A Guide to Buying Ceylon Sapphires
Blue Ceylon sapphires are among the most sought-after gemstones in the world, known for their stunning colour and exceptional quality. Originating from Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, these sapphires are celebrated for their exquisite shades of blue, ranging from deep royal blue to lighter, vibrant hues.
The most critical factor in determining the value of a blue Ceylon sapphire is its colour. The most desirable sapphires exhibit a vivid, saturated blue hue with a uniform color distribution. The presence of secondary colours, such as violet or purple, can also enhance their appeal.
High-quality Ceylon sapphires possess excellent clarity, meaning they have minimal inclusions or imperfections visible to the naked eye. The clearer the stone, the more valuable it becomes.
The quality of the cut affects how well the sapphire reflects light. A well-cut sapphire enhances its brilliance and overall appearance, making it more valuable. The most common cuts for sapphires include oval, cushion, and round.
Like most gemstones, the size of a sapphire also impacts its value. Larger stones, particularly those over 2.00 carats, are rarer and thus more valuable.
The provenance of a sapphire can significantly influence its value. Ceylon sapphires are particularly prized due to their historical significance and the reputation of Sri Lanka as a source of exceptional gemstones.
Natural, untreated sapphires are highly valued in the market. Many sapphires undergo treatments to enhance their colour and clarity, but untreated stones are considered more desirable and collectible.
The popularity of blue sapphires, particularly in engagement rings and fine jewelry, has driven demand and value. Their association with elegance and luxury further enhances their appeal.
Blue Ceylon sapphires are treasured not only for their beauty but also for their rarity and the craftsmanship that goes into creating exquisite jewellery pieces featuring this stunning gemstone.
