      Sri Lankan Sapphires — Ethically Sourced from the Heart of Ceylon

      Sapphires from Sri Lanka—known historically as Ceylon—are the heartbeat of classic gemstone lore. But don’t mistake “classic” for predictable. Our Sri Lankan sapphires dance between ethereal and electric: cornflower blues, opalescent blush tones, moody violets, color-change grays, and soft seafoam greens.

      Each stone is responsibly sourced from small-scale miners and trusted partners who share our commitment to transparency and ethical practices. Many are unheated, allowing the natural glow of the gem to shine without intervention—just earth, time, and a little patience.

      What Sets Ceylon Sapphires Apart

      • Refined brilliance in a spectrum from pastel to vivid
      • Often unheated to preserve natural color and clarity
      • Cut in antique and precision geometric styles
      • Ethically sourced from Sri Lanka’s renowned gem regions

      What sets these sapphires apart is their elegance. Their brilliance is refined, their shapes often unexpected—from antique-style cuts to precision geometrics. These are stones that feel at home in both heirloom settings and modern, custom creations.
