When you are searching for a gemstone that will bring a moment of joy and a lifetime of admiration, you need a stone that answers both the emotional and the practical needs of a wearer, a gem that reads as uniquely personal and yet versatile enough to live in a variety of designs. This 1.07 carat oval pinkish purple sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is precisely the kind of treasure that ends that search. Its gentle balance of pink and purple notes offers romantic warmth with an uncommon depth, making it an ideal choice whether you are planning an engagement ring that stands apart from the ordinary, commissioning a one of a kind pendant, or adding a rare, collectible specimen to a connoisseur’s collection. At The Natural Sapphire Company we know that choosing the right sapphire is an intimate decision, and this stone brings together the visual drama you want with the practical attributes that ensure it will endure as a beloved heirloom.

Take in the tangible details that make this sapphire exceptional, starting with its weight and proportions. At 1.07 carats and measuring 6.89 by 5.19 by 3.48 millimeters, the oval silhouette offers a flattering face up size that sits beautifully on the finger, on a chain, or set into a bespoke piece. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize scintillation and life, combining the elegance of the oval outline with facets arranged to catch and return light with lively flashes. The stone shows a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the gem’s presence to the casual observer, while still confirming a natural origin to the trained eye. The medium light color intensity gives this sapphire a soft yet vivid personality, where the pinkish purple hue reads as both feminine and modern, and the excellent polish ensures each facet edge is crisp, amplifying brightness and visual appeal. Importantly, this sapphire has no enhancement, a quality that collectors and those seeking absolute natural authenticity will particularly value.

What truly sets this sapphire apart is the way its vibrant pinkish purple color will assert itself in virtually any jewelry setting. In a fine solitaire ring, the oval shape allows the color to present a broad, even tableau of pink and purple that catches the eye from every angle. In a halo or three stone composition, the sapphire’s medium light intensity allows surrounding diamonds or accent sapphires to complement rather than overpower it, creating a harmonious composition where the central color remains the star. Against warm metals such as yellow gold or rose gold, the pink leaning facets become more luminous, offering a romantic vintage feel. Against white metal like platinum or white gold, the cooler undertones are enhanced, producing a refined, contemporary look where the gem’s clarity and brilliance take center stage. The mixed brilliant cut ensures that the stone will not lay flat or appear washed out under different lighting, instead offering a lively performance under candlelight, sunlight, and indoor illumination. For someone who wants a piece that makes a statement without shouting, this sapphire is the perfect balance of presence and subtlety.

Provenance and natural condition matter when you want a gem that tells a story and retains its value. This sapphire hails from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing sapphires with lively color and an appealing silkiness rarely matched elsewhere. The origin lends cultural and historical depth, appealing to those who appreciate not just beauty but heritage. The fact that this stone is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, gives you assurance that the color and clarity are the results of the earth and the lapidary’s art alone, a quality that collectors and sentimental buyers prize. The very slightly included clarity grade and the excellent polish combine to create a gem that looks clean and vibrant when worn, while the mixed brilliant cut offers both depth and sparkle. At The Natural Sapphire Company we are committed to pairing exceptional stones with thoughtful guidance, and this sapphire is an excellent example of the kind of natural, wearable luxury that completes a search rather than prolongs it.

If you are imagining this sapphire in a finished piece, we can help you explore settings and designs that will maximize its individual strengths while reflecting your personal style. A classic solitaire with a slim band will allow the oval face to command attention, while a delicate halo will increase visual impact and perceived size for an engagement ring with undeniable presence. For a pendant, a simple bezel or four prong setting will showcase the gem’s color in motion against the wearer’s skin. We can provide high resolution images, videos, and personalized consultation to help you picture the final piece, and our team will gladly advise on metal choice, setting style, and finishing touches that will make the sapphire sing. With its ideal size, vivid pinkish purple color, natural Ceylon origin, and untouched condition, this 1.07 carat oval sapphire is more than a stone, it is the completion of a search.
