0.84 Ct. Purplish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the verdant hills of Ceylon, where the earth conceals its treasures beneath lush tropical canopies, begins the remarkable journey of our exquisite purplish-blue sapphire. Revered as a land of abundant gemstones, Sri Lanka—historically known as Ceylon—has provided a landscape rich in cultural history and unparalleled natural beauty for millennia. It is from this storied earth that our sapphire, with its unique 0.84 carats and dimensions of 7.03 x 4.96 x 2.59 mm, emerges. As miners carefully unearth these gemstones, they become stewards of a longstanding legacy, mindful of both the intricate craftsmanship required to unearth such gems and the cultural narrative they embody.

Once transported from the mine, the sapphire embarks on a transformative journey, undergoing meticulous cutting and polishing to reveal its true splendor. Its emerald cut serves to heighten the intensity of its medium intense, purplish-blue hue, a color that evokes the deep, endless skies over Ceylon. The clarity of this particular gemstone is outstanding; it boasts a grade of ‘very slightly included,’ signifying its stunning purity when viewed at eye level. Such quality is testament to the careful consideration taken at every stage of its refinement, ensuring the finished gem not only reflects light but also the centuries-old traditions of the craft.
