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

This listing describes one transparent Other certified purplish pink sapphire weighing 0.65 carat, presented in an oval shape with exact dimensions of 5.26 by 4.69 by 3.06 millimeters. The stone is cut in a mixed brilliant configuration, combining a faceted crown that enhances sparkle with a pavilion designed for efficient light return. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that the stone is exceptionally clean to the unaided eye while retaining natural internal characteristics under magnification. Color is described as purplish pink with vivid intensity, and the finish is an excellent polish that produces crisp facet reflections. Enhancement is by controlled heat treatment, a standard and stable process used to refine hue and clarity, and origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with lively color and good clarity. The gem has been examined and certified as Other certified, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the accuracy of these specifications.

Optically the mixed brilliant cut delivers a lively combination of brilliance and scintillation, with the table and crown facets oriented to maximize the face up color while the pavilion facets contribute to depth and internal reflection. Because the sapphire is transparent and has vivid color intensity, the face up appearance is saturated and evenly distributed, with the oval shape providing an elegant presentation that appears slightly larger than its weight might imply. The very very slightly included clarity grade means that light passes through the material with minimal obstruction, producing a clean window for color that enhances both the perceived saturation and the precision of reflected light. The excellent polish contributes to crisp facet junctions and sharp light return, which is particularly evident when the stone is examined at close range or when set in a fine mounting that allows light to enter from multiple angles.

Under differing lighting conditions the appearance of this purplish pink sapphire will vary in predictable and attractive ways. In natural daylight and overcast daylight the stone displays its truest purplish pink hue with vivid saturation, the even light producing balanced color across the table and well defined internal reflections. In bright direct sunlight the stone will show stronger contrast between the bright flashes of white brilliance and the saturated purplish pink body color, with increased scintillation as facets catch the stronger directional light. Warm incandescent lighting tends to emphasize the pink and red components of the color, creating a richer, warmer appearance with deeper pink and faintly purplish undertones. Cool white LED lighting will maintain vivid color while enhancing crisp white sparkle, often producing strong, gemlike brilliance that is ideal for display and photographic presentation. In candlelight and other low light settings the overall intensity will soften, yet the stone will continue to exhibit a warm pink glow and discreet flashes of light from the key facets, creating an intimate, refined presence. Because many sapphires show pleochroic tendencies to some degree, this purplish pink example may display subtle shifts in tone and depth when viewed from different angles, which contributes to a dynamic, alive quality in daily wear.

For jewelry design and practical use this sapphire’s proportions and qualities make it well suited to a variety of settings, including solitaire rings, three stone designs, fine studs or pendants, and halo mountings that use surrounding diamonds to emphasize face up size and color. The mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish ensure consistent performance in both open prong settings that maximize light exposure and closed or partial bezel styles that offer added protection while still showing strong color. Heat treatment is a stable enhancement and does not require special considerations for normal wear, though routine care such as avoiding harsh chemicals and extreme impact will help preserve the stone and its setting. Clean this sapphire gently with a soft brush, warm soapy water and a mild detergent, and rinse thoroughly before drying with a soft cloth. For assurance on fitting and finishing services, and for guidance on selecting complementary metals and mountings, The Natural Sapphire Company can provide detailed recommendations based on the stone’s measurements and face up appearance, ensuring the final piece meets both aesthetic and technical expectations. This purplish pink Ceylon sapphire offers a balanced combination of vivid color, excellent polish, and refined optical behavior, suitable for a discerning client seeking a gemstone with both visual impact and dependable performance.
