Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region with a long established reputation for producing sapphires of refined color and high crystalline quality. Provenance from Ceylon contributes to the gems desirability, as collectors and jewelers often regard Ceylon sapphires for their stable color properties and well balanced combinations of hue, tone, and saturation.

The slightly included clarity offers practical advantages for setting and everyday wear, as small internal features often allow the stone to be cut to maximize yield while maintaining structural integrity.
