1.57 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the ancient alluvial terraces of Ceylon, this sapphire began its journey as a speck of corundum hidden in river gravels, carried downstream by monsoon rains and bedrock erosion over millennia. Miners in Sri Lanka followed the old knowledge passed down through generations to find pockets where the earth yields these blue treasures, and from those pockets a rough crystal was gently taken, cleaned and examined for its promise. The island of Ceylon has produced some of the world s most sought after sapphires, stones that have been prized by kings and sailors, by healers and scholars, and that cultural lineage is present in every facet of this gem. The story of this sapphire is not only geological, it is human, a link between the land and those who read the subtle language of color and clarity, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this stone as a continuation of that story.

Skilled cutters then shaped the crystal into an elegant emerald cut to accentuate its deep blue, measured precisely at 1.57 carat with dimensions of 8.90 x 5.26 x 3.36 mm, clarity grade very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish that brings a mirror like gleam to every step facet. The emerald cut s long rectangular planes create a hall of light within the stone, allowing the vivid blue to breathe and move with each turn of the hand, while the excellent polish enhances brilliance and suppresses surface luster loss. For stability and to unlock the sapphire s most vivid hue this gem has undergone professional heat treatment, a time honored and widely accepted enhancement in the trade that gently improves color and clarity in a permanent way. From mine to bench to setting, The Natural Sapphire Company oversaw each stage with careful documentation and ethical sourcing practices, ensuring that the sapphire you receive is as transparent in origin as it is in body.
