1.36 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the lush landscapes of Ceylon, a timeless jewel begins its journey to captivate hearts and minds across the world. Nestled within the verdant terrain of Sri Lanka, the earth yields treasures only nature can conjure. Our blue sapphire, poised in majestic splendor, tells a tale as ancient as the hills from which it hails. Bathed in the warm, golden sunlight and nourished by the rich, fertile soils, this gemstone is born. It is a testament to the enduring allure that makes Ceylon sapphires renowned across the globe. The island's unique geological conditions bestow upon its gemstones a vibrancy memorialized through centuries of admiration.

This particular sapphire, weighing 1.36 carats and expertly fashioned into an elegant pear shape, embodies the zenith of natural beauty and human craftsmanship. The gem boasts dimensions of 9.48 x 4.52 x 4.26 mm and showcases a mixed brilliant cut, enhancing its dazzle and depth. Its medium intense blue hue adds a layer of mystique that is at once both profound and exquisitely delicate. The blue of a Ceylon sapphire rivals the famed gemstones of Kashmir, whose deep velvety blues are legendary, yet holds a brighter clarity that belongs distinctly to its Ceylonese origin. Moreover, it finds affinity with the vivid blues of the Madagascar sapphires, though the Ceylon gem reflects a light that dances gently across its surface with unmatched grace.

The clarity grade, very slightly included at eye level, whispers of its authenticity. These minor inclusions remind one that nature's hand has sketched subtle signatures within its crystal canvas. The sapphire's excellent polish attests to the skill of the craftsman who, honoring both tradition and innovation, has sculpted the stone's surface to sparkle with clarity. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we take pride in cherishing such magnificent stones. We are custodians of history, bringing to light these marvels of nature, polished to perfection, and imbued with stories that transcend time.

In choosing this Ceylon sapphire, one finds a connection that goes beyond the tangible. It is a journey through time, geography, and culture—an invitation to hold history in one's hand. The sapphire, with its serene elegance, captures the essence of Sri Lanka’s sapphire legacy, making it more than just a gemstone. It becomes a keepsake of earth's artistry and humanity's enduring quest to appreciate and honor beauty in its purest form. It is our honor and joy at The Natural Sapphire Company to present this exquisite sapphire, knowing it may find a cherished place in your life's story.
