Sri Lankan Sapphire Cocktail Ring

The most notable producer of fine blue sapphires is Sri Lanka or “Ceylon” as referred to within the trade (Ceylon was the former name of the country. It has only recently changed to “Sri Lanka” since gaining independence from the British).

The quantity and quality of blue sapphires coming from Sri Lanka are only rivalled by new deposits found in Madagascar. The sapphires from Madagascar are in many cases almost indistinguishable against sapphires from Sri Lanka. The Colour tone and internal crystal characteristics of Madagascar and Ceylon sapphires are almost identical in most cases. The prices for blue sapphires from both countries are similar.

This gorgeous cocktail ring features a beautiful heat-treated 5.06ct Sri Lankan Sapphire and approximately 1ct total weight of round and baguette-cut diamonds and is currently available for sale in ring size US 6.5
