1.05 Ct. Reddish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.05 carat pear shaped Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a rare treasure for the connoisseur who seeks something truly singular, a transparent gem that carries a rich reddish pink hue with an intense saturation and a warm, slightly garnet like undertone, a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes brilliance within its 6.95 x 5.57 x 4.17 millimeter proportions, an eye level clarity graded very slightly included, an excellent polish, and importantly, no enhancement, a natural statement piece reserved for an elite few who appreciate authenticity and provenance. Its pear silhouette feels bespoke and elegant, a classic form that flatters both modern and vintage inspired mountings, the stone offering a vivacity of color that shifts subtly as light moves across the facets, revealing deeper maroon flashes and brighter rose reflections, giving the wearer a jewel that is animated and alive.

In hue and tone this Sri Lankan sapphire occupies a distinctive place among famous gemstones, it is not the pure, saturated red of a Burmese pigeon blood ruby, instead it bridges the warmth of ruby with the delicate blush of padparadscha sapphires, it recalls the peach pink silkiness of fine Ceylon padparadschas while leaning more toward a richer, moodier pink than many Madagascan pink sapphires which often present a lighter candy tone. Compared to classic Kashmir sapphires the stone shares a sense of velvety depth albeit in a different color family, where Kashmir blues are known for their rare, powdery saturation, this sapphire offers a similar rarity of tone in the red pink spectrum, and compared to Australian or Thai sourced pink sapphires which can be brownish or muted, this gem stands out with clearer intensity and a cleaner, more luminous presence. For the collector who understands nuance, this gem from Ceylon is an opportunity to own a color that is simultaneously intimate and commanding, a piece that sits at the intersection of ruby warmth and sapphire clarity, an heirloom quality gemstone that marks its owner as part of a select circle who value unenhanced rarity, and for whom The Natural Sapphire Company curates only the finest examples from storied origins.
