1.49 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the ancient heart of Sri Lanka, where the earth's secrets have been cradled for millennia, the journey of our exquisite 1.49-carat pear-shaped yellow sapphire began. It is an extraordinary narrative that commenced millions of years ago, a story etched in nature's own handwriting. Beneath the dense jungles and towering mountains of Ceylon, forces of unimaginable power converged to create this unique gemstone.

Over time, these streams revealed fragments of the coveted yellow sapphire, with glimmers hinting at the beauty contained within. Local miners, guided by age-old techniques and reverence for the earth, carefully uncovered this precious gift from the depths.
