1.25 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Africa

This 1.25 carat pear shape pinkish purple sapphire measures 7.99 x 5.76 x 3.79 mm, offering a balanced profile suitable for a range of jewelry designs. The stone is transparent, with an eye clean clarity grade when evaluated at normal viewing distances, and an intense color saturation that gives the pinkish purple tone strong visual presence. Cut on a mixed brilliant pattern, the facet architecture combines a brilliant cut crown with a step influenced pavilion to optimize light return while preserving weight, and an excellent polish results in sharp facet junctions and lively scintillation. No enhancement has been applied, the sapphire is natural and untreated, and its origin is Africa, which is recorded as part of our assessment and provenance documentation.

The African origin contributes materially to the sapphire s appeal and value. African sapphire deposits are associated with varied geological environments that impart distinctive trace element profiles and color possibilities, and stones from these regions are often sought by gemologists and collectors for their natural, intense hues. Provenance from Africa can also facilitate traceability and responsible sourcing when coupled with transparent supply chain practices, and untreated stones from these sources are comparatively scarce in the market, which supports a premium for well provenanced material. For practical use, the pear shape and the measured proportions allow the stone to sit effectively in both solitaire and halo settings, and the eye clean clarity means the color is the defining feature without distracting visible inclusions at normal wear distances. The Natural Sapphire Company records treatment status, exact dimensions, and origin for each gemstone to assist jewelers and clients in assessment and valuation, and this sapphire exemplifies a combination of gemological quality, aesthetic appeal, and clear provenance that informs long term desirability and market confidence.
