Origin of Sapphire

Ceylon sapphire (formerly Ceylon, now Sri Lanka) is one of the most famous sources for the extraction of high-quality sapphires. This region is renowned for producing sapphires of exceptional clarity and color, particularly pink and blue sapphires. Sri Lanka's unique geological conditions allow it to produce stones with rare and intense hues.

Ceylon sapphires are considered among the finest in the world due to their exceptional clarity and brilliance. Their rarity stems not only from their unique geological origin, but also from the fact that Ceylon sapphire deposits are limited. As a result, they have become particularly sought-after stones among collectors and lovers of luxury jewelry.
