1.21 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the heart of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this purplish pink sapphire began as a quiet promise deep within metamorphic rock, nurtured by heat and time until it revealed its intense color. Mined with care from alluvial deposits known for producing sapphires with vivid hues, the rough was selected for its transparency and chroma, and entrusted to cutters who respect the stone as much as their craft. The finished gem is a transparent 1.21 carat sapphire, shaped into a brilliant trillion, measuring 6.67 x 6.76 x 3.77 mm, with a clarity graded as very slightly included at eye level, an intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. This sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that deepens the purplish pink tone while preserving the natural character and origin story that links the gem forever to Ceylon. At The Natural Sapphire Company we follow each step of this journey, from mine to master cut, to ensure the stone you wear carries both provenance and perfection.

The trillion cut chosen for this stone is a deliberate expression of light, geometry, and color. Its three sides create a dynamic face up that maximizes the purplish pink spread, while the carefully calibrated crown and pavilion facets channel light into a lively display of brilliance and scintillation. The slightly rounded triangular outline offers a larger apparent size than weight alone might suggest, and the shallow to medium depth of 3.77 mm balances light return with dazzling flash, so that under natural daylight the sapphire reveals cool violet flashes, and under warmer lighting it exhales pink notes. The very slightly included clarity grade keeps the gem visually clean at eye level, allowing light to move freely through the crystal lattice, while the excellent polish ensures every facet edge acts as a mirror, sharpening sparkle and contrast. Whether set as a unique engagement center, a striking cocktail ring, or a pendant that catches the sun, this 1.21 carat Ceylon sapphire will read as both vivid and refined, a story you can wear.
