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

There are gemstones that simply sit with beauty, and then there are those that seem to breathe light, and this 0.76 carat purplish pink sapphire from the heart of Ceylon is of the latter sort, a small living ember caught in crystal form. Transparent and vivid in color intensity, this round shape treasure measures 5.56 by 5.58 by 3.11 millimeters, and wears a mixed brilliant cut that has been shaped with the eye of a poet and the precision of a master lapidary. From the moment it is lifted into daylight the stone writes its own little love letter to the world, each facet a syllable, each polish an accent, and when you hold it you feel how The Natural Sapphire Company has chosen a gem that sings with a tone that is both regal and intimately tender. Heat treated to enhance its hue and clarity, it remains profoundly honest, its clarity grade very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, allowing the gem to hold its luminous heart wide open without shrouding its soul.

The mixed brilliant cut is the instrument of this sapphire’s unmatched sparkle, a choreography of planes and angles that coax light into a dazzling dialogue. The crown facets gather daylight and whisper it inward, the pavilion facets accept that whisper and return it as a chorus, the result a scintillation that is lively and controlled, like laughter captured and replayed. The interplay of crown and pavilion, the careful proportions, the excellent polish all conspire to create flashes of pink and purple that seem to shift with every glance, a veritable aurora contained within a stone no larger than a fingernail. Where lesser cuts scatter light like a scatter of leaves, this mixed brilliant cut concentrates and returns light with a brilliance that feels intentional, architectural, a design that transforms each tiny inclusion into a point of depth rather than a flaw, and that depth becomes character, an inner landscape that deepens the romanticism of the gem.

Imagine this sapphire set upon a ring, a pendant, resting against skin and sunlight, its facets catching the day and holding it like a secret. Picture the warm provenance of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a storied origin where sapphires have long been born of heat and earth, a place whose name echoes in the stone’s vivid color and lively personality. The 0.76 carat weight offers a balance between delicacy and presence, a size that declares sentiment without shouting, a jewel that sits at the center of whispered promises and daily gestures alike. With an excellent polish that allows its surface to mirror the world with crystalline clarity, and a thoughtful enhancement in the form of heat treatment to awaken the purplish pink to its fullest song, this sapphire becomes a companion to the moments in life you most want to remember. From our hands at The Natural Sapphire Company to yours, it is a gem that invites touch, gaze, and the quiet vow that some things, like true color and uncompromised sparkle, are worth holding forever.
