8.03 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the ancient kingdom of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, the story of the white sapphire begins. Revered through the ages for its mystical clarity and unmatched beauty, the gemstone hailed from the depths of the earth where nature’s mysterious hand took millions of years to perfect it. Through war and peace, prosperity and hardship, people sought this stone not just for its exquisite appearance but for the legacy and continuity it represented. Each sapphire bore with it tales whispered through generations, embodying an eternal elegance that transcends time. Our 8.03-carat white sapphire, certified by C.Dunaigre, is a testament to this rich tradition. With precise dimensions of 14.87 x 9.74 x 6.91 mm and the embrace of a pear shape, it catches the eye of the discerning, evoking a sense of wonder and admiration.

This particular white sapphire is adored for its near colorless intensity, making it seem like a piece of the moon fallen to earth. Its mixed brilliant cut provides a dance of light and shadow within the stone, offering clarity graded as very slightly included. It almost seems as if the stone breathes with a life of its own, sparkling in any setting, yet standing alone flawlessly due to its excellent polish. The pear shape, known to symbolize tears of joy or raindrops, speaks to the romance and artistry of nature, forming a centerpiece of unmatched grace and sophistication. From ancient palaces to modern galleries, this gemstone holds an eternal place among the stars, capturing hearts with both its brilliance and its backstory. When one wears this white sapphire, one carries both the ancient stories of Ceylon and a tangible representation of nature’s infinity.
