1.70 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.70 carat pear shape violet sapphire, measuring 8.40 x 7.05 x 4.43 mm, stands apart from many market alternatives because of its rare and balanced violet tone and exceptional cutting quality. The mixed brilliant cut combines the depth and color retention of step cutting below with lively crown faceting above, producing a clarity and fire that many single style cuts can not match. With a slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level, this sapphire offers a transparent look with natural character, while the excellent polish maximizes reflected light and visual appeal. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka and heat treated to enhance stability and color uniformity, this stone delivers provenance and performance that underpins long term wearability, and provides superior value compared with similar sized stones from less notable sources. Compared with completely eye clean but less vividly colored sapphires, this Ceylon violet presents a more interesting and collectible appearance, and compared with stones of the same hue but weaker polish, this gem gives more lively brilliance and a more precious presence. For buyers seeking a unique center stone that balances rarity, beauty, and sensible pricing, this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an outstanding choice.

This sapphire reveals different personalities under varied lighting, making it versatile and captivating in any setting. In bright daylight the medium light color intensity reads as a pure, cool violet with strong lively flashes from the mixed brilliant facets, the transparency allowing penetrating light to play through the pavilion and return a bright, crystalline sparkle. Under LED or modern white lighting the stone shows crisp scintillation and a slightly cooler tone, which highlights the precision of the facets and the excellent polish. In incandescent or candlelight the violet warms subtly toward a richer lavender, the pavilion depth offering soft dispersion and a romantic glow with gentle flashes of pinkish violet. Under low ambient light the stone retains presence because of its cut and polish, showing pinpoint scintillation rather than a flat appearance. Set in a simple solitaire or a halo to maximize light entry, this sapphire will remain lively and eye catching for daily wear, benefiting from sapphire hardness and The Natural Sapphire Company sourcing standards that prioritize both beauty and integrity.
