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

This 1.18 carat oval sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a fine example of natural color and craftsmanship, with dimensions of 7.10 by 4.81 by 3.81 mm that make it an elegant choice for a solitaire ring or a refined pendant. The stone is transparent, with a mixed brilliant cut that has been executed to produce lively scintillation and balanced light return, and an excellent polish that enhances its face up brilliance. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates that any inclusions are minimal and do not distract from the gem when set, this level of clarity is highly desirable for collectors and clients who value both visual purity and durability. Importantly, this sapphire has no enhancement, remaining completely natural, which significantly enhances its appeal to educated buyers who prioritize untreated gems and documented origins.

Color is the defining attribute of this piece, an intense pinkish purple hue that reads vividly in a variety of lighting environments, and will stand out in any jewelry setting, creating a focal point that is both sophisticated and unmistakable. Against white metals such as platinum or white gold the cooler purple tones will appear crisp and bright, while yellow or rose gold will warm the pink undertones and produce a softer, romantic expression, making this sapphire versatile for designers and discerning clients. From a connoisseur perspective, the combination of intense saturation, Ceylon origin, untreated status, and precise mixed brilliant faceting represents an intersection of rarity and wearability, qualities that informed buyers recognize as long term value. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is well suited to an engagement ring that commands presence without overwhelming the wearer, or to an heirloom piece where provenance and natural state are paramount. If you are looking for a gemstone that marries technical quality with striking color, this pinkish purple Ceylon sapphire delivers both immediate visual impact and enduring appeal.
