1.09 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gems that merely adorn, and then there are those rare treasures that transform ownership into an unmistakable declaration of taste and achievement, this 1.09 carat transparent pink sapphire from Ceylon is unmistakably the latter. Carefully faceted into a round shape with a mixed brilliant cut, it presents a beguiling interplay of light and color, a delicate but clearly present medium light pink hue that reads as both feminine and modern. The stone measures 5.91 by 5.91 by 3.87 millimeters, a dimension that offers an ideal balance between presence and elegance, and its very very slightly included clarity, as evaluated at eye level, ensures the purity of appearance that discerning collectors and bespoke jewelers seek. Polished to an excellent finish, and free from any enhancement, this Ceylon sapphire carries the reassuring provenance and natural beauty that are hallmarks of The Natural Sapphire Company, a name synonymous with responsibly sourced, uncompromised gemstones.

For custom jewelry this sapphire is supremely practical while remaining endlessly romantic. Its classic round silhouette is the most adaptable of shapes, ready to be the luminous heart of a solitaire engagement ring, to anchor a refined halo for additional brilliance, or to provide the perfect counterpoint in a three stone composition. At 1.09 carats and with its 5.91 by 5.91 by 3.87 millimeter dimensions, the gem offers an excellent table spread that maximizes visual impact without appearing bulky, making it effortless to set in both prong and bezel styles, or to pair with delicate pavé shoulders for a contemporary yet timeless effect. The mixed brilliant cut is especially advantageous for custom pieces, as it couples the scintillation of brilliant facets with a well considered pavilion structure that returns light beautifully, ensuring the stone reads lively from every angle in ring, pendant, or earring configurations.

Beyond its physical measurements and technical virtues, this sapphire embodies the long lasting practicality that bespoke owners value. Sapphire is a gemstone of extraordinary toughness, second only to diamond on the Mohs scale, a quality that invites daily wear without sacrificing the gem's brilliant polish and color integrity. For designers and clients commissioning a one of a kind piece, the stone consentingly takes direction, responding equally well to the warmth of yellow gold, the soft romance of rose gold, and the crisp modernity of platinum. Its medium light color intensity allows for flexible metal pairings and accent stones, whether the intent is to amplify the pink with warm diamond accents, to introduce contrast with blue or green sapphires, or to craft an understated heirloom piece where the pink remains the star.

Acquiring a gem like this from The Natural Sapphire Company is more than a transaction, it is a step into a tradition of exceptional sourcing and exacting standards. The fact that this sapphire is natural, unenhanced, and of Ceylon origin speaks to a legacy of color and quality that collectors prize, and it arrives ready for the thoughtful hand of a jeweler to elevate it into an object of personal significance. If you envision a ring that marks a milestone, a pendant that captures a remembered moment, or bespoke pair of earrings that become everyday treasures, this 1.09 carat round pink sapphire provides the perfect starting point. Our team at The Natural Sapphire Company welcomes consultation to explore settings, metal choices, and design refinements, ensuring that the finished piece not only complements your style, but stands as an enduring emblem of refined taste and accomplishment.
