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

This 0.63 carat cushion shaped purplish pink sapphire from Ceylon is an exceptional engagement choice, combining vivid color, excellent craftsmanship, and practical size. Measuring 5.13 x 5.10 x 2.89 mm, the gem’s mixed brilliant cut maximizes scintillation and fire, while its excellent polish lets each facet reflect light with crisp brilliance. The stone is transparent with intense color intensity and is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning it appears eye-clean to most viewers and offers the visual purity many buyers seek. Heat treatment is an industry standard enhancement used to stabilize and intensify the hue, and this stone’s Sri Lankan origin brings the added prestige of Ceylon sapphires, known for their lively and saturated colors.

Compared to common engagement alternatives, this purplish pink sapphire delivers distinct advantages. Against diamonds of comparable size, it offers richer color and more personality per carat for a lower premium, making it an excellent value for couples who want a standout center stone without the price of high-quality colorless diamonds. Versus other colored gems, the sapphire ranks high for durability, second only to diamond on the Mohs scale, so it withstands daily wear more reliably than softer stones like morganite or opal. Compared to mass-produced or synthetic options, a natural Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company provides rarity and origin provenance that collectors and sentimental buyers value, while the documented heat treatment is transparent and aligns with trade norms.

For an engagement ring, the cushion silhouette and mixed brilliant faceting suit a variety of settings. A classic solitaire emphasizes the gem’s hue and brilliance, a halo setting magnifies perceived size and sparkle, and a three-stone design pairs it beautifully with tapered baguettes or small diamonds for contrast. At 0.63 carat the stone strikes a balance between everyday practicality and visible presence on the hand, ideal for brides seeking an intimate yet vibrant statement. From craftsmanship to origin, this purplish pink Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a uniquely romantic and durable choice for an engagement ring, offering both aesthetic distinction and long-term wearability.
