5.04 Ct. Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The exquisite allure of our 5.04 carat oval shape orange sapphire hails from the storied lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a region renowned for its enchanting gemstones. This particular sapphire showcases a breathtaking combination of shape and sparkle with its mixed brilliant cut that reveals its fiery soul. Expertly polished to perfection, the stone boasts dimensions of 11.35 x 8.96 x 5.63 mm and gleams with an intense color intensity that only the most pristine gemstones can command. As light traverses through its transparent form, it emanates a brilliance akin to the setting sun casting its radiant glow across ancient landscapes. The clarity grade, deemed eye clean, ensures a pure viewing experience and preserves its natural beauty undisturbed by any inclusions.

The origins of this magnificent orange sapphire can be traced back to Ceylon, where the earth has bestowed upon humanity an abundance of treasures for millennia. Sri Lanka is a locale steeped in tradition known not only for its bountiful gemstone resources but also for producing gems that are unrivaled in quality and beauty. Much like the famed sapphires from the Kashmir Valley, whose velvety blues remain legendary among connoisseurs, our Ceylonese sapphire captivates with a richness unique to its terroir. This orange sapphire mirrors the vivacious aura of the fabled Padparadscha sapphires of Ceylon while offering a more intense, fiery palette reminiscent of nature's most resplendent spectacles.

Comparing its vivid hue to gemstones originating from other esteemed locations sheds light on the captivating spectrum of nature's artistry. Look to the sapphires of Madagascar, which tantalize the eye with their cornflower blues, and discover how our Ceylon orange sapphire provides a contrasting vibrance in shades of ebullient citrines. Against the legendary Burmese rubies, inherently tied to their lush carmine hues, our orange marvel stands out both in its fiery appeal and the glamorous legacy embedded within Sri Lanka's rich mineral heritage. Its allure, while distinct, shares an affinity with the rarified gems of Mogok mingling with an ageless quality that speaks through time.
