We are thrilled to offer this dazzling 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.
The experts at GRA Gemological 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 pastel 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.

Ceylon Sapphires
Sri Lankan or 'Ceylon' sapphires, celebrated for their remarkable clarity, are a testament to the diverse beauty of the geological world. Originating from gem-rich regions like Ratnapura and Elahera, these gems come in a stunning array of colours, including blue, pink, purple, yellow, and green. The unique cornflower tones of Sri Lankan blue sapphires, compared to other sources, and the rich, intense royal blues from select mines, offer a captivating spectrum of hues to explore.
Despite centuries of mining history dating back over 2,500 years, Sri Lanka continues to yield high-quality sapphires sought for their beauty and historical significance. The historical significance of Sri Lankan sapphires is not to be underestimated, as they have been part of many cultures and civilisations, often symbolising royalty and wisdom.
Sri Lanka's sapphire mining methods encompass a blend of traditional and modern techniques. Historically, manual labour and simple tools were employed, with miners digging pits by hand to access gem-bearing gravel layers. Today, mechanised mining, including the use of machinery such as excavators and conveyor belts, has become more common in larger-scale operations, alongside pit mining and river mining techniques. Sri Lanka is a leader in ethical mining practices. The industry is heavily regulated to ensure environmental sustainability.
