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

There are gems that announce themselves with loud color, and then there are treasures that reveal themselves with quiet authority, and this cushion shape pinkish purple sapphire is unmistakably of the latter category. Weighing 0.89 carat and measuring 6.42 x 5.70 x 2.86 mm, this stone is an exercise in refined restraint, a perfectly balanced nexus of size and subtlety that sits with composure on the hand. Its transparent body and faint color intensity allow a soft and elegant pinkish purple hue to wash across the surface without overwhelming the senses, creating a tone that is simultaneously romantic and authoritative. Cut to a mixed brilliant pavilion and crown, each facet has been proportioned to maximize internal scintillation and maintain a luminous, faceted window into the heart of the gem. The excellent polish allows light to travel through the sapphire with crystalline ease, catching and returning it as flashes of lilac and rose that change with movement, lighting, and perspective. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the storied provenance of one of the worlds most celebrated origins for sapphires, and it arrives to you in its natural state, with no enhancement, an honest testament to the earths artistry and patient formation.

The clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, becomes a virtue in this specimen, because the inclusions are discreet and do not interrupt the play of light, they instead anchor the stone in authenticity while leaving its face clear and luminous. From every angle the mixed brilliant cut translates transparency into motion, each facet catching and slicing light, each table reflection offering a new aspect of color, depth, and brilliance. The cushion outline provides a gentler, more flattering silhouette than a strict square or round, giving the sapphire a generous visual footprint without demanding excessive carat weight. In daylight the faint pinkish purple breathes with a soft warmth, in evening light it takes on a more regal, amethystine character, and under direct spot illumination its faceted geometry bursts into tiny stars. The excellent polish is the final whisper of craftsmanship, sealing every facet junction with mirror like precision, ensuring that reflections are crisp and that the surface resists the dulling that can erode a lesser gem. To behold this sapphire is to witness how flawless execution in cut and finish elevates an already beautiful material into an object that commands attention without ostentation.

Owning this sapphire is more than acquiring a jewel, it is an expression of cultivated taste and an appreciation for rarity handled with discretion. From the quiet gardens of Ceylon to the skilled hands that cut and polish it, this stone embodies lineage and care, provenance that adds a storied dimension to its innate beauty. Because it is untreated and unenhanced, it will age and wear with integrity, increasing in sentimental and potentially financial value as it becomes part of the narrative of whoever chooses it.
