5.62 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The journey of this exquisite vivid blue sapphire begins deep within the ancient, mineral-rich grounds of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. Renowned for its wealth of natural gem reserves and centuries-old lapidary traditions, the island has been the vibrant birthplace of countless legendary gemstones. Embedded in the midst of Ceylon's lush terrain and subterranean labyrinths, this sapphire was formed through millennia of geological evolution, where heat and pressure crafted its basic composition, ultimately giving rise to its captivating blue hue. After its extraction, master craftsmen dedicated their expertise and passion to transform this raw treasure, accentuating its innate beauty through meticulous artistry as forged in the halls of gemstone history.

This particular sapphire has been shaped into a magnificent octagon, otherwise known as an asscher cut, which features step-like facets that resemble a mirrored staircase climbing toward the stone's crown. The precision of its geometric faceting is showcased as the sapphire refracts a dance of light with each shift in perspective, creating an interplay of brilliance and depth that enchants from every angle. The 5.62-carat sapphire was given the finest cut to allow maximum light play, which illuminates its vivid blue, sparking with an intensity that echoes the majesty of a twilight sky falling across tranquil waters. Notably eye-clean when evaluated at eye level, the gemstone aligns with the highest standards of clarity and purity, marred by no human faults nor natural imperfections to deter from its allure.

Certified by C.Dunaigre and provided the esteemed seal of verification, the sapphire carries with it the hallmark of trust and authenticity in the world of precious gemstones. Its hue, aptly dubbed 'Royal Blue,' speaks to a heritage of nobility and regal histories, inspiring imaginations and adorning patrons across generations. Enhancement by heat treatment, as per customary practices, ensures the vividness of color that's destined to last a lifetime.
