Origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka adds a storied provenance, as Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their rich, velvety blues and lively transparency, making this stone ideal for an engagement setting that will be worn daily. The mixed brilliant cut balances sparkle and color, concentrating the vivid blue hue in the heart of the gem while offering sparkling facets that play with light. At over ten carats this sapphire feels substantial on the finger, and thanks to sapphire’s renowned hardness and toughness it is underpinned by durability that suits an active life.
