1.08 Ct. Peach Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep in the lush, verdant hills of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a precious gemstone lay dormant for millennia. It was cradled in the earth's embrace, slowly forged by the fiery depths and the passage of time. This stone, a rare and glorious peach sapphire, was brought to light only by the skilled hands of local miners who have passed down their craft through generations. With great care and reverence, they delve deep into the mines, coaxing these jewels from their ancient resting places. Each sapphire unearthed carries with it a whisper of its storied origin, a bond between nature's wild beauty and human touch. As the golden sun cascades across the breathtaking landscapes of Ceylon, it hints at the vibrancy that will soon be coaxed from within the stones.

The natural beauty of Sri Lanka's valleys finds its parallel in our exquisite 1.08-carat oval peach sapphire, a gem that captures both the verdant tranquility of Ceylon's terrain and the fire of the sunlit skies above. Meticulously sourced and ethically mined, the gem narrates its own tale of earth’s profound history. Upon reaching our skilled gem cutters, the sapphire undergoes a magnificent transformation.

It's as if the sun itself were captured within the stone, each beam spun through its geometric faceting creating an entrancing play of light that draws the viewer deeper into the gem's heart.

Every angle and surface has been crafted with purpose, maximizing the sapphire's innate characteristics.
