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

In the hidden, verdant hills of Ceylon, where lush landscapes reverberate with the mystery of ancient times, a gemstone of exquisite beauty began its remarkable journey. As sunlight dappled through the dense green canopies, a miner's practiced eye caught a glimmer that lay beneath centuries of earth and stone. Nestled within the heart of this rugged terrain, our gemstone—a 1.16 carat emerald cut pinkish purple sapphire—emerged, revealing a depth of color reminiscent of twilight skies over tropical seas. With dimensions of 7.50 x 4.87 x 2.81 mm, this stone was destined to become an emblem of elegance, evoking an element of desirability that only a true connoisseur could appreciate.

The path from mine to masterpiece is one of transformation. Once unearthed, the rough, unyielding form of the sapphire passes into the hands of skilled artisans whose craftsmanship is legendary. With each precise cut and polished facet, these artisans tease out facets of beauty, refining the gem into an object of adoration. This meticulous process involves countless hours spent achieving perfection, while preserving the stone’s medium intense color intensity and ensuring its very slightly included clarity grade, which is practically flawless to the naked eye. Lighting up with an inner luminescence, the stone’s pinkish purple light plays out from its emerald cut, a mastery of design that amplifies its inherent allure.
