  1. Sapphires from Sri Lanka Blue Sapphires' Gold Standard

  2. Ceylon sapphires from Sri Lanka represent what many consider the pinnacle of all blue sapphires. The magical blue hues, unmatched clarity and prestige of Ceylon stones have made them the gold standard that all others are measured against.

  3. Unparalleled Color Saturation Ceylon sapphires exude a vibrant medium-dark blue unlike any other, with moderate to strong saturation. While not too dark, their blues have a rich inviting warmth. Many describe Ceylon blues as the perfect ideal blue. No other source quite compares.

  4. Clarity That Mesmerizes Thanks to their natural formation, Ceylon sapphires have remarkably few inclusions. They possess exceptional transparency, rated eye clean or with very minor inclusions visible under close inspection. Their clarity allows Ceylon blues to mesmerize.

  5. Are Dark Sapphires Inferior? While Ceylon sapphires may be the gold standard, dark blue sapphires from Australia, Thailand and elsewhere have their own advantages. Dark sapphires exhibit inky midnight tones and are more affordable. Learn their unique merits.

  6. Cutting Style Maximizes Beauty Ceylon sapphires are expertly cut - oval, cushion and round cuts optimize the dazzling blues. Dark sapphires favor step cuts which help mask inclusions. But both utilize cutting know-how to showcase their best attributes.

  7. Rarity Drives Value Supply factors into Ceylon sapphires' prestige. Limited deposits make them relatively rare compared to Australia's and Thailand's more plentiful dark sapphire mines. Rarity cements Ceylon blues as the crème de la crème.
