11.75 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the mineral rich soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka to the serene light of a jeweler's window, this white sapphire carries a story that begins long before it met the lapidary wheel. Formed under ancient pressures and cooled by time in one of the world most storied gem producing regions, this transparent stone came to light through careful, often artisanal mining practices that honor a legacy of craftsmanship. The rough crystal was selected for its size and purity, then entrusted to cutters who understand how to reveal a gem true character without altering its natural state. The result is a GIA certified White 11.75 carat asscher octagon shape white sapphire, a gem that retains its natural origin, with no enhancement, and a presence that speaks of earth born patience and human care.

In the hands of a master cutter the rough was transformed into a precise step cut that emphasizes depth, geometry, and symmetry. The asscher octagon shape, with its broad pavilion and concentric facets, creates a hall of mirrors effect that rewards the eye with flashes of light and a subtle depth that is rarely seen in stones of this scale. This specimen measures 11.65 x 10.89 x 9.37 mm, its proportions chosen to balance brilliance with the quiet elegance of a near colorless palette. Its clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a testament to the stone natural character that remains visible only to the observant, while its excellent polish allows each facet to sing. Certified by GIA, this sapphire carries impartial documentation of its authenticity and qualities, and its origin Ceylon Sri Lanka affirms a lineage of sapphires prized through generations for their clarity and soul.
