1.38 Ct. Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the teeming, sunlit wilds of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, lies the beginning of a gemstone’s remarkable journey—a journey that transforms nature’s whispers into breathtaking artistry. It is in this lush landscape, cradled by ancient riverbeds and nestled in the earth’s protective embrace, that a remarkable 1.38 carat cushion-shaped pinkish-purple sapphire was born. The vibrant soil and the rhythm of the monsoon season contribute a palette of elemental beauty, giving life to sapphires whose hues are uniquely compelling. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we cherish this gemstone not just for its unparalleled beauty, but for the storied journey it has undertaken—a journey that reveals deeply rooted traditions of craft and culture.

The pinkish-purple sapphire was skillfully extracted from Ceylon's mineral-rich earth, an endeavor demanding both expertise and respect for the natural world. As it emerged to greet the light for the very first time, it revealed its cushion shape with dimensions of 6.48 x 6.42 x 3.78 mm. This was just the raw, uncut form—a preview of the spark it would unleash upon transformation. Each facet was carefully shaped through a mixed brilliant cut, an artisanal technique that highlights the gem’s mesmerizing sparkle. The precise angles cut into the stone ensure that light refracts within, creating a scintillating dance of flashes and glimmers, unrivaled by any other.

This exquisite sapphire, with its intense color intensity and very slight inclusions evaluated at eye level, became a spectacle of nature’s marvels. Its brilliant hue is vivid and unforgettable, an echo of sunsets casting across Ceylon’s skies. Under meticulous polish, this lovely stone emerged with a surface so immaculate it mirrors the precision of the craftsmanship it represents.
