Kashmir Sapphires

Genuine • Natural • Certified

Kashmir Sapphires are a scarce and an exclusive variety of natural blue sapphires. They originate from the high-altitude and snow-capped valley region in northern India—Kashmir. Originally discovered during the reign of HH Maharaja (King) Ranbir Singh in the late 19th century, Kashmir Sapphires are coveted for their distinctive velvety-blue color, hazy glow brilliance, scarcity, legends, and persistently strong demand in global markets. Additionally, sapphires from Kashmir are host to a unique category of inclusions (internal characteristics) seldom found in other geographical regions. Due to their unique nature, limited supply, and strong demand, fine-quality sapphires from Kashmir realize the highest price-per-carat among other sapphire varieties and sources. Although different geographical origins for sapphires, such as Burma (Myanmar), Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and Madagascar, produce fine-quality gems and have a larger market share, Kashmir Sapphires are at the pinnacle as the most expensive blue sapphires in the world.
