'Cornflower blue' describes the soft, slightly violet, velvety blue that made Ceylon sapphires legendary. It is brighter and more luminous than the inky blues of other origins — a quality created by the fine rutile 'silk' characteristic of Sri Lankan stones.
Cornflower blue is a connoisseur's color: prized for its glow in all lighting, and most desirable when natural and unheated. Each stone below is hand-selected for that distinctive Ceylon brightness.
