What defines a ceylon sapphire?

A ceylon sapphire is a corundum gemstone mined in Sri Lanka, historically known as Ceylon. These stones often display a vivid, bright saturation that distinguishes them from sapphires found in other global deposits. Within this selection, they appear in various cuts and colours, ranging from deep blue and yellow to pink and padparadscha tones.

How do I care for my ring?

Caring for vintage jewellery requires gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoiding harsh chemical dips or ultrasonic cleaners. Regular checks by a professional jeweller ensure that claws and settings remain secure. Removing rings during heavy manual tasks protects both the softer gold metals and the gemstone facets from accidental impact.

Are these stones heated?

Many historical sapphires remain completely unheated, meaning they display their natural earth-mined colour and clarity without thermal intervention. Certification details on individual pieces confirm whether a stone has undergone traditional heating processes. Unheated examples are particularly sought after by collectors who prize entirely natural gemstone characteristics.

How do I identify the period?

Dating relies on stylistic markers such as the geometric lines of Art Deco pieces or the delicate wirework of Edwardian examples. Metal choices also help, with platinum and white gold dominating the 1930s and 1940s, alongside yellow gold in Victorian settings. Construction techniques, hallmark stamps, and setting styles provide further physical evidence of a piece's exact decade of origin.
