1.08 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This gem is a transparent, oval shape pink sapphire weighing 1.08 carat, with exact dimensions of 6.77 x 4.98 x 3.71 mm. It has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that combines brilliant crown faceting with proportioned pavilion facets to maximize scintillation and return of light. The polish has been graded as excellent, which complements the precision of the cutting and allows clean facet junctions and crisp light return. The sapphire originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing stones with lively tone and refined color character, and the stone has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement used to optimize color and clarity. Clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that the stone is visually clean under normal observation while retaining natural internal characteristics that affirm its origin and authenticity.

The stone presents a medium intense color intensity that reads as a rich, bold pink, a hue that conveys a strong visual presence without becoming overpowering. The saturation and tone are well balanced, producing depth that holds up when viewed face up while still allowing the pavilion facets to return lively flashes of brightness. This particular pink, described here as a symbol of personal power and distinction, projects an assured and refined character, suited to designs that emphasize individuality and understated authority. In daylight the color has measured consistency, and under indoor lighting the mixed brilliant faceting enhances its warmth and depth. The overall color balance makes this sapphire adaptable to a range of metal choices and design styles, from classic solitaire settings that let the color speak for itself, to more architectural mounts that frame and emphasize the stone as a focal emblem of identity.

Practical considerations for setting and wearing this sapphire reflect its size and attributes, the 1.08 carat weight and the 6.77 x 4.98 mm oval dimensions make it a versatile center stone for rings, pendants, or bespoke pieces that require a distinct yet wearable presence. The very slightly included clarity grade means that routine jewelry cleaning and careful setting will preserve its appearance and protect natural inclusions, and the excellent polish supports strong surface luster with normal wear. The heat treatment applied to this stone is stable under typical conditions of wear, however care should be taken with extreme heat and with harsh chemical environments to avoid any risk to the mounting.
