3.65 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the lush tropical forests of Sri Lanka, where the air is kissed by the salty embrace of the Indian Ocean, a secret that lay beneath the earth's surface awaited an encounter with destiny. Here, among the verdant hills and sprawling landscapes, deep within the gem-rich mineral deposits, a blue sapphire begins its journey. This enchanting 3.65-carat gem, now boasting a remarkable emerald cut and medium light color intensity, was formed over millions of years. The sapphire began as a tale untold, whispered among geologists and local miners alike, hopeful of the day sunlight would awaken its latent brilliance. Within the small rural villages where gem culture pervades everyday life, the community has partnered with us at The Natural Sapphire Company, their skill honed over centuries, to bring this sapphire to light, balancing practices deeply rooted in tradition with innovative mining techniques.

As skilled hands descend upon the mineral-rich soil, each moment is executed with precision and care. These artisans, the unsung heroes who transform earth into beauty, recognize every notch, every angle, and every slight imperfection as contributing to the identity of this sapphire. Their meticulous eye grades its clarity, acknowledging the interplay between the sapphire's slight inclusions and the rich history embedded within its 9.66 x 6.73 x 5.36 mm dimensions. Unlike any industrialized process, the journey from rough stone to finished stone is sacred, promising a handcrafted transformation that prioritizes the stone's originality and charm. This transformation is reminiscent of the music one might hear, the attuned hum of the craftsman's saw against sapphire, the slightest of splashes as minerals make way for light. It is in this union of historic craftsmanship and nature's innate elegance that the true value and rarity are found.

Once removed from the ground, the sapphire must endure the complex journey of crafting and refinement.
