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

A pear shape of refined poise and rare presence, this 1.62 carat pinkish purple sapphire captures a subtle drama that only nature and masterful cutting can produce. Measuring 8.74 by 6.11 by 3.96 millimeters, the gem is faceted in a mixed brilliant cut that gives the stone a scintillating combination of fire and depth, allowing the medium intense color to play between delicate rose and regal violet as it turns in the light. The clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a testament to its transparency and the careful selection standards upheld by The Natural Sapphire Company. With an excellent polish and no enhancement, this Ceylon sapphire arrives to you in an untouched state, an authentic natural expression of Sri Lankan terroir and gemological heritage, a jewel that reads as both elegant and honest, designed for the wearer who values provenance as much as presence.

Beyond its beauty, this sapphire confers enduring confidence, because it is corundum, the mineral that sits at 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond at 10. Compared to common gemstones such as quartz at 7 and topaz at 8, this stone offers superior scratch resistance and resilience for daily wear, making it an ideal center for a ring that will be worn and admired, not locked away. Its hardness does not sacrifice warmth, because the medium intense pinkish purple hue remains vivid, and the very very slightly included clarity allows the light to travel and create a lively, luxurious scintillation. Set thoughtfully, this pear will flatter a range of designs from classic solitaires to bespoke halo settings, and with basic care it will reward generations of wearers. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this sapphire as more than an adornment, it is a quiet proclamation of refined taste, a purchase that signifies achievement and discernment, a rare natural treasure that aligns beauty, durability, and ethical certainty in a way only an unenhanced Ceylon sapphire can.
