🌍 World Record Set for Ceylon Sapphire at Christie's!
A new era has begun for Ceylon sapphires, as the legendary Blue Belle of Asia made headlines at Christie’s prestigious jewellery auction in Geneva on November 11.
This iconic Sri Lankan sapphire, weighing an extraordinary 392.5 carats, sold for a jaw-dropping $17 million USD to a private collector—setting a world record for a sapphire at auction.
Christie’s overall auction brought in over $150 million USD, with the Blue Belle of Asia—gracefully mounted on a diamond necklace—stealing the spotlight as the crown jewel of the evening.
✨ Who wouldn't dream of owning a masterpiece like that?
While the Blue Belle may now be in a private vault, you can still find exceptional Ceylon sapphires with natural beauty, brilliance, and history right here at NashGems.
