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

Born in the ancient gem gravels of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this 1.12 carat oval sapphire carries the quiet story of the island in its facets, a story The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to share. For centuries Sri Lanka has been celebrated for producing sapphires with a unique palette and luminous vitality, and this pinkish purple example is a modern heir to that legacy. It began as a pocket of corundum weathered free from its host, picked by seasoned hands, and set apart by its uncommon hue, a delicate balance of pink and violet that speaks to the specific trace elements and geological history of its origin. The provenance from Ceylon adds value beyond beauty, connecting the wearer to a place renowned for exceptional sapphires, and assuring collectors and connoisseurs that this gem is part of a lineage prized across generations.

Cut and polished with intention, the stone was shaped into an elegant oval with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes its sparkle while preserving its color, and it measures 6.73 by 5.29 by 3.61 millimeters. At eye level it reads as eye clean, a clarity grade that allows light to dance through the pavilion without distraction, and the excellent polish produces crisp reflections that enhance its intense color intensity. The sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement used to refine color and clarity, a fact we disclose openly to protect the stone s integrity and the buyer s confidence. From the mine to the cutter s bench, to final inspection by our gem specialists, every step was guided by a respect for the material and a commitment to craft. Worn as a refined center for an engagement ring, set as a luminous pendant, or kept as a collectible specimen, this Ceylon sapphire narrates its origin each time it catches the light. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate not just gemstones, but stories, and this pinkish purple 1.12 carat oval is a jewel that carries the island s past into a new chapter on the finger or in the collection of someone who values provenance, beauty, and enduring craftsmanship.
