The Night Horizon
Originated from the Greek word “sappheiros”, the sapphire is looked upon as one of the four most precious gemstones present in this world.
As the sapphire symbolizes royalty, nobility and sincerity, it had a significant role in the history and religions of many countries. It performs the role of a guardian gem in Ancient Greece and Rome, believed to have possessed a mysterious link between heaven and Earth. The sapphire is valued by Buddhists as a gem which gives Spiritual Light, bringing peace and happiness to its owner. Meanwhile in the Jewish religion, it was described as a seal-stone in the ring of King Solomon. According to Exodus XXIV.10, the sapphire was referred to as: “There was under his feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his dearness.” From the beliefs of the Ancient Greek to the many religions, a conclusion can be drawn stating that the sapphire is highly respected gemstone, representing morality and faith.
The Night Horizon is a beautifully rare sapphire, with an extraordinary weight, of over 55 carats, and unexposed to any heat treatment. Found in the depths of a Myanmar mine, The Night Horizon originated from Mogok, an old mine which is known as the home of the most divine and important gemstones of the world. As the demand continues to increase, the supply rapidly fell, causing the number of gems to diminish greatly in number. Lately, large, vivid and clean gemstones have been ever harder to find in the Mogok mine, making The Night Horizon a very important and special sapphire of Mogok. Together with the archer cut, The Night Horizon’s beauty is further emphasized. It has been widely known that this type of cutting reveals the tiniest flaws of a gem, and therefore is scarcely used. However, due to the finest material, the effects on The Night Horizon are the complete opposite; its charms are most disclosed.
The Night Horizon gives off a proud, incredible royal blue colour, a colour significantly known as the most delicate. The royal blue colour is easily shown through the transparency of The Night Horizon, alluring the sights of many to its magnificence. The royal blue of the sapphire leaves an impression of the night, somehow familiar, but somehow managing to hide dozens of secrets every day. This unique sapphire exposes to the observer a whole new feeling. Its breathtaking qualities make it seems unreachable, but impelling those who sets sight the urge to reach for it, just like the horizon of an elegant sky.
This exquisite gemstone triggers a question in every viewer’s mind, asking if they will ever encounter a stone this great again later in their life. A stone, with extremely valued characteristics and a charm no one is able to resist, is an extremely incomparable gift from nature. Adhering an exceptional aura is a sapphire who owns an irresistible charm, a true gift; The Night Horizon.
