1.04 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.04 carat oval violet sapphire presents as a transparent gem with dimensions of 6.21 x 5.35 x 3.75 mm, a proportional depth of approximately 64.8 percent, and a mixed brilliant cut engineered to maximize both color and light return. The crown displays a classic brilliant facet arrangement that produces lively scintillation, while the pavilion has been modified to preserve weight and to intensify the stone body color, resulting in consistent windowing control and an even face up saturation. The table is balanced for an oval of this size, allowing the intense color intensity to read strongly in both diffused and direct light, and the excellent polish enhances facet contrast and surface brightness. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, with natural silk and pinpoint features that are minimal to the unaided eye and that in fact serve to modulate light and add character rather than detract from the gem presence. No enhancement has been applied, so the violet tone is wholly natural, and the provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes to the classic Sri Lankan tone profile that collectors seek.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize traceable sourcing and ethical practices throughout our supply chain, and this sapphire exemplifies a responsibly procured gem that can be confidently integrated into a conscious consumer collection. The stone is fully natural with no heat or diffusion treatments, and it has been selected from supply chains that adhere to artisanal mining standards and fair labor practices, including verified chain of custody documentation from mine to market. For the discerning buyer who values environmental stewardship and social responsibility, this sapphire pairs especially well with recycled or responsibly sourced metal mounts, and its moderate size and oval outline make it versatile for both solitaire and halo settings that emphasize color rather than carat weight alone. Its slightly included clarity and intense natural hue offer an authentic, individualistic aesthetic, and the lack of enhancement ensures long term stability and authenticity. This gem is suitable for collectors and designers who demand technical excellence, transparent provenance, and an ethical narrative, and it represents a thoughtful addition to a curated, conscious jewelry wardrobe.
