic Ceylon look that poets and jewelers have praised for centuries.
