Ceylon Sapphire
Browse Ceylon Sapphires Jewelry
 Ceylong sapphires are a wonderful addition to anyone's gemstone collection. Most blue sapphires come from Thailand or Australia, but the oldest sapphire
mines are situated in Ceylon, today called Sri Lanka.
The perfect Ceylon sapphire is considered to embody the pale to medium blue color of the skies, inspiring
the ancient proverb- "the sky is a blue sapphire in which the earth
is embedded." If you were to measure quality based on a sapphire's geography,
a Ceylon sapphire ranks approximately third behind Cashmere and Burmese
sapphires.
The hypnotic blue color that is characteristic of the stones from the Sri Lanka region are
one of the reasons why the stone is as popular as it is. The Ceylon sapphire is reputed to reveal
a consistent blue color even in the dimmest of lighting, often a spectacle to behold.
Contrary to popular belief, light blue Sapphires are more desirable for daily wear because their light color reflects brilliantly in daylight and evening.
