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

This transparent cushion shape purplish pink sapphire weighs 0.55 carat and measures 5.02 x 4.11 x 3.07 mm, presenting a refined balance of size and presence. The mixed brilliant cut enhances internal light performance while retaining a classic cushion silhouette. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, supporting clean transparency and attractive sparkle without visible blemishes to the unaided eye. The stone exhibits a light color intensity that reads as a delicate purplish pink, with an excellent polish that produces crisp facet reflections and a smooth pavilion and crown. This sapphire is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and is sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a well regarded origin for pink and purplish pink sapphires. The Natural Sapphire Company verifies and presents these characteristics to inform considered selection and appraisal.

The 0.55 carat weight is a defining attribute, contributing directly to both market value and relative rarity. In the purplish pink range, clean, transparent material above one half carat is less common than smaller samples, making this gem comparatively scarce for its color and clarity combination. Weight influences perceived presence when set, and at 0.55 carat this sapphire offers a versatile scale that suits solitaire rings, delicate halo settings, or as a refined center for a custom pendant, while still being compact enough for practical everyday wear. Because the stone is unenhanced, its natural color and structural integrity add to its valuation, as untreated sapphires of this hue and clarity from Ceylon often command premium interest among collectors and designers. The mixed brilliant facets optimize light return for its size, allowing the 0.55 carat weight to register with brightness and visual impact that can exceed expectations for similar sized stones. This combination of precise dimensions, excellent polish, minimal inclusions, and natural origin frames the weight as both a functional and aesthetic advantage, reinforcing the sapphires desirability for refined jewelry applications.
