Steel Blue Sapphire (Demo)
Steel Blue Sapphire (Demo)
This exceptional Ceylon Blue Sapphire originates from Sri Lanka, an island revered for producing the world’s most elegant sapphires for over two thousand years. Precision-cut with diamond-inspired faceting, the stone displays remarkable brilliance, crisp symmetry, and a luminous steel-blue tone that rivals the visual presence of a diamond.
Unlike diamonds, sapphire offers both rarity and heritage — prized by royalty and collectors for its depth, durability, and timeless authority. The eye-clean clarity and refined proportions allow light to travel cleanly through the gemstone, creating sharp flashes and a calm, aristocratic glow.
A gemstone selected not for trend, but for legacy.
