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

From the oldest riverbeds of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where corundum crystals spent millions of years forming under heat and pressure, this purplish pink sapphire emerged as a distinct treasure. The rough was uncovered by experienced miners who have worked these storied deposits for generations, then passed to master cutters who saw in its crystal the potential for a precise trillion cut. At The Natural Sapphire Company we follow that journey closely, confirming its origin in Ceylon, verifying that it is a no enhancement stone, and ensuring that its intense color intensity and excellent polish are preserved through each stage of cutting. The result is a transparent 1.11 carat trillion shape purplish pink sapphire, with dimensions 6.55 x 6.42 x 3.64 mm, clarity grade slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a gem that still carries the fingerprint of the earth in its depth of hue and internal character.

This sapphire is especially compelling for custom jewelry, because its clean trillion silhouette and perfect proportions make it wonderfully versatile for unique designs. At 1.11 carat and those dimensions it sits comfortably as a striking solitaire ring center stone, a refined three prong pendant focal point, or an artful pair of drop earrings flanked by delicate side stones. The triangular form creates dynamic light play, with facets that emphasize the intense purplish pink tones and the excellent polish delivering lively brilliance from every angle. Slight natural inclusions add individuality without compromising transparency, and because the stone is untreated there is an authentic Ceylon origin story to embed in any bespoke commission. Whether you envision a modern minimal setting that highlights the crisp trillion edges, a vintage inspired halo that amplifies its presence, or a custom mount that cradles the gem in sculptural metalwork, this sapphire’s size and shape lend themselves to confident, creative design choices, and The Natural Sapphire Company will partner with you to translate its natural journey into a finished piece that honors both the gem and the story behind it.
