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

Before you is a rare and refined Ceylon treasure offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, a transparent marquise shape purplish pink sapphire weighing 1.34 carats, with precise dimensions of 9.26 by 5.09 by 3.95 millimeters. Expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut and finished to an excellent polish, this gem presents a sculpted silhouette that lengthens the finger and maximizes sparkle. Its clarity is graded very very slightly included when viewed at eye level, a level of purity that allows light to travel unimpeded through the stone, producing a lively, lively play of faceting. The color reads as purplish pink with intense saturation, a tone that is vivid yet elegant, and it has been heat treated, a time honored and stable enhancement that brings forth the stone s finest color and clarity. Because gemstones of this particular hue, cut, and size are seldom discovered in Ceylon with such clean, concentrated color, owning this sapphire is to possess a fragment of a very small and discerning harvest.

When you compare this Ceylon purplish pink to stones from other famous origins, the distinctions become an education in nuance, and a reason to covet. Burmese pink sapphires and spinels often carry a deeper, more magenta leaning saturation, a plush, velvety warmth that reads as nearly red in certain lights, whereas this Ceylon piece keeps a lighter, more luminous balance between pink and violet that is both modern and romantic. Madagascar produces some intensely vivid pink sapphires with a brighter, almost neon clarity, yet they can sometimes feel more overtly candy hued, while this Sri Lankan example maintains an elegant restraint, leaning into sophistication rather than spectacle. Compare it to classic Sri Lankan blues which are famed for their cornflower tones, and you feel a consonant sensibility of brightness and transparency, yet the purplish pink here is its own language, carrying the island s signature clarity and vivacity in a different register. Even when held alongside a Padparadscha from Ceylon which flirts with salmon and sunset orange, this marquise stands apart through its cooler violet undertones and more intense pink saturation, a balance that catches the eye without overpowering a setting.

This is a gemstone for the collector who understands rarity, and for the client who seeks a piece that reads as bespoke by intention. The marquise silhouette and mixed brilliant faceting offer a versatile canvas for design, pairing beautifully with delicate halo settings for an elevated engagement ring, or as a singular, sculptural earring or pendant that announces quality with subtle confidence. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the provenance and character of this sapphire, and our gemologists can discuss the nature of the heat treatment, the clarity evaluation performed at eye level, and the ways this stone will respond to different metals and design scales. Because gems of this color, cut, and proportion are rare in the market at this quality, this is not a stone we can replace on demand, it is a limited opportunity to own something quietly exceptional. If you wish to claim exclusivity, our team will assist in bespoke mounting options and secure the piece with the care and discretion it warrants, making this exquisite Ceylon purplish pink sapphire a signature possession that signals membership in a most selective circle.
