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

In the heart of the lush landscapes and rolling hills of ancient Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies a tale woven through centuries, as enduring and captivating as the gemstone it seeks to tell of. Our story begins with the sapphire, a gem that has captured the admiration of royals and romantics alike since time immemorial. Held in the highest regard, sapphires were once believed to offer protection against envy and harm, symbolizing wisdom, virtue, and good fortune. It is said that the magisterial purplish blue hue of our oval-shaped sapphire evokes the twilight hours just after the sun has set, a time when the sky drapes itself in colors that inspire wonder and desire.
