2.48 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush, verdant land of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, where the vibrant greens of the forests meet the deep blues of the ocean, lies the birthplace of our exquisite blue sapphire. This gem emerged eons ago, forming under the intense pressure and heat of the earth’s mantle, patiently waiting through the millennia to be unearthed by diligent hands. Sri Lanka's rich history of gemology stretches back over 2,500 years, with its sapphire mines yielding stones that have adorned the crowns of kings and the jewelry of many who cherished their deep, entrancing hues. Our 2.48-carat blue sapphire is not merely a testament to this rich heritage, but also a magnificent storyteller of its origin, elegantly captured within each facet and polished surface.

The sapphire, meticulously cut into a cushion shape, measures precisely 8.49 x 6.74 x 4.84 mm. Its distinct brilliance is brought to life through a mixed brilliant cut, highlighting its innate ability to captivate the eye with vivid flashes of azure and cerulean. When held to the light, its natural beauty is spectacularly revealed, glowing with an intensity that speaks of the ancient wisdom interwoven with each atom. This stone, possessing a very very slightly included (VVS) clarity grade, appears immaculate to the naked eye, enhancing its allure and culminating in an exquisite piece fit for any collection or occasion. The polished finish is a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of the artisans who have honed this jewel to perfection, ensuring every facet reflects the sapphire's inherent beauty and clarity.

While its physical attributes are undeniably compelling, the metaphysical properties attributed to the blue sapphire evoke a different kind of wonderment. For centuries, this gemstone has been revered not just for its beauty, but also for the profound sense of calm it is believed to bestow upon its wearer. Many cultures view the blue sapphire as a symbol of wisdom, virtue, and good fortune, often associating it with powerful spiritual energies. Traditionally, it has been thought to bring mental clarity and inner peace, helping to ease anxiety and foster emotional resilience. As a stone of learning, it is said to sharpen the mind, enhance mental acuity, and encourage excellent deliberative and organizational abilities.

In alternative healing practices, blue sapphires are thought to possess remarkable powers. They are revered for their potential to accelerate the healing process by aligning physical, emotional, and spiritual states. Often, they are used to open and heal the throat chakra, promoting clear communication and self-expression while discouraging untruths. Those in tune with holistic practices suggest blue sapphires help harmonize their energies with those of the earth, encouraging a state of balance and serenity. Each stone is a guardian of stories and energies unique to its own journey through the ages, offering those who wear it a tangible connection to nature’s power and history.
