0.78 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a moment when light meets stone and time hesitates, a hush where color breathes and memory begins, and this pear shaped pinkish purple sapphire sings into that silence. Weighing 0.78 carat, with graceful proportions of 7.23 by 5.02 by 2.85 millimeters, it wears a timeless silhouette that is at once tender and regal. The mixed brilliant cut sculpts its heart into a choreography of facets, each plane coaxing fire and life from within, so that with every tilt it seems to blush anew. Its hue is described by words and yet keeps secrets beyond vocabulary, an intense color intensity that leans toward a romantic dusk, the kind of shade that conjures the first whisper of twilight and the last hold of daylight on a summer evening. From the first glance this gem invites contemplation, and when you imagine it set in a ring it appears as if a private dawn sits upon the hand, a quiet companion to vows and quiet promises. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present it as more than a stone, we present it as an heirloom of feeling, chosen and prepared so that your most luminous moments will have a jewel to answer them.

Look close and the gem reveals the patient work of hands and the honest character of natural origin, clarity graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a mark of authenticity that assures you of its natural story while remaining beautifully transparent. The surface shows an excellent polish that allows each facet to act like a tiny window, directing brilliance and scintillation outward in measured, generous pulses. The mixed brilliant cut was selected to balance brilliance with depth, a decision that requires skill and sensitivity from cutter to stone, and here it rewards with lively sparkle and a soft, velvety depth to the color. Because the stone is transparent and finely cut, it carries light with a lyrical grace, displaying flashes of brighter pink and cooler purple as it turns, as if it holds a private sky that shifts with your movement. Each facet edge bears witness to craftsmanship, each plane is a testament to the patient dialogue between cutter and crystal, and in those details you own not merely color and carat, but a lineage of skill and devotion that elevates the sapphire into something intimate and enduring.

This gem was born in Ceylon, in the storied soils of Sri Lanka, an island whose sapphires have for centuries been woven into tales of kings and lovers, exchanged as tokens of esteem and trust. The provenance brings with it a heritage of mining and craftsmanship that adds an invisible patina of history to the stone, and for those who value origin as much as beauty, it whispers of distant monsoon winds and the careful sorting of seasoned hands. Enhancement by heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and intensify the natural color, a common and widely accepted practice that refines the gem without compromising its natural essence, and the result is a stone that offers both the romance of natural discovery and the assurance of stable color for generations. Consider the rarity of a pinkish purple sapphire of this size and quality, a rarity that renders it a prudent choice for someone seeking an object that holds both emotional resonance and lasting material worth. To invest in this sapphire is to invest in a crafted moment, a small, dense parcel of beauty and skill that can be set, worn, and handed down, each wearer adding a chapter to its story.

Our craftsmen are ready to suggest settings that protect the gem and amplify its best attributes, to ensure that the pear shape flatters the finger and that the final piece becomes a true embodiment of personal sentiment.
