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

If you are searching for a center stone that balances romantic symbolism with natural character, this heart shape purplish pink sapphire answers that need beautifully. This transparent 1.11 carat gem measures 6.28 x 6.74 x 3.36 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish give it a lively, face up presence that flatters a wide range of settings. Graded as eye clean at normal viewing distance, with medium light color intensity and no enhancement, this sapphire carries the honest appeal of an untouched natural gem. Originating from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, it brings together an adored hue and a shape that speaks of devotion, making it ideal for an engagement ring or a meaningful collector piece.

What makes this sapphire unmistakable when compared with others is the subtle internal signature that it wears only for those who take a closer look. To the naked eye the stone remains beautifully clean, yet under ten times magnification the interior reveals a pattern of delicate features that confirm its natural story. Fine silky needles and whisper thin veils weave through the pavilion, providing a soft velvety shimmer that warms the purplish pink tone. Minute pinpoint minerals sit like tiny stars within the crystal lattice, and faint curved growth zoning and color banding trace the crystal habits that form in Ceylon deposits. These internal elements are not flaws in the everyday sense, they are the fingerprint of a natural formation, the microscopic texture that gives the gem depth, character and a subtle, living glow.

Those internal features interact with the mixed brilliant cut to produce dynamic light return and lively scintillation. The crown facets break the purplish pink into flashes of lighter pink and cooler lilac depending on the angle and ambient light, while the pavilion facets work with the silk and inclusions to add a soft diffusion that enhances the heart shape. The result is a gem that reads as clean and lively on the hand, while rewarding a closer inspection with a rich portrait of natural growth. Because the stone is untreated, you are choosing a stable sapphire that will retain its color and individuality over time, a quality that matters for daily wear in an engagement ring and for curators who prize provenance and natural formation.
