1.43 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

As you hold this gem you are following a centuries old path from the rich alluvial gravels of Ceylon to the jewelers bench, its story beginning in Sri Lanka where miners gently extract sapphires from river terraces saturated with history and local lore. This particular stone is a transparent, Other certified, violet sapphire weighing 1.43 carats, an oval shaped treasure measuring 7.00 by 5.62 by 4.17 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and depth. The intense violet color arrived naturally without treatment, no enhancement, its hue preserved and certified, while the clarity is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which to the connoisseur translates to a fingerprint of the earth that proves its authenticity. The cutter saw the potential in that rough, orienting facets to maximize the vivid body color, and bringing it to an excellent polish that lets the mixed brilliant cut sing with flashes of light.

Weight is where this sapphire truly earns its rarity, a 1.43 carat violet sapphire is uncommon and commands attention because carat weight scales value and scarcity, especially in vivid violet tones from Ceylon where larger sizes are rare on the market.
