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

A remarkable testament to refined taste and rare beauty, this transparent 1.44 carat cushion shape purplish pink sapphire captures the eye with an effortless, magnetic presence. Cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style, the gem measures 6.95 x 5.66 x 3.73 mm, and displays an intense color intensity that reads both luxurious and subtly modern. Slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the clarity adds character without diminishing the stone of its optical fire, while an excellent polish allows light to dance across every facet. Untreated, with no enhancement, and originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries provenance that connoisseurs recognize and desire. From The Natural Sapphire Company, it is presented not merely as a gemstone, but as an emblem of accomplishment, an heirloom in embryo awaiting its setting.

Beyond its beauty, the enduring practicality of this sapphire defines its appeal for everyday wear and high jewelry commissions. On the Mohs scale it rates nine out of ten, making it second only to diamond which rates ten, and notably harder than topaz which rates eight and quartz which rates seven. That exceptional hardness delivers superior scratch resistance and resilience, ensuring that the purplish pink hue and fine polish remain undiminished through years of wear. The slight inclusions observed at eye level do not compromise the toughness of the corundum crystal, though expert mounting and a protective setting will enhance longevity. We recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and periodic professional inspection to maintain the stone in pristine condition. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this cushion purplish pink sapphire is an invitation to claim a jewel that announces refined discernment and quiet authority, a stone that rewards ownership with both splendor and steadfast endurance.
