One of the most famous places of origin for blue sapphires is the island of Ceylon, which was only renamed Sri Lanka in 1972. The island lies south-east of the Indian subcontinent in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Ceylon is considered to be the oldest mining area for these precious gemstones, and according to contemporary reports, Ceylon's sapphires were already being set into pieces of jewellery by the Greeks and Romans in classical antiquity. Even King Solomon is said to have wooed the legendary Queen of Sheba with sapphires from the area around Ratnapura, which means "city of precious stones" in Sinhalese. This exquisite Art Deco ring features two sapphires from Ceylon as the highlights of its design. The high-quality, medium blue sapphires are characterized by their intense colour, which - in contrast to many other sapphires, which appear very dark or almost inky - actually glows a radiant blue. The stones are also very pure and transparent. Together they weigh c. 1.60 ct. The Ceylon sapphires are set in platinum and are accompanied by small diamonds and square-cut, synthetic sapphires. They set sparkling and effective accents; the materials together create an elegant color chord of blue and white. We discovered the ring in Vienna. Its powerful, geometric design and workmanship indicate that it was created in the 1920s. An independent appraisal from Vienna accompanies the ring.
