10.06 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Grey Star Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

These luminous grey star sapphires, weighing 4.85 carats and 5.21 carats respectively, evoke the same sense of wonder that ancient cultures felt when they first looked to the heavens, their soft translucent bodies revealing a crisp six ray asterism when caught by light. Each gem is a round shape grey star sapphire, expertly cabochon cut to reveal the star, the first measuring 9.77 by 8.96 by 5.56 mm, the second 9.47 by 9.32 by 5.91 mm, with a clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, medium color intensity, and an excellent polish. These stones are completely natural, no enhancement, and originate from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region whose sapphires have been prized for millennia and woven into royal treasuries and sacred talismans. The translucent grey hue carries a quiet dignity, and the sharp, centering star speaks to the patience of the cutter and the stone, a living echo of the geological time that formed them.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate the deep history and timeless appeal of such gems, offering these matched star sapphires as an invitation to own an heirloom of true character. Their cabochon form and gentle sheen suit classical settings that honor tradition, such as closed bezel mounts that protect the dome while allowing the star to travel across the surface with every movement. In a pairing for earrings, cufflinks, or a matched set for a pendant and ring, these stones will carry a lineage forward, becoming part of a family story to be worn and treasured. Because they are untreated, no enhancement, their provenance from Ceylon, Sri Lanka and their excellent polish are assurances of authenticity and enduring beauty. If you cherish legacy and the quiet authority of a gemstone with history, these grey star sapphires offer a rare opportunity, a connection to ancient lore and to contemporary craftsmanship, ready to be designed into a piece that will be passed down for generations.
