The distinctive shade is frequently associated with the legendary blue of Kashmir sapphires, which are famed for their unmatched beauty and rarity. Kashmir cornflower blue sapphire, from the renowned mines of the Indian region, are now almost entirely depleted and incredibly rare, with fine-quality stones typically found only in heirloom pieces. As a result, Kashmir blue sapphires are now extraordinarily rare and exceedingly expensive, often fetching record prices at auctions.

Cornflower blue, which display a striking resemblance to the iconic Kashmir blue, offer a rare and more accessible alternative for collectors and jewellery enthusiasts alike. The cornflower blue sapphires from Sri Lanka and Madagascar boast similar characteristics to those of the Kashmir variety, from their radiant blue tones to the delicate hint of violet, making them equally prized in the world of fine jewellery. This resemblance is one of the key reasons why cornflower blue sapphires from these regions have become increasingly popular, as they offer this “Kashmir-like” appearance at a more attainable price point.
