1.58 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Beneath the vibrant soils of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies a realm of unparalleled beauty and mystery. It is here, amidst verdant landscapes kissed by tropical rains, that the earth cradles one of its most enchanting treasures: the purple sapphire. This particular gem, exuding a majesty rarely witnessed, draws its regal hue from the bowels of nature's splendid palette. The journey of this gemstone, deeply embedded in the heritage of its origin, begins far from the bustling domains of civilization, under layers of time-honed elements conducive to its formation. For centuries, the soil here has harbored these rare wonders, where their existence is a symphony of geological artistry combined with ancient mystique.

Our exquisite 1.58 carat star of Ceylon, an oval-shaped purple sapphire, is a testament to this divine artistry. Nature, in all her majesty, lent it a bewitching tone of purple, a color so intense yet delicately poised. One cannot help but be drawn to its dimensions, at 8.17 x 5.97 x 3.43 mm, as this sapphire invites light to dance across its surface. It derives its magnificence from the consummate mixed brilliant cut, crafted to exude brilliance from every angle, intensifying the inherent beauty of this earthly revenant. This sapphire possesses a clarity that bears the transience of slight inclusions, which serve not as blemishes but as the signature of authenticity and the storytelling fabric of its natural heritage.
