Description

This lovely unheated Ceylon sapphire is a beautiful light cornflower blue color–a pastel shade of one of the most desirable hues for a sapphire. Under incandescent light, the hue of this sapphire shifts to more of a violet-blue color.  Sri Lanka (formerly called Ceylon) is famous for its gemstones, especially sapphires.  The government has maintained regulation over mining to prevent large-scale environmentally destructive mining from occurring, encouraging small-scale artisanal mining.  This sapphire was acquired directly from a mine owner in Sri Lanka, and then recut here in the United States for maximum beauty and brilliance.

This sapphire is extremely clean, with just a few tiny inclusions only visible with 10x loupe.  The original gemstone sourced in Sri Lanka was completely recut here in the US into a beautiful high-precision square cushion design; the resulting gemstone is a glittering beauty!  The sapphire weighs 2.58 carats and measures 8.4 mm across the points, 7.6 mm across the flats, and 5.4 mm deep.  It would make the perfect gem for a unique engagement ring!

Video Request

Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.

Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color.  Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
