0.44 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a gem that blends rare beauty with wearable elegance, this 0.44 carat pinkish purple sapphire is the answer. It is transparent, round in shape, and has a mixed brilliant cut that maximises fire and scintillation. The stone measures 4.54 by 4.51 by 2.96 millimetres, making it an ideal size for a refined solitaire, a delicate halo engagement ring, or a striking pair of stud earrings. With a clarity grade described as very slightly included at eye level, the stone offers a clean appearance to the naked eye while retaining the natural character that serious collectors and connoisseurs value. The polish is excellent, so every facet returns light with crisp, lively reflections, and the gem has no enhancement, ensuring you receive an untouched, natural sapphire the moment you place it into your chosen setting.

We understand that provenance matters almost as much as the gem itself, and this sapphire comes from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source long revered for producing some of the world most desirable sapphires. Ceylonese sapphires are celebrated for a luminous clarity and an appealing lightness of tone that allows internal light to breathe, enhancing the stone s colour without overpowering it. The pinkish purple hue of this stone shows a medium intense colour intensity that sits beautifully between pastel grace and vibrant presence, a signature often associated with Ceylon origin. Because many collectors and designers prize stones from Ceylon for their combination of hue, transparency, and natural character, an untreated Ceylon sapphire carries both aesthetic and intrinsic value that can grow in prestige over time.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we listen to your needs and guide you to the ideal solution. If you are searching for a symbolic engagement gem that feels unique yet classic, this stone will satisfy that desire for individuality while remaining timeless. If your goal is to add a rare and beautiful piece to a collection, the lack of enhancement and the Ceylon origin increase the stone s appeal as a natural specimen. For those who want versatility, the mixed brilliant cut and the medium intense colour mean the sapphire will complement both white and warm precious metals, shining with clear, lively sparkle in a white gold or platinum setting, and glowing with additional warmth in a rose or yellow gold mounting. We can collaborate with you on custom designs that highlight the gem s size and colour, or suggest ready settings that bring out its best angles and colour saturation.

Practical considerations are important when choosing a lasting gemstone, and this sapphire performs well in everyday jewellery. Sapphires are second only to diamonds in hardness among commonly used gem materials, and this stone s compact dimensions and excellent polish make it durable and resistant to everyday wear. Because this is an untreated stone, no heat or chemical enhancements have altered its structure, which collectors and buyers often prefer for long term value and authenticity. We recommend professional cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush to maintain its brilliance, and regular inspections when set to ensure the mounting remains secure. For those planning a daily wear engagement ring, a protective setting such as a bezel or a slightly raised crown can offer additional peace of mind without hiding the stone s captivating colour.

Choosing this pinkish purple round sapphire from Ceylon at The Natural Sapphire Company means choosing a gem that satisfies both the emotional and practical dimensions of a meaningful purchase. The gem s medium intense pinkish purple hue, very slightly included clarity, mixed brilliant cut, excellent polish, and natural, untreated origin together create a balanced package that is both beautiful and intrinsically valuable.
