Deep within the mysterious depths of the earth, where centuries layer upon centuries and time is a silent witness, lies a rare treasure—a bluish grey star sapphire from the enchanting land of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. This gemstone, kissed by the tropical sun and cradled by the fertile earth, begins its journey in the lush, verdant landscapes where nature’s artistry shapes its unique palette. It is here, amidst the warm embrace of Sri Lankan soil, that this captivating sapphire takes form—its hues reminiscent of a twilight sky gently kissed by the evening stars, echoing the delicate interplay of light and shadow.
The story of the star sapphire is one steeped in history and wonder. Its shade of bluish grey offers a mystical allure that distinguishes it from other gemstones found around the world. Unlike the vibrant blues of Kashmir sapphires, which mimic the azure heavens above the Himalayas, or the deep royal blues of Burmese sapphires famous for their ocean-like depths, our Ceylon star sapphire dazzles with its own subtle brilliance. It reflects the tranquil beauty of its birthplace with an elegance that captivates the beholder. This is no mere sapphire, but a gem with a soul, telling tales of an ancient land through its unique star—a phenomenon that dances across its surface in an ephemeral embrace with light.

Our artisans, well-versed in the art of gemstone cutting, skillfully fashion the star sapphire into an alluring 7.92-carat oval shape, perfecting the double cabochon cut that enhances its natural phenomenon.

In the heart of this extraordinary gem lies its story—one of transformation and timeless elegance, a testament to the skilled craftsmanship that brings it to life. Clarity is achieved with an understated charm, with inclusions that tell their own story, bearing witness to the natural processes that took place over millennia.
