2.40 Ct. Purplish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the lush rolling hills and verdant landscapes of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, emerges a gemstone of exceptional allure—a radiant shaped purplish blue sapphire that measures 8.04 x 7.87 x 4.20 mm and weighs an impressive 2.40 carats. The journey of this gem began millions of years ago deep within the earth's crust, where heat and pressure worked their natural magic to form this extraordinary sapphire. Residing in a land renowned since ancient times as the "Island of Gems," this sapphire's story is deeply entwined with the rich cultural heritage and artisanal craftsmanship that define its exquisite beauty. As it lay nestled in the embrace of Sri Lanka's mineral-rich soils, it was cradled by myriad forces, each playing a part in sculpting its distinct characteristics that are cherished today.

The sapphire's inherent beauty was carefully unveiled through the skilled hands of master gem cutters who, with a profound understanding of the gemstone's nature, transformed it into a radiant cut masterpiece. This intricate process is where art meets tradition. Each angle was meticulously shaped to achieve a beacon of brilliance that radiates from within. The clarity grade of "very slightly included" means that even to the keen observer’s eye, any natural inclusions remain subtle and unobtrusive, contributing to its charm rather than detracting from it. The medium intense color intensity infuses the gem with a mesmerizing hue—a purplish blue that mirrors the twilight sky, filled with mysteries and promises. Underlying this perfect hue is an excellent polish that allows light to enter and reflect beyond the eye perceives, enhancing its innate beauty from every perspective and every glance.
