5.01 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When one thinks of exquisite gemstones throughout history, the brilliant gemstones that come to mind often include the legendary Hope Diamond or the exquisite Burmese rubies coveted by royalty. Yet, in the world of colored gemstones, the allure of sapphires is unparalleled, particularly when one considers the breathtaking quality and unique characteristics found in our exquisite Ceylon greenish blue sapphire. This piece, a stunning example from The Natural Sapphire Company, perfectly encapsulates the type of gemstone that has enchanted cutters, collectors, and aficionados for centuries.

At 5.01 carats, our emerald cut greenish blue sapphire offers sheer brilliance and remarkable transparency that places it among the elite class of sapphires found in the historic mines of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. These lands have been renowned for centuries as one of the prime sources for sapphires of intense color and superior clarity that rivals even the fabled Kashmir sapphires. While the dark color intensity of our sapphire ensures a deep, vibrant shade akin to the lush greenery of an untouched rainforest, its specific hue—a unique blend of green and blue—offers sophistication and rarity that is simply irresistible to the discerning eye.

What truly sets this gemstone apart is its precision emerald cut. This cut has been celebrated in the art of gem cutting since the Art Deco era for how it elegantly captures both the luster and color of the gemstone. When light plays across the perfectly polished and angled facets of our emerald cut sapphire, the effect is nothing short of mesmerizing, akin to staring into an exotic blue-green ocean. This finely honed artistry provides an excellent polish that enhances the gem’s visual appeal, granting it a magnificent shimmer comparable only to the finest pieces held in museum collections.

Moreover, the exceptional clarity of this sapphire ensures its overall allure. Given a clarity grade of eye clean, a robust feature respected by connoisseurs who appreciate transparency which does not distract from the pure beauty of the gem’s rich coloring. When juxtaposed against other high-profile gemstones from our extensive collection at The Natural Sapphire Company, you will find that this sapphire’s lack of visible inclusions at eye level renders it uniquely desirable, surpassing even those pieces graced by history’s most impressive collecting dynasties.

The origin of this gemstone from Ceylon enhances its value considerably. Sri Lankan sapphires have a pedigree tracing back millennia with historical records suggesting their use in royal jewelry and engagements of diplomatic marriages in antiquity, signaling both grandeur and timelessness. When selecting a gemstone as part of a distinguished collection or selecting an heirloom piece, an informed choice always considers origin. That provenance associated with this sapphire not only supports its high valuation but augments its appeal as a lasting investment or treasured token aligning with storied gems of royalty.

In conclusion, our 5.01 carat greenish blue sapphire stands as a brilliant testament to The Natural Sapphire Company’s talent in sourcing and crafting gemstones.
