About Ceylon Sapphire

Ceylon, which is now known as Sri Lanka, is one of the best-known sources for sapphire gems, particularly Ceylon blue sapphire. Sri Lanka has produced sapphire for many years and a few of the famous sapphires include the 423 carat Logan Blue Sapphire, the 563 carat Star of India, and the 478 carat Queen Marie of Romania's Sapphire. Sri Lanka still produces beautiful sapphire gems to this day.

Sapphire, with its Mohs hardness score of 9, second only to diamond, is one of the most valuable and wearable of all gemstones. Famed for its brilliance and rich blue color, sapphire actually occurs in a wide range of colors, including pink, yellow and green. Natural sapphire gemstones may be used in various jewelry designs, from engagement rings to earrings. Our Ceylon sapphire stones are available in various shapes, cuts and colors, such as blue, fancy pink, yellow, violet and white. Sapphire is every color of corundum except for red, which is ruby. The name corundum comes from the ancient Sanskrit "kuruvindam", while the name "sapphire" comes from the Persian word "safir". Sapphire is seen as the guardian of love. When given as a gift it enhances love and tunes your spirits to one another. Also, it has been used to banish envy and jealousy as well as promote fidelity in marriage.

From this page, you can use our filters at the top or on the left-hand side to find sapphire gems by color, shape, cut and so on.
