1.17 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.17 carat transparent pink sapphire originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, and it has been catalogued and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company. The gem measures 6.24 x 6.30 x 3.74 mm, in a precise trillion shape, faceted to a classic trillion cut that balances dispersion and color retention. The stone displays an intense color intensity, a clarity grade of included as evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish across its pavilion and crown facets. The piece is unenhanced, with no heat treatment or other modifications, making its color and clarity natural attributes of the crystal as formed in its original geological environment. The cutting proportions and symmetry were selected to maximize light return while preserving weight and natural color, resulting in a compact, lively stone suitable for both bespoke settings and careful collection.

The journey of this sapphire began in a well known mining region of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where rough crystals are recovered from alluvial deposits by experienced teams familiar with the local geology. After extraction, the rough was reviewed for color zoning and inclusions, and the portion offering the best combination of hue and clarity was chosen for precision cutting. Skilled cutters fashioned the piece into a trillion faceted profile, executing facet junctions and angles that achieve the observed scintillation and polish grade. Following cutting and polishing, the stone underwent our standard gemological assessment, where measurements, carat weight, clarity grading, and confirmation of no enhancement were recorded. The Natural Sapphire Company then handled photographic documentation and sizing guidance to assist in selection for mounting, and the stone was prepared for market with provenance information and condition notes. The result is a compact, well finished pink sapphire, featuring vivid natural color, transparent crystalline structure, and a measured profile that supports considered design choices, presented with the technical documentation and care customary to our company standards.
