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

In the quiet light of a lover of gemstones, a single stone can feel like a secret passed from the earth into your hands, and this purplish pink sapphire is such a secret. We present a transparent round sapphire of 0.72 carat, a gem that breathes with a medium intense color intensity, and that carries within its depths a hue that balances tender rose and twilight violet. Its presence is calm and magnetic, a small cosmos that draws the eye and keeps the heart still. The proportions, a delicate 4.90 x 4.92 x 3.81 mm, whisper of careful workmanship, a size that is intimate on the skin and luminous in any setting. From Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire has a lineage that sings of old mining valleys and island rains, and it arrives to you with no enhancement, true to the natural world that shaped it.

The cut of a gem is its language of light, and this sapphire speaks with the lively eloquence of a mixed brilliant cut, every facet composed to coax color and spark into constant motion. An excellent polish renders its surface like a mirror for the soul, and as you tilt it, flashes of pink and purple come alive and recede, like memories surfacing from a lake. The round shape is timeless, a perfect frame that allows the mixed brilliant cutting style to perform its ballet, channeling light through the table and releasing it in scintillating brilliances. In practical terms these proportions and finish give the gem a presence that reads as both sophisticated and tender, an ideal heart for a bespoke engagement ring, a treasured pendant, or a meaningful pair of earrings.

Inclusions are the fingerprint of a gem, and within this sapphire they are not imperfections to hide, but signatures to celebrate, small truths embedded by the slow processes of nature. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is very slightly included, a phrase that in our experience means the stone appears clean to the naked eye, while under magnification you may discover the discreet beauty of tiny internal features. These may present as fine silk threads or as minute crystalline whispers, each one a stroke in the sapphire story, each one a proof that this gem is natural and unenhanced. Rather than diminishing the gem, these inclusions add soul and character, they softens perfection into personality, they make the stone singular and unrepeatable, a companion with its own quiet history.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor the provenance and the poem of each sapphire we offer, and this Ceylon treasure is presented with that same respect. Unheated and unaltered, this purplish pink round sapphire is a modest 0.72 carat in weight, yet vast in the emotion it can inspire, it is a stone that carries island light in its heart and the craftsmanship of a mixed brilliant cut on its skin. Imagine it set to catch evening light while you walk beneath city lamps, or balanced against the pulse of a hand held during a vow, a little galaxy that reflects your private constellations. If you seek a gem that feels like a whispered promise, a jewel that honors natural origin and the artistry of cut and polish, this sapphire awaits, ready to become part of the story you are writing, offered to you with the care and knowledge that define The Natural Sapphire Company.
