2.12 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the lush and mystical landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, the extraordinary journey of our exquisite padparadscha sapphire began. This island is famously rich in treasures, its earth infused with elements that birth some of the world's most stunning gemstones. Nestled beneath verdant foliage and nourished by tropical rains, the rough stone lay undisturbed for countless centuries, a hidden gem waiting for the right moment to shine.

Skilled local miners, drawing upon generations of knowledge, unearthed this rough wonder. Held carefully in their hands, it was not just a stone but a piece of the earth’s soul. As it was revealed to the light, its ethereal blend of pink and orange tones, reminiscent of the sacred lotus blossom, painted the story of nature’s artistry at its finest. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we honor this heritage, channeling nature’s craft through refined techniques.

Transported to our facilities, this 2.12-carat padparadscha sapphire was entrusted to master craftsmen.
