If you are on a budget, this unheated Ceylon sapphire is a great choice. It was mined in Nivitigala, cut & polished by our friend and master gem cutter Nalin. With a perfect cut and excellent clarity, the violet component brings the price down. Our many years of collecting unheated sapphires from Sri Lanka give us a net advantage in terms of cost and quality.
