1.14 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, where verdant hills cascade into sapphire blue waters, lies the origin of a truly magnificent gemstone. Here, in the heart of nature’s splendor, our green sapphire began its journey. Unearthed from the depths of time-honored mines, this sapphire is a testament to the earth's ancient artistry. With a history etched into its crystalline facets, it captures the old-world charm of Ceylon, the renowned homeland of some of the world's most exquisite gemstones.

This 1.14-carat cushion-shaped sapphire, measuring 6.34 by 4.84 by 4.05 millimeters, is a marvel born of nature's grandeur. Unlike lab-grown gemstones, which are created under controlled conditions devoid of the earth's touch, this natural sapphire exudes a spirit of authenticity. Its vivid color intensity—a lush green that dances with the promise of spring—speaks to its organic formation, a process that took millennia beneath the rich soils of Sri Lanka. The unique hue is not merely a visual delight; it is a whisper of the vibrant land from where it emerged, a gentle nod to the landscape that cradled it for centuries.

In comparison to lab-grown alternatives, this natural sapphire possesses a depth that can only be crafted by the hand of time. Each one of its mixed brilliant cut facets reflects light in a symphony of sparkle and mystery, polished to make it glimmer with breathtaking clarity. Though it bears very slight inclusions, graded at eye level, these tiny imperfections are not flaws. Rather, they are the marks of its individual story, reminiscent of nature’s unpredictability. They evoke the journey of its creation, from gemstone to jewelry, emphasizing a connection to a realm beyond man-made laboratories. This sapphire isn’t just a gemstone; it is a timeless narrative, connecting wearers to the earth itself, and offering a piece of Ceylon’s rich heritage.

Our 1.14-carat green sapphire is an invitation to partake in a tradition as old as the island nation from which it came.
