Mined from deep within the earth, then lovingly hand-faceted into a stunning oval cut to reveal its exquisite hidden brilliance, let this 1.44ct Royal Blue Sapphire from Sri Lanka be your moment-defining treasure.
We are thrilled to offer this luxurious sapphire, part of a collection acquired from an accomplished, retired Kiwi field gemologist. His career was dedicated to volunteering at gem mining sites across Asia and Africa, where he had the unique 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 remarkable pieces. This is a unique opportunity that should not be missed.
The experts at GFCO Gem Lab 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 honor 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.
