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

Imagine a twilight garden held in a single stone, a hush of purplish pink that seems to have caught the last blush of sunset and the first sigh of dawn. This cushion shaped sapphire of 1.43 carats rests like a secret on the palm, transparent and full of memory, measuring 7.71 by 6.17 by 3.32 millimeters, faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that scatters light like lanterns on water. Its color is intense, a depth of hue that reads as both promise and poem, while an excellent polish allows every facet to sing. Look closely and you will find it to be very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a tiny signature of its natural birth, clear enough to carry stories, honest enough to carry truth. Untreated, with no enhancement, it arrives as the earth made it, a gem that holds the warmth of its place of origin, Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a country whose soils and craftspeople have given this sapphire its particular voice.
