Mined from deep within the earth, then lovingly hand-faceted into a remarkable oval cut to reveal its exquisite hidden brilliance, let this 1.09ct Royal Blue Sapphire from Sri Lanka be your moment-defining treasure.
We procured this dazzling sapphire from an accomplished, retired Kiwi field gemologist who dedicated his career to volunteering at gem mining sites throughout the Asian and African continents. During his time at each mining site, he was given the opportunity to buy gem rough as it was discovered. Over many years, he built a sensational gem collection, each piece hand-selected with a deep knowledge of precious gemstones and what lends to their value and overall beauty. He kept his private collection under lock and key for many years but recently gave The Sapphire Merchant the unprecedented and exciting opportunity to acquire some of his most special pieces.
The experts at the prestigious Asian Institute of Gemological Sciences (AIGS) carefully assessed and certified this sapphire to ensure its authenticity, giving you assured confidence in your precious gemstone investment.
Whether you are creating the ultimate gift of self-love or a proclamation of devotion, such as an engagement ring, we entwine your nuanced needs with our creativity. Let this rare royal blue sapphire honour your story by allowing us the privilege of hand-crafting it into a bespoke, artisan jewellery piece, marking a moment of significance in your life for now and for generations to come.

Royal Blue Sapphires
The term 'Royal Blue' describes sapphires with a colour reminiscent of the rich violetish blue historically associated with royalty. This distinctive coloration, the result of the presence of trace elements, primarily iron and titanium, within the sapphire's crystalline structure, is highly valued. Vivid shades of royal blue, often considered more desirable, exude luxury and prestige.
Royal blue sapphires are often 'out-of-gamut,' meaning their intense hues may exceed the colour range of some devices or printing methods. This presents a significant challenge in accurately representing their shade, a task that requires a deep understanding of colour science and the artistry of gemstone reproduction. To truly appreciate the beauty of royal blue sapphires, one must see them with their own eyes, as no reproduction can do justice to their vibrant colours.
The most pretigious examples of royal blue sapphire come from Kashmir, Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Myanmar (Burma) and Madagascar.
