0.36 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.36 carat oval purplish pink sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka presents a precise combination of dimensions 5.03 x 3.91 x 2.28 mm, transparent body, and a mixed brilliant cut designed to maximize both scintillation and color face up. The mixed brilliant cut employs a brilliant style crown with expertly placed pavilion facets to balance light return and dispersion while preserving table size, this approach yields a lively faceting pattern visible through the oval outline. Color is described as purplish pink with very light color intensity, and clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, reflecting minimal internal characteristics that do not disrupt the clean faceting or overall transparency. The gem is natural and untreated, no enhancement, and exhibits an excellent polish that sharpens facet junctions and enhances optic contrast, these technical attributes make it especially suitable for fine, low profile settings where table and crown geometry are given priority to reveal the stone character.

From a rarity perspective this piece is notable, small yet unusually pure in hue for its weight and origin, purplish pink sapphires of this size and untreated clarity from Sri Lanka remain uncommon compared to the broader population of pink sapphires that are either heat treated or richer in tone, the combination of 0.36 carat weight, oval proportions, and a very light purplish pink tone produces a gem that offers a discrete, elegant color presence while being more collectible than typical pastel stones. For designers and connoisseurs seeking contrast options we note the opal type White Opal, which pairs exceptionally well with this sapphire when creating matched sets or accent combinations, the cool milkiness of White Opal harmonizes with the sapphire faint purple notes without competing with the sapphire face up clarity. The Natural Sapphire Company recommends this sapphire for bespoke rings where precise bezel seat geometry can secure the oval profile, or for delicate claw settings that celebrate the mixed brilliant faceting, this gem performs well under loupe scrutiny and in wearable designs that emphasize refined color and craftsmanship.
