This Ceylon sapphire continues that cherished tradition, and The Natural Sapphire Company is honored to present it in a way that respects its origin and honors its role as a carrier of emotion. The mixed brilliant cut of this oval gem has been chosen to bring out both sparkle and depth, to create flashes of light that mirror laughter, to hold a serene core that mirrors steadfast love. Because it is transparent and eye clean, light travels through it freely, creating an inner fire that will catch and return every glance you give it, and every glance that is given to it. The vivid color intensity ensures that the blue reads as true and alive from every angle, while the excellent polish means the surface is finished to a mirror like smoothness so that the gem sits with elegance in any setting.
