5.19ct Ceylon Cornflower Blue Sapphire Ring
We are delighted to announce the first ring in the T.S.M Exclusive Collection: our 5.19ct Ceylon Cornflower Blue Sapphire Ring with 142 D-Color VVS Diamonds set in 18k Yellow Gold. Designed by The Sapphire Merchant, this ring showcases the sapphire in a diamond-encrusted weaved basket with an unusual eight-pronged lotus-inspired setting.
We secured this sapphire on a 2024 gem-buying trip in Thailand. When this sapphire came across our desk, we were enamoured with its iconic cornflower blue colour and exceptional clarity. To discover a Ceylon blue sapphire in a round brilliant cut in this generous carat weight is improbable; sapphires of this calibre are rarely seen on the market.
This ring has been lovingly created in a US Ring Size 7, or New Zealand Ring Size N. Resizing included.

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.
