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

A rare opportunity awaits those who understand the quiet power of true rarity, a spectacular purplish pink sapphire that stands as a statement of refined taste and exclusive ownership. This transparent 1.11 carat round gem, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, measures 6.10 x 6.06 x 3.75 mm and is masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut. The proportions and facet arrangement create an arresting balance of brilliance and depth, allowing the intense color to sing while maintaining an elegant, wearable scale. Each angle of the stone reflects deliberate craftsmanship, and because sapphires of this precise weight, tone, and saturation are seldom encountered, this piece belongs to a select handful of jewels that collectors and connoisseurs seek out. When you choose this sapphire, you are not merely acquiring a gemstone, you are joining an exclusive circle of owners whose taste embraces rarity and discerning beauty.

The color of this stone is its soul, an intense purplish pink that captures both warmth and coolness in a single glance. Its clarity is graded eye clean, evaluated at eye level, ensuring that the field of view presents uninterrupted color and sparkle to the unaided eye. Excellent polish elevates the surface to a mirror finish, enhancing the interaction between light and color and giving the gem a lively, engaging presence. This sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that refines color and clarity without diminishing the natural integrity of the stone. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka adds provenance that is prized by collectors, as sapphires from this storied island are known for their lively tones and classic character. The combined attributes of intense color, eye clean clarity, superb polish, and respected origin make this sapphire a distinctly collectible and desirable rarity.

Beyond its striking beauty, this purplish pink sapphire is exceptionally well suited to daily wear, a quality that elevates it from a passive object of admiration to a practical heirloom. Sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, providing outstanding resistance to scratches and abrasion that everyday life can bring. The mixed brilliant cut enhances durability by distributing impact forces across multiple facets while maintaining an attractively deep girdle that improves stability in a setting. Heat treated sapphires are stable under normal wearing conditions, and excellent polish helps prevent surface wear by reducing microabrasion over time. When set in thoughtful jewelry designs, such as secure prong mounts enhanced with protective bezel elements, or in low profile settings for rings that protect the girdle and pavilion, this gem performs beautifully for regular use. Its proportions at 6.10 x 6.06 x 3.75 mm translate to a comfortable presence on the finger or pendant without feeling oversized, making it ideal for daily rings, necklaces, or bespoke pieces designed for both elegance and resilience.

We offer bespoke setting services to create a piece that complements the gem while protecting and showcasing its best attributes, and our expertise ensures that each mounting enhances durability without compromising aesthetic impact. For those who wish to further authenticate and document their purchase, we can provide independent grading where applicable and detailed imaging to capture the stone from every angle. Because sapphires of this caliber and profile are rare, opportunities to acquire them are intentionally limited, reinforcing their exclusivity.
