Understanding Ceylon Sapphire: Colour, Crystal, and Geographic Origin

Sri Lankan sapphire is prized for a range of blue hues from pastel to saturated royal tones. When assessing a stone, experienced buyers weigh colour distribution, crystal transparency, and cut quality before considering geographic origin.

Laboratory reports may comment on origin when sufficient analytical data exists, but visual assessment under controlled lighting remains essential. At Ceylon Gems London we document enhancement status separately from origin claims.
