1.41 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the lush realm of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, nestled among ancient rock formations and majestic mountains, a remarkable journey began. Eons ago, within the depths of the earth, intense geological forces combined with extraordinary mineral conditions to give birth to a precious sapphire of unparalleled beauty. This natural marvel matured over countless centuries, waiting patiently to be discovered. This is the story of our exquisite blue sapphire, weighing 1.41 carats, skilfully cut into a classic cushion shape. Its dimensions, measuring 6.75 by 5.32 by 4.30 mm, speak to the artisan care behind its transformation from raw crystal to the brilliant gemstone that you behold today.

As expert miners traversed the fertile landscapes of Sri Lanka, they paid homage to traditions passed down through generations. These laborers, adept in their craft, work diligently to unearth gemstones entwined with the heritage of their forebears.

With its intense color and exceptional transparency, this sapphire mirrors the enchanting blues of the Indian Ocean.
