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

In the world of gemstones, where rarity and beauty converge, the transparent 1.22 carat oval-shaped pinkish purple sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company shines with an unmatched allure. This magnificent gem, sourced from the legendary mines of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, holds a special place in the vast spectrum of precious stones. With dimensions of 7.72 x 5.35 x 3.51 mm, this sapphire is not just a stone; it is a testament to nature's artistry, offering both a size and hue that are rarely found together in the same piece.

The pinkish purple hue of this sapphire presents a captivating play of colors that distinguishes it from the more commonly seen blue sapphires. Many sapphires on the market struggle to achieve the medium intense color intensity that this particular gem boasts. While other sapphires may exhibit muted or uneven color, this stone’s rich and vibrant hue is consistent throughout, marking it as a unique entry in the world of colored gemstones. Its color intensity elevates its appeal, creating a spellbinding visual fascination that rivals even the most exquisite gems.

When it comes to value, the advantage of holding a truly rare gemstone with both exceptional size and distinct coloration is clear. Most commercial-grade sapphires fall short in either size or color, yet this pinkish purple exemplar does not compromise. Its 1.22 carat weight offers a substantial presence without overwhelming subtleness, making it a perfect choice for elegant jewelry pieces. The gem's dimensions are meticulously balanced, ensuring its size enhances designs while maintaining a comfortable wearability that other sapphires of similar weight cannot offer.

From a quality perspective, this sapphire radiates brilliance thanks to its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish. In an industry where cut quality often separates the exceptional from the ordinary, this stone dazzles with a level of craftsmanship that brings out its inner glow. The brilliance of the cut enhances not only its visual appeal but also its perceived value, inviting comparisons with top-tier gemstones. Many may offer sapphires that do not maximize their potential due to inferior cutting techniques, yet this gem avoids such pitfalls.

Finally, the very slightly included clarity grade awarded to this remarkable sapphire further substantiates its high quality. When evaluated at eye level, it displays only minor inclusions, which do not detract from its beauty. While many sapphires exhibit visible inclusions that distract from their overall appearance, our selection presents a purity that appeals to discerning clients. The expertise required to identify such fine details highlights the advanced skill and dedication employed by The Natural Sapphire Company, setting our offerings a cut above the competition. By choosing this stunning pinkish purple sapphire, connoisseurs partake in owning a gemstone that truly stands out in a crowded market, bringing a rare and unexpected delight to personal collections.
