1.56 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush, verdant heart of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, nature yields treasures hidden beneath its ancient soils. It is here that this remarkable 1.56-carat cushion-shaped bi-color sapphire first began its journey. Nestled within the storied mines of this gem-rich land, where the tradition of sapphire mining has been refined across centuries, our sapphire awaited discovery and transformation. The blend of hues in this bi-color sapphire, an exquisite marriage of differing tones, mirrors the rich colors of the Sri Lankan landscape at sunrise, offering a piece of the island's soul for the beholder to cherish.

Once unearthed, skilled artisans at The Natural Sapphire Company carefully unveiled its splendor. Through masterful cuts, the mixed brilliant cut was chosen to reflect and refract light in a spectacular dance. Each facet serves to capture the sapphire's medium color intensity, augmenting its unique allure with every glance. While slightly included, this sapphire's clarity is more a mark of its journey, a testament to its natural origin rather than any imperfection. Its excellent polish ensures that when light caresses its surface, it returns with a radiant shimmer, perhaps more vivid than other gemstones within its category, communicating the stories it has held from nature's embrace.

While sapphires of various colors often compete for attention alongside their gemstone peers, our bi-color sapphire stands apart with a distinct duality. Unlike a monolithic single color, the transition between its colors adds a mystique and complexity akin to the famed Alexandrite or even the fine color play of certain tourmalines. This sapphire does not merely possess reflective qualities akin to those found in its category—rather, it invites engagement with its tones, offering an intimate narrative sealed within its lattice. At The Natural Sapphire Company, our dedication to presenting nature’s finest stones assures that each sapphire, including this, reflects a journey from the mystical lands of its birth to the finely crafted allure now at hand. It is a gemstone steeped in history and elegance, destined to evoke connections with both earth and the eras long passed.
