GEMSTONE SPOTLIGHT – Magnificent unheated sapphire of nearly 50 carats, new to market, offered in Geneva

An exceptional newly mined and responsibly sourced, unheated cushion-cut Sri Lankan sapphire weighing nearly 50 carats is now being offered in Geneva.

The sapphire, extracted from a rough stone weighing 140 carats from the renowned Elahera region in central Sri Lanka, celebrated for its Kashmir-type stones, is available via digital trading platform Gembridge’s Geneva Ambassador Elke Berr of Berr & Partners, Geneva.

“This is a magnificent sapphire with no indications of heating, whose journey has been fully tracked from the mine,” Elke Berr said, speaking on the sidelines of the GemGenève show (November 4-7, 2021) taking place just before the Christie’s and Sotheby’s magnificent jewels auctions (November 9-10, 2021), a series of events which are attracting top gemstone buyers from around the world to the Swiss city.

“The stone has excellent brilliance and cut, and a very lively open colour.”

Helen Molesworth, Gembridge’s Geneva-based Head of Business Development, said: “This remarkable sapphire comes from a region known for yielding stones of exceptional colour. Few stones are coming out of this area these days.

“The sapphire is responsibly sourced, with a complete chain of custody from mine to market. It is a remarkably clean crystal for its impressive size. A tiny amount of reflective silk brightens the stone further and hints at its origin and untreated quality.”
