1.56 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.56 carat transparent pinkish purple sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an exceptional example of Ceylon origin gem quality, cut in an elegant emerald cut with dimensions 7.53 millimeters by 6.48 millimeters by 3.23 millimeters, very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish, no enhancement. The emerald cut gives this sapphire a refined, architectural look, with broad step facets that create expansive, mirror like flashes of color rather than the small pinpoint scintillation found in brilliant cuts. That broad, even light return enhances the stone s natural saturation and allows the vivid pinkish purple hue to read consistently from table to girdle. The unenhanced nature adds a premium level of rarity and collector appeal because the gem displays its color and clarity naturally, and the very slightly included clarity grade means it is effectively eye clean, providing clean visual presence in jewelry without distracting internal features.

When comparing brilliance and overall visual impact to more common gemstones this sapphire stands apart in several ways. Compared with diamonds, which exhibit strong white brilliance and high dispersion because of their higher refractive index, this Ceylon sapphire offers a different kind of optical beauty that centers on rich color and deep internal glow rather than white sparkle. Against quartz varieties such as amethyst, this sapphire delivers far superior color saturation, toughness, and long term wearability because of sapphire s greater hardness and durability. Compared with spinel and many commercial sapphires, the vivid intensity of this pinkish purple, the excellent polish, and the eye level clarity make it more lively and valuable for the same carat weight. The emerald cut accentuates these advantages by maximizing color zoning and minimizing the visibility of inclusions, resulting in a gem that reads larger and more vibrant than many stones of comparable size. For customers seeking a standout center stone that combines collectible provenance, natural unheated color, practical durability, and a unique, jewel like brilliance focused on color rather than white flash, this Ceylon emerald cut pinkish purple sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an outstanding choice.
