1.15 Ct. Bluish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A luminous, transparent 1.15 carat oval sapphire measuring 6.41 x 4.90 x 4.30 mm presents itself with a rare, bluish purple tone that reads as quietly regal, its very light color intensity allowing light to travel through every facet, revealing a velvety internal glow. Expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut and finished to an excellent polish, the stone returns scintillating flashes that belie its refined subtlety, clarity graded as very slightly included at eye level, and wholly natural with no enhancement, sourced from the storied mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. This sapphire carries the provenance and assurance of The Natural Sapphire Company, a keeper of heirloom quality gems, and it rewards the owner with a quiet authority, a gemstone that speaks of considered taste, sophistication, and the discernment of one who prefers rarity over ostentation.

Envisage this oval at the heart of a custom creation, framed by a halo of fine round brilliant diamonds to amplify its brilliance and give the bluish purple face a luminous, icy contrast, or set within a trio composition with tapered baguette diamonds on either shoulder for architectural elegance and elongated hand appeal. For a warmer, more intimate expression, mount the sapphire in 18 carat rose gold, flank it with delicate pink sapphires or morganite to accentuate the purple undertones, and add a halo of rose cut diamonds for vintage glamour. For dramatic contrast, pair the stone with vibrant green tsavorite garnets or emeralds, either as small accent stones or as tapered side stones, their verdant tone throwing the sapphire into sharper, more modern relief. A pendant design in platinum with a concealed millegrain bezel, or a low profile solitaire ring with soft claws, will showcase the gem for daily wear while protecting its outline, and a cuff or brooch composition incorporating fine white diamonds and small blue sapphires will allow the bluish purple hue to harmonize across a broader palette. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we curate settings that honor the unique character of each stone, advising on metal choice, accent cuts, and proportions to ensure your custom piece becomes an unmistakable statement of refinement, a possession that marks achievement and enduring style.
