The allure of the purplish blue sapphire has captivated mankind for centuries-making it a gemstone of choice for those who cherish history and tradition. This exquisite 5.22-carat Ceylon sapphire, with its captivating cushion shape, evokes the timeless beauty that has been admired across generations. Its transparent body, measuring 9.27 x 8.62 x 6.88 mm, reveals a purplish blue color with a very light intensity that finds its roots in the abundant gem-rich lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka.

The mixed brilliant cut of this sapphire reflects a craft honed over years-as gem cutters strive to accentuate the natural brilliance inherent within this remarkable stone.

Its very slight inclusions serve as testament to its natural formation-they tell a story quite unlike flawless gemstones produced through artificial means. In this aspect, the sapphire surpasses others with an individuality that appeals to those who value authenticity and tradition over mere perfection.
