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

A dream of twilight captured in crystal, this transparent 1.22 carat oval shape pinkish purple sapphire seems to hold the hush of a Sri Lankan dusk within its depths. Measuring 7.32 x 5.99 x 3.44 mm, the gem is cut as a mixed brilliant cut that scatters light like starlight over a quiet sea, its medium color intensity singing of lavender and rose under different skies. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, giving the stone a delicate character that speaks of authenticity and the gentle fingerprints of the earth. An excellent polish lends each facet the kind of mirror finish that catches the breath, and careful heat treatment reveals the gem at its most luminous, a transformation that honors the work of skilled hands. Born in Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the whisper of ancient mines and tropical rain, a small world of color and memory ready to be set and worn.

Imagine this oval treasure as the center of a love story, dreaming into rings, pendants, earrings, or a bespoke brooch, each setting shaping its light into a different language. Set within a slender solitaire ring to let the color float uninterrupted, surrounded by a halo of tiny white sapphires or diamonds to amplify its glow, or cradled in a bezel for modern elegance and daily wearability, the stone adapts with effortless grace. It pairs beautifully with yellow gold for vintage warmth, with rose gold for soft romance, and with platinum for a cool contemporary frame, and it responds to three stone compositions, split shanks, and floral motifs with equal poise. As part of a custom engagement piece, the gem will carry vows and fingerprints into its life, and as a pendant, it will rest near the heart like a soft vow whispered each day. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can design and craft a setting that honors the sapphire, enhancing its story while preserving its natural voice, tailoring prongs, bezels, and accents to the way you want it to catch the light and the way you want that light to reflect the story you are creating.
