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

This cushion shaped bluish purple sapphire weighs 1.21 carats, and measures 5.65 by 5.62 by 4.47 millimeters, a gem that carries the quiet dignity of ancient Ceylon, and the refined artistry of modern cutting. Faceted to a mixed brilliant cut, this transparent stone shows a medium color intensity that breathes with a cool and regal presence, a hue that recalls the twilight over the Indian Ocean and the storied mines of Sri Lanka. The clarity is graded very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a characteristic that affirms the gem as natural and authentic without distracting from its inner fire. With an excellent polish and no enhancement, this sapphire embodies both purity and precision, a stone presented by The Natural Sapphire Company with full respect for its provenance and with an eye toward tradition. The mixed brilliant arrangement of facets creates scintillation and depth, allowing flashes of livelier blue to mingle with softer violet tones, a color play that rewards close study and quiet admiration.

Over the years this Ceylon sapphire will continue to captivate through its inherent hardness, enduring polish, and classic proportions, qualities that have made sapphires the preferred choice for generations seeking an emblem of steadfast love and lasting legacy. Set in a simple solitaire, a vintage inspired halo, or a bespoke heirloom design, its cushion outline will age with grace, reflecting room light and warm skin tones in a manner that becomes more familiar and cherished over time. As a natural, untreated gem, it offers an honesty that appeals to collectors and romantics alike, and its durability ensures that the facets and color will remain true for decades. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that promise by providing detailed documentation, personalized guidance for choosing settings that protect and enhance the stone, and a commitment to helping this sapphire become a treasured piece that passes from one generation to the next. For those who value lineage and the quiet power of a jewel that speaks of history, craftsmanship, and permanence, this Ceylon cushion sapphire is a singular choice that will continue to enchant, and to confer meaning, for many years to come.
