1.54 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Hidden within a single crystal, a story of time and rarity unfolds, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we invite you to own a chapter. This is a transparent violet sapphire of 1.54 carats, shaped into an elegant cushion that measures 7.06 by 5.07 by 4.19 millimeters, cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize both scintillation and depth. Its clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, offering a window of pristine clarity that reveals character without distraction. The color reads as a medium intensity violet, a tone that is distinctly Ceylon and endlessly wearable, finished with an excellent polish that sends light back to the eye in crisply framed flashes. This gem is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance that speaks to centuries of revered gemstone tradition and geological distinction.

Imagine the forces that crafted this violet wonder millions of years ago. Deep beneath the ancient crust of what we now call Sri Lanka, silica rich and aluminum heavy rocks were transformed by heat and pressure into the crystalline corundum we prize as sapphire. Over geological epochs, minute quantities of trace elements moved into the growing crystal lattice, where iron and titanium conspired to breathe life into the violet hue that makes this stone so rare. The gem then endured tectonic shifts and erosional wanderings, eventually arriving in gem bearing gravels and pockets where skilled miners first recognized the promise of its color and clarity. Each facet of this cushion shaped stone therefore carries with it a timeline that spans millennia, a slow hand of creation that cannot be reproduced in a workshop or laboratory.

When the rough came to the cutter, an artisan with a practiced eye and a steady hand conceived the mixed brilliant cut to honor both the stone, and the collector who would call it theirs. The cut balances pavilion depth and crown geometry to allow the medium violet to glow without becoming heavy, to let the very slight inclusions remain as unique fingerprints rather than distractions. The dimensions of 7.06 by 5.07 by 4.19 millimeters sit perfectly for an intimate yet noticeable presence on the finger, or as the heart of a custom pendant. Our grading of very slightly included at eye level means that the gem appears clean and lively to the observer, while still being vividly natural. The excellent polish enhances the sensation of smooth, lively surfaces that catch the light, and the fact that the sapphire has no enhancement testifies to its inherent quality as a natural treasure.

Owning this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is to join an exclusive few who appreciate provenance, patience, and provenance that matters. This single 1.54 carat cushion violet sapphire is exceptional in its combination of natural origin, medium color intensity, mixed brilliant cut, and untouched authenticity. For those seeking a pairing that complements its pale and luminous violet, consider a White Opal accent to introduce soft iridescence without overpowering the sapphire, or allow the stone to stand solo in a bespoke setting where the metal choice and setting design become a frame for its millennia of history. Each piece we offer is selected and curated with the collector in mind, and pieces such as this are rare and move quickly. If you desire a personal consultation or a bespoke design to set and wear this gem, The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to guide you through craftsmanship and care that will make this stone a jewel of a lifetime.
