1.19 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

For centuries, sapphires have been revered as some of the most cherished gemstones in history. The opulence they possess is a testament to their long-standing association with royalty and grandeur. Among these illustrious stones, the pink sapphire stands out as a particularly enchanting marvel. The esteemed 1.19 carat round pink sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is no exception. Hailing from the storied lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this gem carries with it both the legacy of its origin and the promise of timeless elegance.

In ancient and medieval history, sapphires were believed to protect their wearers from envy and harm, often adorning the crests of kings and queens. This pink sapphire resonates with that same regal tradition. While sapphires of blue hues are often associated with iconic stones in history like the Star of India, the distinctiveness of this pink sapphire is paralleled only by equally famed stones of unique coloration and brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut of this gem captures light in a dance as old as time, a symphony of reflections that amplifies its soft pink hue, suggesting the dawn's first light peeping over horizon. Its clarity, rated as very slightly included at eye level, ensures that its purity is appreciated upon the closest inspection. The excellent polish achieved on this stone serves as a final brushstroke on a masterpiece.

The pink sapphire's intense color rarity makes it more than just an aesthetic choice; it is an artifact of enduring value and distinction. Much like the famed Kashmir sapphires renowned for their deep velvety blue, the reddish-pink allure of this sapphire makes it a piece of history visible to the eye. Collectors and enthusiasts acknowledge such pieces not merely as fine jewels but as investments worthy of legacy. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are proud to offer gemstones that are extraordinary not only in their beauty but in their ability to connect us to the rich tapestry of human history and tradition. Our dedication to sourcing sapphires directly from reputable origins ensures that each stone such as this holds genuine historical integrity, inviting you to become part of an enduring narrative written through millennia, while securing a future as valuable as its past.
