In the verdant landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, where nature's magnificence meets human ingenuity, an extraordinary bi-color sapphire embarks on its journey. Slumbering deep within the earth, this gemstone begins as a mere whisper in the hills of Ratnapura, renowned for their gem-rich soils. This vibrant region nourishes the birth of sapphires that are as diverse in their beauty as the island itself. The sun-drenched terrain coupled with monsoonal rainfalls contribute to the unique coloration that graces each stone with its own story. In this arcadian setting, the allure of our 0.79-carat emerald cut bi-color sapphire begins.

The craftsmen draw from centuries of knowledge as they delicately coax the sapphire from its cocoon of rock.

Each stroke of the cutting wheel is guided by a respect for the stone’s natural character, bringing to light its medium color intensity and rendering an excellent polish that reflects light with unmatched brilliance.

Upon close inspection, slight inclusions whisper the passage of time and history held within the stone.
