4.56 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Long ago, nestled within the verdant lands of Sri Lanka, commonly known in ancient times as Ceylon, a rare and magnificent blue sapphire began its timeless journey. Its story is intertwined with centuries of tradition, beautifully reflecting a legacy that has been cherished by connoisseurs of gemstones for generations. This transparent 4.56 carat cushion-shaped sapphire captures the essence of a bygone era, with dimensions carefully honed to the finest measurements of 9.67 x 9.65 x 5.75 mm. It bears witness to the exquisite craft of human hands, transforming a rough, earthly creation into a jewel of awe-inspiring brilliance.

Emerging from the depths of the rich Ceylonese earth, this sapphire was nurtured by nature for countless millennia. The lands of Sri Lanka have always been revered for yielding sapphires of exceptional quality, purity, and brilliance. Tales of these enchanting gemstones traveled along the trade routes of ancient explorers who sought to bring back treasures to adorn the crowns and jewels of royalty. Our sapphire’s unmatched clarity grade, certified eye-clean by the prestigious GIA, reflects a world untouched by flaws, a perfect embodiment of the serene waters and blue skies of its homeland.
