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

This transparent oval sapphire weighs 1.27 carats and measures 6.53 x 5.59 x 4.26 mm, offering a finely balanced presence suited to a range of jewelry settings. The stone displays a pinkish purple hue with intense color intensity, and it has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that combines a faceting plan designed to maximise sparkle and depth with an elegant oval silhouette. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and the gem exhibits an excellent polish that enhances light return and visual appeal. This sapphire is natural in origin, sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and it has been heat treated, a stable and commonly accepted enhancement that improves tone and uniformity while preserving the crystal structure.

The sapphire combines robust material properties with considered cutting, ensuring that its natural beauty will continue to captivate over the years. As corundum, sapphire rates 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it highly resistant to scratching and well suited to daily wear when properly set. The intense color and excellent polish mean the gem retains a strong presence under varied lighting, and the mixed brilliant faceting sustains scintillation and depth that age gracefully. Routine care is straightforward, requiring only mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush to maintain brilliance, and professional inspection of the mounting will help prevent mechanical wear. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem with documentation of its origin and treatment, providing transparency for long term enjoyment and value. For designs that emphasise color, an open setting with secure bezel or prong work will allow light to enter and display the stone at its best, ensuring this Ceylon sapphire remains a compelling focal point for years to come.
