CEYLON MIST
Ceylon blue is in a category of its own. This stone proves it.
Ceylon Mist is built around a 0.74 carat cornflower blue sapphire from Sri Lanka, round cut with a medium tone and rich saturation that earns its colour classification without question. Flanking it are two SI1 brilliant diamonds totalling 0.21 carats, their cold white light creating a clean and deliberate contrast against the warm depth of the blue. All three stones are set in 14 karat white gold on a band that keeps the focus exactly where it should be.
No heat. No treatment. What you see is exactly what was found in the earth beneath Sri Lanka.
Ceylon Mist comes with a LOTUS Gemology certificate and is presented in an original Orloff of Denmark ring box.
ONE OF A KIND.

About Sapphire
Sapphire is one of the oldest symbols of nobility and truth in the world. Kings wore it. Clergy prized it. And for good reason.
Most people think of sapphire as blue. The reality is far more interesting. Sapphire occurs in almost every colour, pink, yellow, orange, green, violet and white. The blue variety simply captured the world's attention first and never let go.
What separates a fine sapphire from an ordinary one is a combination of colour saturation, clarity and origin. The most coveted specimens come from Kashmir, Burma and Ceylon. Kashmir sapphires, mined in a remote Himalayan valley and largely exhausted by the early 20th century, are considered the benchmark by which all others are measured. Their velvety, cornflower blue is unlike anything found elsewhere.
Like most corundum, sapphires are routinely heated to improve colour and clarity. A no-heat sapphire of fine quality is genuinely exceptional and commands a significant premium among serious collectors.
Sapphire does not need to be explained to those who already love it. For everyone else, it is simply one of the most beautiful things the earth has ever produced.
