1.00 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent 1.00 carat oval violet sapphire, measuring 7.44 x 5.47 x 3.26 mm, carries the quiet authority of centuries of gemstone lore. Cut in a mixed brilliant cut to enhance its internal fire, with a clarity graded as very very slightly included at eye level, and an excellent polish, this gem presents a balanced medium color intensity that is both refined and evocative. Unenhanced and of Ceylon provenance from Sri Lanka, it arrives to you in its natural state, a living fragment of the island that has supplied the courts and temples of history with sapphires of exceptional character. At The Natural Sapphire Company we treasure stones like this for their authenticity, their ability to connect the wearer to a lineage of craftsmanship and reverence that spans generations.

Violet sapphires have a storied place in human tradition, prized by ancient kings and spiritual leaders for their association with wisdom, protection, and noble bearing. From royal signet rings to devotional amulets, sapphires from Ceylon were carried into ceremonies and offered as symbols of steadfastness and insight. This particular oval form recalls the classic silhouettes used in heirloom jewels, ready to be set into a signet, a pendant, or a ring that will be worn daily and passed on. The mixed brilliant cut refracts light with a lively yet controlled play, echoing the scintillation admired in antique gems while offering modern brilliance and durability. Because this sapphire is natural and untreated, it retains the geological story of its formation, an attribute that collectors and those who value tradition recognize as intrinsic to true legacy pieces.

For those seeking a gem that combines historical resonance with contemporary wearability, this Ceylon violet sapphire stands ready to become part of a lasting narrative. Its size and proportions make it ideal for a centerpiece that will age gracefully alongside its owner, while its very very slightly included clarity at eye level and excellent polish ensure a clean visual presence without sacrificing character. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can advise on settings that honor the stone's heritage, and we welcome your inquiries about bespoke designs or heirloom restorations. Allow this sapphire to begin a new chapter of tradition, carrying past reverence into the rituals and celebrations of the future.
