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

In the heart of the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, begins the extraordinary journey of a singular gemstone. Beneath the verdant fields and the whisper of ancient trees, nature quietly orchestrated one of its most beautiful creations: a pinkish purple sapphire that would soon gain a cherished place in the world of gems. This sapphire, a radiant spectacle of color and clarity, embarked on its existence deep within the mineral-rich soils of Sri Lanka, anchored by the rich heritage of the land renowned for producing some of the most exquisite and sought-after sapphires in the world.

Emerging from its natural womb, this 1.16 carat sapphire was immediately notable for its weight, which not only positions it within the realm of premium quality gemstones but also stands as a measure of its worth and significance. Carefully, it was handled by skilled gemologists who discerned its potential to be crafted into a breathtaking work of art. With a round shape that embodies timeless elegance, it spans a size of 5.91 x 5.81 x 4.32 mm. The mixed brilliant cut employed in its crafting enhances its natural luster, allowing light to dance with remarkable intensity across its surface. Each facet polished to impeccable standards highlights the sapphire's deep, intense color, drawing the eyes into its magnificent depth.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we honor the significance of every gem's journey right from its birth to its final form. This sapphire's juxtaposition of an almost ethereal pinkish hue and a regal purple undertone reflects both its natural origins and the meticulous craftsmanship that defines its final iteration. Its clarity, graded as very slightly included at eye level, speaks not only to its transparency but also to the unique characteristics that set it apart, an authentic fingerprint of nature encoded within. The sapphire’s intense color intensity and excellent polish are testament to both the quality of the raw stone and the artistry bestowed upon it through careful crafting. As you embrace this exquisite sapphire, you take a step back into the legacy of its creation, a legacy intertwined with the lush histories of Ceylon, and allow its story to become part of your own, a connection both tangible and eternal.
