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

In the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, beneath the verdant canopies and rolling hills, lies a vibrant tapestry of earthly treasures. It is a place where the sun gently kisses the terrain and rains lend their nurturing power to the great creation processes ensued by nature. From such illustrious lands comes the exquisite pear-shaped pinkish purple sapphire, a gem blossomed from the depths of the Earth’s core, adorned with the allure of the vivacious surroundings. This 0.82 carat jewel tells a story of heritage and natural splendor, emerged from the storied mines of Ceylon where gem mining has interwoven with cultural roots for centuries. Our relationship with the island and its creation is more than transactional; it's about embracing and honoring Ceylon's deep embedding in the artistry of gems.

The sapphire embarks on its journey in the highlands of Sri Lanka, an area abundant in naturally occurring corundum which makes its gemstones exceptionally desirable and uniquely beautiful. This particular sapphire, a vision of pinkish purple, is a rare spectacle that captures the hues of dawn and dusk, embodying a sense of tranquility and mystical grandeur. Each facet is meticulously crafted through the ages-old Ceylonese tradition of gem cutting, which emphasizes precision and respect for what nature has already shaped delicately. The gem miners feel intrinsically connected to these stones; for them, it's a legacy passed through generations, nurturing profound respect for their heritage. As they bring these gems to the surface, they do so not merely as miners, but as storytellers, passionate custodians, unveiling nature's startling artistry.

A clarity grade of very slightly included is a testimony to the beauty crafted by nature yet enhanced by human expertise. Over time, experienced cutters sculpt the sapphire subtly through a mixed brilliant cut, maximizing the stone's natural luster and elegance. The remarkable polish, an achievement of skilled hands and watchful eyes, highlights the intrinsic luminosity lying within, revealing a seamless interplay of light unique to its form. Its dimensions dance in harmony, a visual celebration of nature's complexities refined to manifest sheer sophistication. Its medium color intensity echos a lush lavender meadow under the golden glaze of a Sri Lankan sunrise, leaving each beholder enraptured by its ethereal grandeur and vibrant aura.
