There is the big allure of the blue sapphire that has rippled throughout time and mankind for many centuries. Of these stones, some may argue that the Ceylon blue sapphire which originates from the beautiful region of Sri Lanka, which was formerly known as Ceylon, is the best. Standard Jewellers, which has an impressive collection of blue sapphires, takes you through the journey of this amazing gem.
A Legacy of Majesty¶
Over two millennia, the nations of Sri Lanka have progressed and become known through the mining of sapphires as well as the surrounding regions. For centuries Ceylon blue sapphires have been embedded into the crowns and jewelry pieces of the lovely beauties that lead and rule. Their beautiful shine and striking colors have created numerous tales and a longing in everyone to own it.
The Essence of Blue¶
It is the Ceylon blue sapphires that have the world wide recognition for having the best hue qualities. They may possess a blue that is comparable to the sky, a bewitched cornflower, or something in between; the third dimension also known as ‘silk’ is a part of the stone that helps in creating an illusion inside the stone. The true blue has no opposition from necessary secondary colors such as green or yellow so cannot be mistaken allowing for a better overall gem to be created.
Beyond Beauty: Durability and Brilliance¶
Ceylon blue sapphires are not only pleasing to the eyes but have excellent hardness. With a 9 ranking in the scale of mineral hardness, only diamonds supersede sapphires in toughness. This trait makes it suitable for daily use with the assurance that the precious item will shine for centuries.
