CEYLON SAPPHIRES

Exceptional Brilliance: Ceylon sapphires are known for their high clarity and lighter saturation, which allows more light to pass through the stone, creating exceptional brilliance and "life."

The Cornflower Blue: The most prized Ceylon sapphires display a medium-light, slightly violet-blue color known as "cornflower blue" — a softer, more romantic hue than the deeper royal blues of Burmese or Kashmir stones.

Availability: Unlike Kashmir sapphires (virtually depleted) or top Burmese stones (increasingly rare), Ceylon continues to produce fine sapphires, making them more accessible for collectors building a portfolio.

Unheated Specimens: Ceylon produces a relatively higher percentage of gem-quality unheated sapphires compared to other origins, making it easier to find untreated stones.
