1.20 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The journey of this exquisite gemstone, a 1.20-carat pear-shaped white sapphire, began millions of years ago under the Earth's surface in the rich geological landscape of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. Renowned for its bountiful mines that produce some of the world's most sought-after sapphires, Sri Lanka has a storied tradition in gemstone extraction dating back to ancient times. This particular white sapphire boasts a transparent allure, distinguished by its dimensions of 6.48 x 5.21 x 4.32 mm. Formed through a complex process involving extreme temperatures and pressures, the gemstone emerged as a pristine creation of nature's artistry, crafted through gradual crystallization processes intertwined with intricate geological events.

The pear shape of this sapphire enhances its aesthetic appeal, allowing the viewer to appreciate both its subtle elegance and its unique optical properties. The mixed brilliant cut employed in this gemstone optimizes its ability to reflect light, resulting in a captivating sparkle that captivates the observer. Although the clarity grade is labeled as "slightly included", this minor inclusion, nearly invisible to the naked eye, adds a touch of individuality to the gemstone, serving as a testament to its natural origins and journey through the Earth's dynamic crust. Furthermore, the near colorless color intensity ensures a versatile gem that complements a wide array of settings and styles, resonating with connoisseurs who value understated elegance and pure beauty.
