0.89 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the lush, verdant landscapes of Sri Lanka, known by its historic name, Ceylon, comes a gemstone of exquisite beauty and refinement, a transparent oval-shaped pink sapphire weighing 0.89 carats. The journey of this pink sapphire, from mine to market, is one that traverses both time and craftsmanship, reflective of the rich heritage found within its origins. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we pride ourselves on tracing the entire journey of our gemstones to assure the highest quality and authenticity to our discerning customers.

Nestled within the expansive terrain of Ceylon lies the gem-rich area where this sapphire began its remarkable journey. Formed deep within the earth over millions of years, the sapphire was eventually discovered by skilled local miners. Their expertise and affinity with this geological wonderland ensure that only the finest stones are unearthed. Such is the importance of provenance that this gem embodies the historical significance of the region, known for producing some of the finest sapphires in the world. The vibrant and medium-intensity of its pink hue is characteristic of its Ceylon roots, offering a visual testament to its esteemed lineage.

Once unearthed, the sapphire goes through a meticulous selection process, where its potential brilliance begins to come to light. This 0.89 carat pink sapphire exhibits a mixed brilliant cut, expertly crafted to maximize the stone's inherent beauty and fire. This cut allows for a harmonious play of light, enhancing its medium intense color that is rarely found, making this gem a precious find. Its excellent polish adds to the stone’s lustrous appeal, further exemplifying the mastery required to finish such a jewel and highlighting its distinct radiance when viewed from multiple angles. A slightly included clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, means that while comfortable to the unaided eye, this gem shows minor inclusions which do not detract from its overall aesthetics, but rather, narrate a part of its natural formation story.

Weighing in at a perfectly balanced 0.89 carats, this pink sapphire is an embodiment of both delicate beauty and enduring charm. Its dimensions, at 6.49 x 5.94 x 3.11 mm, offer a size that elegantly suits a variety of settings, whether as the cornerstone of a bespoke engagement ring or a central element in a sophisticated pendant. Owning such a gemstone is not merely about possession, but an appreciation of its journey, connecting the wearer to the deep-rooted traditions of gemstone craftsmanship in Ceylon. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are committed to offering more than just gemstones; we offer pieces of history, underscored by integrity and precision, crafted for the educated and discerning buyer who values authenticity and rarity, perhaps as much as, if not more than, the visual perfection these gems naturally possess.
