For centuries, the allure of the blue sapphire has captivated hearts and transcended cultures. The natural blue sapphire we present, from the storied lands of Ceylon—now known as Sri Lanka—carries with it a rich legacy that echoes through time. The island, long celebrated for its precious gemstones, has been a cradle of sapphire mining since antiquity. To own a sapphire from this revered origin is not merely to possess a gemstone but to embrace a piece of history, a link to a tradition that has adorned the crowns of kings and queens, graced the altars of spiritual sanctuaries, and been cherished by discerning connoisseurs who appreciate its magnificence.

The 2.51 carat cushion-shaped blue sapphire before you is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship honed over generations. With dimensions of 8.22 by 6.75 by 4.83 millimeters, this gem has been masterfully cut into a mixed brilliant shape, enhancing its natural splendor and ensuring a display of spectacular light play. Its eye-clean clarity, evaluated precisely at eye level, assures there are no visible inclusions, allowing its vivid color intensity to shine unhindered. This intensity is a hallmark of Ceylon sapphires, renowned for their saturated hues and unmatched brilliance. The gem’s excellent polish further reveals the stone's inner azure shimmer, reminiscent of the serene and boundless skies, inviting one to ponder the depths of its celestial beauty.
