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

This transparent oval sapphire weighs 1.60 carats and measures 7.12 by 6.13 by 4.47 millimeters, presented in a mixed brilliant cut that balances sparkle and proportion. The gem displays a pinkish purple hue with faint color intensity, and its clarity is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level. The cutting and excellent polish yield well defined facets and lively light return, emphasizing the stone’s internal clarity and subtle color. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and the sapphire is natural with no enhancement, a distinction that preserves the gem’s original character and appeal. The combination of a precise oval outline and a skilled mixed brilliant facet arrangement offers both visual elegance and adaptability for a range of fine jewelry settings.

Owning this sapphire is an investment in enduring beauty and considered craftsmanship, rather than a speculative promise. Sapphires are corundum, a durable species that rates highly for daily wear and long term preservation, and an untreated Ceylon stone carries provenance that collectors and connoisseurs value for its natural state and geographic heritage. The careful cutting, consistent polish, and transparent body of this 1.60 carat oval contribute to a gemstone that performs well visually, and that can be set into jewelry designed to last and be passed down. The Natural Sapphire Company selects and documents stones with attention to origin and treatment status, supporting both aesthetic satisfaction and informed ownership. For those commissioning a bespoke piece or enhancing an existing design, this sapphire offers a measured balance of rarity, technical execution, and timeless appearance, making it a considered choice for anyone seeking a gemstone that reflects quality, provenance, and thoughtful craftsmanship.
