0.60 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the lush landscapes of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, lies the origin of a remarkable green sapphire. Emerging from the earth’s embrace, this gem spent countless millennia amidst layers of rich soil and undisturbed rock. The gem finds its genesis in the vibrant mines that have birthed some of the world's most exquisite sapphires. Carved by nature, each mineral melding over endless ages, this gemstone captured the brilliant essence of its homeland, where verdant greenery meets the unyielding stones and whispers of ancient civilizations. Miners, working with skilled hands and passionate hearts, unearthed this rare treasure carefully uncovering a vibrant testament to the earth's artistic capabilities. From these profound depths of Sri Lanka, this asscher cut sapphire comes as a gift both humble and magnificent, ready to embark on a new chapter in its journey.

At 0.60 carats with dimensions of 4.97 by 4.67 by 2.81 mm, the sapphire was carefully shaped and its journey of transformation began. The artisan, drawing inspiration from generations of gem cutters, meticulously crafted its octagonal silhouette, mindful of every facet, keen to unite the pragmatic with the artistic. Its asscher cut tells a story of precision, of light masterfully spiraling through its vertices with a clarity that is very slightly included, catching the eye like a whispered secret. The medium intense color infuses life into green hues reminiscent of emerald forests and tranquil glades, a vibrant dance of colors that gracefully shifts tones under different lights bringing an elegance and vivacity that knows no bounds. With its excellent polish, the sapphire achieves an allure that beckons an intimate connection, a promise held within its depths.

When set in jewelry, this gem offers a transformative quality that complements various skin tones, enhancing and echoing natural beauty. Its versatile shade of green, striking yet soothing, can harmonize with warm, bronzed hues or stand in exquisite contrast against cooler, fairer tones.
