1.61 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush, verdant heart of Sri Lanka, draped in the footsteps of majestic mountains and nestled amid the symphony of the rainforest, lies the cryptic origin of one of Earth's most exquisite treasures—a 1.61-carat cushion-shaped blue sapphire. From nature's canvas, brushed vividly across the island's rich landscape, this azure marvel was unearthed. Beneath the watchful gaze of the subtropical sun, Sri Lanka, or Ceylon as it was once known, dons the mantle of a historical haven for these precious stones, each forged in the Earth's bosom over millions of years and awaiting their destined revelation.

Yet, not all that nature bestows bears the mark of uniqueness quite like this sapphire. With a transparent allure and dimensions of 7.09 by 5.87 by 4.00 mm, it stands distinguished not merely for its cut but also for its color—a medium intense blue, reminiscent of a serene ocean meeting the horizon. Unlike other gemstones that merely capture the eye, this one is a symphony of light and shade, playing a silent tune of the geological artistry of its creation. The mixed brilliant cut enhances its color intensity, unveiling a plethora of constantly shifting hues as the stone encounters light from every angle.

Not merely its impressive carat weight marks its rarity, but the uniquely vivid blue that sets this particular sapphire apart from its kin. The clarity, rated as very slightly included, ensures a purity that few stones of its magnitude boast, mean this sapphire engenders a special connection between its beholder and the storied corridors of nature's history. Our master craftspeople, with a reverence for both tradition and creativity, have polished this sapphire to a state of unparalleled excellence—a mirror in which the soul of nature is reflected. Thus, with pride and passion, we invite you to embark on your own journey with this extraordinary gemstone, each facet a chapter and the sapphire an eternal story whispering from the depths of the earth.
