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

From the moment a tiny crystal forms deep within the ancient gem gravels of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a story begins that ties earth and human hands together, and this purplish pink sapphire tells such a story. Brought to light by generations of artisanal miners, this transparent round gem weighs 1.05 carat and measures 5.62 by 5.69 by 4.36 mm, its facets shaped into a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth. The pavilion and crown were carefully shaped to capture the soft, light color intensity, and the excellent polish allows each plane to sing when it meets light. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, the stone exhibits natural character while remaining clear to the gaze, and it comes to you with no enhancement, a pure testament to the color and form bestowed by its Sri Lankan origin.

Sapphires from Ceylon have long been woven into the fabric of cultural heritage, prized by kings and commoners alike for their beauty and symbolic power. Traditionally, sapphires have been chosen for tokens of devotion, coronets, and talismans that symbolize wisdom and fidelity, and a softer purplish pink hue carries connotations of gentle romance and refined elegance. This particular sapphire connects to that lineage, offering the romantic whisper of a storied gem that would grace a bridal ring, an heirloom pendant, or a bespoke pair of earrings. The unenhanced nature of the gem echoes the old wisdom of valuing natural beauty, while the mixed brilliant cut modernizes that legacy, delivering a lively and wearable gem that honors centuries of craft.
