Discover the Timeless Allure of Ceylon Sapphires

Sapphires have been treasured for centuries, and some of the most prized in the world hail from the lush island of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. These ancient mines, among the oldest known sources of sapphire, continue to produce some of the finest gems on earth. Ceylon sapphires are especially revered for their exceptional brilliance, vibrant color, and natural luminosity, often commanding a premium over stones from other origins. At MyJewelrySource.com, we are proud to import most of our sapphires directly from Sri Lanka to create our exquisite Ceylon sapphire jewelry.

Sapphire is one of the few gemstones that occur in every color of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. While red sapphires are classified as rubies, all non-blue sapphires are referred to in the trade as "fancy sapphires." We specialize in the most sought-after hues, Ceylon blue, pink, and yellow sapphires, each offering a dazzling spectrum of tones. Some Ceylon pink and yellow sapphires even rival the appearance of rare colored diamonds.

As a member of the corundum family, sapphire ranks 9 out of 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it the hardest colored gemstone and second only to diamond in durability. This outstanding scratch resistance makes sapphire an ideal choice for everyday wear, and a stunning, meaningful alternative to a traditional diamond engagement ring.
