1.11 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Discover an exceptionally rare, transparent 1.11 carat cushion shape pinkish purple sapphire from the storied gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a gem that immediately reads as both intimate and imperial. Measuring 6.14 x 4.98 x 3.98 mm and cut in a refined mixed brilliant style, this sapphire has been polished to an excellent finish so each facet returns light with lively sparkle and depth. Its intense color intensity sits between a romantic rose and a regal violet, a hue that shifts subtly in varied light and rewards close inspection with its layered complexity. The clarity grade, very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, confirms that the stone appears clean to the eye while retaining natural character, and importantly, this sapphire is completely natural with no enhancement, offering the purity and integrity that discerning collectors prize. This combination of size, vivid color, honest clarity, and unheated origin makes the piece a scarce find, reserved for those who understand that true rarity is never reproduced on demand.

Envision this cushion sapphire as the heart of a bespoke jewel that will be worn and revered across generations, a piece conceived to be both beautiful and enduring. Sapphires are celebrated for their hardness and lasting brilliance, and an unenhanced Ceylon gem like this one will maintain its original charm as it passes through a family, becoming a tangible memory of weddings, births, and anniversaries. At The Natural Sapphire Company we recommend a protective yet elegant mounting, such as a fine bezel or classic four claw setting, and we offer professional documentation that certifies its origin and treatment status to accompany the jewel as it is entrusted to future heirs.
