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

This exceptional, one of a kind pinkish purple sapphire is a rare offering from The Natural Sapphire Company, a gemstone that speaks to those who seek singular beauty and provenance. Weighing 1.91 carats, and measuring 8.31 x 6.46 x 4.41 millimeters, this oval gem is transparent, with a delicate, faint color intensity that reads as a whisper of lavender infused with rose. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize fire and scintillation, and the excellent polish allows light to travel freely through the stone for a lively, sophisticated presence. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the gem remains visually clean to the unaided eye while retaining natural character. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing sapphires with refined hues and exceptional crystal quality. There has been no enhancement, a fact that increases both rarity and desirability, and places this sapphire among the truly natural treasures that experienced collectors and discerning jewelry clients seek.

Viewed in the hand or once set, the soft pinkish purple tone of this sapphire performs like couture, adapting to light and skin tone while maintaining an unmistakable identity. The mixed brilliant cut brings the table facets together with pavilion facets to yield both depth and sparkle, allowing the gem to project flashes of light that are at once genteel and arresting. Because the color is faint it reads elegant and versatile, ideal for bespoke designs that emphasize subtlety over flash, or for more daring settings that contrast warm or cool metals against the soft hue. The dimensions of 8.31 by 6.46 millimeters offer a presence that carries well in both rings and pendants, and the modest depth of 4.41 millimeters supports a comfortable profile for everyday wear. For collectors who value provenance and transparency, this untreated Ceylon sapphire is a statement piece that quietly declares refinement, a jewel that will form the centerpiece of a heritage creation or the secret splendor in a modern design.

Beyond its aesthetic virtues this sapphire offers reassuring toughness, an important consideration for any gemstone destined for regular wear. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness sapphires score a 9, second only to diamond which scores a 10. This places sapphire among the hardest of gem materials, substantially more resistant to scratches than popular gems such as garnet, topaz, or quartz. In practical terms the Mohs 9 rating means that this stone will withstand daily life with minimal risk of surface abrasion, especially when set by an expert jeweler. The excellent polish and the very slightly included clarity grade further contribute to long term durability, since surface finish and absence of significant internal fractures reduce the likelihood of edge chipping under normal circumstances. For the most secure long term service we recommend protective settings such as a bezel or a well engineered prong mount that keeps the stone seated and shielded, while still allowing light to engage the mixed brilliant facets. Routine cleaning with mild soapy water and a soft brush will maintain brilliance, and occasional professional inspection will ensure settings remain secure.

This is an invitation to claim something truly special, a naturally colored, unenhanced Ceylon sapphire that is offered in extremely limited quantity by The Natural Sapphire Company. Owning this gem places you among a select group who prefer authenticity, old world origin, and the subtle allure of a faint pinkish purple that refuses to shout. We are ready to assist with bespoke mounting options, independent certification upon request, and tailored advice to ensure this sapphire becomes a treasured heirloom that reflects your individual taste. For those who understand rarity and seek to own a gem with verifiable origin and uncompromised natural beauty, this 1.91 carat oval sapphire is an opportunity to acquire a refined and durable jewel that will be admired for generations.
