… the open sky sits upon our senses like a sapphire crown – the Air is our robe of state – the Earth is our throne, and the Sea a mighty minstrel playing before it.

Gorgeous Bulgari 180.98 Ct Burmese Sapphire and Diamond Necklace
Burma (now called Myanmar since gaining independence from the British) is another long time producing country of fine blue sapphires. Usually Burmese sapphires are described as royal blue, typically on the darker side of royal blue. Many gemologists, retailers, auctioneers, and other stone houses will talk very highly of Burmese sapphires being the very best quality sapphires; we do not necessarily agree that this is true and fair. Each sapphire should be graded by its visual appearance for sheer beauty. Burma does produce excellent stones, usually in smaller quantities but larger sizes. Burmese sapphires will almost always cost 50% – 100% more than a sapphire from Madagascar or Ceylon.

Blue Belle of Asia
Nowadays exceptional quality colorful gemstones and color diamonds are also outstanding auction lots. The Blue Belle of Asia was discovered in 1926 at Pelmadula, Ratnapura (‘The City of Gems’ – this location contains the most gem deposits and derived its name from the gem industry) in Ceylon. For long centuries, the island of Sri Lanka has been a key source for sapphires. These sapphires are known for their high clarity, special color, and fingerprint inclusions. Almost 10 years later the Blue Belle of Asia was sold to a British automotive magnate, the founder of Morris Motors Ltd., Lord Nuffield (1877-1963). After this only rumors surround the fate of the stone. The 392.52 Carat, unheated sapphire, framed with brilliant-cut diamonds is a truly stunning sight even for the untrained eye, both for its size and color.

“He took the necklace out of the box and carefully fastened it around her neck. Just like he’d imagined himself doing when he bought it. That might even be why he bought it – so he’d have this moment, under her hair. He ran his fingertips along the chain and settled the pendant on her throat.”
