This beautiful cushion shape 3.58 carat Blue Sapphire is from the mines of Sri Lanka.
It was selected by our gemologist for its exceptional clarity, table, and superb colour. Suitable as an investment stone, or for inclusion in a pendant or ring. When surrounded by a side setting of baguette diamonds or halo, the fire in this natural stone will be breathtaking.
Sapphires Engagement Rings became popular in the 15th century by wealthy and royal families. They were favoured over other precious stones because they symbolised nobility, truth, sincerity, and faithfulness and hence became the perfect aspirational symbol for those to be betrothed.
Given the origins of this Ceylon Sapphire, we can be assured that it has been ethically mined and shaped by master craftsman. Stringent laws that ensure equitable profit-sharing arrangements between miners and mine owners, foreign ownership laws that prevent foreign mining intervention and a program for restoration of the mine excavations, protects the former ancient riverbeds that are now primarily grasslands.

Sri Lankan miners are unable to attain bank loans based on their mining profits, and therefore it is our priority to support their work by engaging with Sri Lankan gemologists who are so close to the source. Through them we are able to present our clients with the beautiful gems that adorn our jewellery. We are grateful for our Sri Lanka partners and hope that what we do at sovereign Stones goes some way to directly supporting their local communities and rewarding both their hard work and expertise.

Testimonials

I just wanted to say Thank you! The Journey Ring is stunning. I have never had an 'unboxing' experience that continued to surprise as each new layer was revealed. I am already planning to treat myself to another insert .... maybe yellow sapphire for Christmas. Thank you Sian for your care and creativity.

It takes a lot of trust to engage the services of a jeweller via email and phone to design an engagement ring. From initial concept incl budget discussions, stone sourcing, design process and through to the final product, my fiance was kept informed and reassured every step of the way until the outstanding ring arrived in its exquisite packaging. Thank You so much. Highly Recommended.

I recently started searching for a Ring for my wife of 25 years as a anniversary present . Phil and the team at Sovereign stones went above and beyond from the very onset to assist me in the design, and provide great advise on what quality of stone and gold to add to the piece to make it precious , but also affordable to me . I made contact with pill and his team around 5 weeks prior to my anniversary date, The team at Sovereign stones assisted me on multiply occasions to get the best design outcome and a affordable price

Trust was a big thing for me but as soon as I heard back from Sian the Founder, I knew I'd made a great decision. I wanted a special and unique ring to propose to my girlfriend and Sovereign Stones helped me through the process with expert and timely assistance. Their approach was brilliant. Highly recommend.
Matt Lawton
I can't put into words how much I love my engagement ring. It's beyond what I envisaged & imagined - I love its sparkle and warmth. My fiance worked with the team at Sovereign Stones to create an engagement ring which I knew nothing about, they took so much care and made a process that has the potential to be a nightmare, a fun one.
