1.02 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Presenting a singular and exquisite transparent violet sapphire, a 1.02 carat cushion shaped gem that embodies both rarity and refinement. Meticulously cut to 5.66 by 5.43 by 4.06 millimetres with a mixed brilliant cut, this stone delivers a modern scintillation while honoring the classical symmetry of a cushion profile. Evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, its clarity allows for open depth and a luminous table void of visual distraction, while an excellent polish magnifies every facet, producing lively flashes of light. The colour is a soft, light intensity violet, a hue that sits between the serene blue sapphires of the sea and the poetic lilac tones once favoured by royal courts in Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, from where this sapphire hails. Of natural origin and free from enhancement, this gem carries the honest provenance that collectors and connoisseurs covet, a pure expression of nature shaped by masterful lapidary skill, presented to you by The Natural Sapphire Company.

Beyond its measurable attributes, this cushion violet sapphire is steeped in heritage, echoing centuries of traditional use where sapphires served as talismans of wisdom, protection and noble status. Ceylonese sapphires have long been set into crowns and devotional jewellery, treasured for their delicate palette and exceptional clarity, a lineage that this stone continues with quiet authority. Imagine it set as a solitaire on a slender platinum band, catching daylight and candlelight with refined brilliance, or framed by a halo of subtle round brilliant diamonds to accentuate its lilac veil. Owning this gem is an affirmation of discerning taste, a private signal of achievement and cultivated style. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to consider this 1.02 carat cushion violet sapphire as an intimate heirloom, a conversation piece, and a timeless statement, ready to be entrusted to your bespoke design, with our guidance in sourcing, setting and ensuring its legacy.
