1.42 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

For centuries, gemstones have captivated the hearts and imaginations of those who understand the intricate dance between nature’s artistry and human craftsmanship. Among the crowning jewels of this rich tapestry is the exquisite pink sapphire from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. Revered through the ages for its breathtaking beauty and mystical allure, this sapphire is not merely a stone, but a testament to nature's unparalleled elegance. Our most recent offering, a 1.42 carat Asscher-cut pink sapphire, is no exception. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we take immense pride in presenting gemstones that do more than captivate. They tell a story of ageless splendor, love, and timeless legacy.

The Asscher cut, characterized by its elegant, octagonal shape, is a design steeped in tradition. It captures and refracts the light in a symphony of brilliance, showcasing the vibrant medium tone of this gemstone’s pink hue. Unlike conventional sapphires that graze the scales of color and craftsmanship faintly, this particular pink sapphire holds a rare place. It offers an intensity of color that is both medium and yet profoundly vibrant, affirming its rarity and desirability. Dimensions of 6.92 x 6.27 x 3.35 mm amplify its presence, carving a niche of extraordinary size and proportion that few can rival. Handcrafted to excellent polish, each facet is meticulously inspected to ensure it meets the highest standards of clarity and brilliance in a gemstone that truly deserves the name.

The clarity of this sapphire, rated as eye clean, invites onlookers into a world unhindered by imperfections. This transparency is not just a marker of purity but also a window into the soul of the stone, evoking a sense of admiration unmatched by gemstones of lesser distinction. As your eyes traverse the crystalline structure, the sapphire evokes a serene elegance that is as timeless as it is rare, befitting those who appreciate the subtle intricacies of natural beauty. Beyond its visual grandeur, Ceylon, the very origin of this sapphire, carries a legacy renowned in antiquity for the quality and allure of its gemstones.

Sri Lanka, historically referred to as the Gem Island, remains an epicenter for gem hunting and has nurtured an unbroken lineage of sapphires that are as richly diverse as the island's history itself. The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to bring forth this exceptional specimen from the storied lands of Ceylon, where each hand-chosen gemstone reflects an esteemed heritage. Every sapphire we curate tells the tale of both ancient traditions and the artistic flair of the present, forging an everlasting bond between past and future. In possessing this pink sapphire, one does not merely acquire a stone, but joins a continuum of history, with ties to the romance and mystery that have always surrounded these precious stones.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we understand the allure of rarity is not just inherit in the uniqueness of a piece, but the emotional resonance it imparts on its beholder. This pink sapphire is a celebration of rarity itself—in hue, size, and provenance. It stands as a singular treasure amid a sea of ordinary finds, embraced by connoisseurs and cherished by those who understand its underlying depth and significance. Echoes of an age-old narrative resonate within its core, a narrative shaped as much by the hands of time as by the precise craftsmanship it embraces. As you look upon this gemstone, we invite you to imagine yourself as part of its eternal story, a custodian for the ages, preserving a remarkable legacy entwined with the beauty and grandeur that only nature can create.
