1.59 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Nestled deep within the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, known to the world as Ceylon, lies the birthplace of our exquisite blue sapphire. This land, renowned for its breathtaking scenery and rich history, delivers some of the most remarkable sapphires known to man. Born from the unique geological conditions of this tropical paradise, our sapphire begins its journey amidst the riotous greens of the island's highlands. The azure depths of the gemstone reflect the endless vistas of the Indian Ocean that lap upon the island’s shores. The labor of miners, seasoned by the passage of time, draws these raw treasures from the earth with a mix of art and skill. In the crystalline streams and rugged mountains, where rich alluvial deposits hide their gifts from mere passersby, men toil in harmony with their surroundings to unearth the beauty that has been millions of years in the making.

The gem, once freed from its rocky cradle, embarks upon another voyage, transforming from a rough stone to a facet of beauty that dazzles with every shift of light. Entrusted to the nimble hands of master craftsmen, the sapphire undergoes an alchemical change of sorts. With careful precision, using techniques honed over generations, they sculpt the once unremarkable rock into a beacon of brilliance, ensuring each facet captures and refracts light with flawless precision. Our blue sapphire, with its ideal round shape and a perfectly crafted mixed brilliant cut, speaks to both modern elegance and timeless tradition. Each turn of this gemstone reveals an intense color intensity, a true testament to its storied origin and meticulous preparation. Its exceptional polish ensures a reflective surface so fine that it enriches the gem’s inherent allure, elevating it into a piece of sophistication that is unparalleled by more common stones.

In comparison to commonly found gemstones, such as the ubiquitous diamond or the prolific amethyst, this blue sapphire of Ceylon possesses an individuality that both ignites imagination and appreciates its distinguished provenance. Whereas the former may often boast mere clarity or hardness, the sapphire's depth of color tells the tale of its ancient beginning in sun-drenched lands far across the ocean. While diamonds may be a traditional symbol of rarity, it is this sapphire's vivid blue shade, unmarred by inconspicuous inclusions, that captures the depth and mystery of hidden lagoons and the endless heavens above Sri Lanka. More than just a feast for the eyes, it’s suffused with a heritage that speaks volumes to those who are in tune with the world's hidden beauties and ready to embrace the charm this gemstone offers.

Throughout its journey, from mineral-rich Sri Lankan soils to the loving touch of our artisans and ultimately into the collection of The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire has been intertwined with a story of nature, culture, and craftsmanship unparalleled by ordinary treasures. It stands as a testament to the profound bond we share with the earth and the diligence we pride ourselves on in preserving its wonders. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this transparent 1.59 carat blue sapphire of exquisite character and charm, inviting you to partake in its journey which is as vast and vibrant as the seas it once mirrored.
