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

A rare and elegant treasure, this transparent 3.01 carat pear shape pinkish purple sapphire is a singular offering from The Natural Sapphire Company, destined for those who appreciate rarity and exquisite provenance. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and presented in a refined pear silhouette, the gem measures 11.62 by 7.39 by 4.67 mm, features a mixed brilliant cut, and carries a clarity grade of eye clean when evaluated at eye level. The color intensity is medium, offering a compelling balance between delicacy and presence, while the polish is excellent, allowing every facet to sit like a mirror. There is no enhancement to alter or enhance the hue, so you are seeing an authentic, unaltered expression of Ceylonian beauty, a gemstone that embodies both natural whisper and noble character. Because sapphires of this size and pure history appear only rarely, the piece feels bespoke from the outset, a private discovery reserved for an elite collector or a client seeking a solitary signature stone for a once in a lifetime commission.

How this sapphire sings under light is part of its unique charm, and the mixed brilliant cut has been carefully fashioned to maximize fire and scintillation while preserving the gentle pinkish purple tone that makes this stone so special. In bright north light and cool daylight, the sapphire reveals its true heart, with a crystalline clarity that allows pale lilac and rosy undertones to surface across the table, bringing a luminous, almost ethereal glow. Under direct sunlight the stone gains a lively intensity, the facets slicing rays into flashes of soft pink, lavender, and silvery white, a lively choreography of brilliance and color that draws the eye without shouting. Under warm incandescent light and candlelight the pinkish side of the palette warms further, becoming a richer rose and creating a flattering, intimate radiance that flatters skin tones and reflects an old world charm. In modern LED and controlled artificial lighting the mixed facets respond with crisp scintillation and a dynamic play of light that can look almost floral in movement, while in lower light settings the stone keeps a subtle glow and an inner light that hints at deeper color, promising presence even when illumination is subtle. The pear shape then becomes a living element of design, the tapered point catching light with concentrated brilliance, the rounded base throwing broader flashes, so whether set as a striking solitaire or embraced within a halo you gain both focused sparkle and broad luminosity.

Owning this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an invitation to join a small circle of connoisseurs who prize authenticity, rarity, and timeless elegance. This piece is ideal for a custom ring or pendant where the long pear profile can be shown to its best advantage, and the unenhanced origin from Ceylon gives it collector credibility and enduring value. We recommend settings that complement its pinkish purple personality, such as warm rose gold to amplify its rosy notes, or platinum for contrast that emphasizes crystal clarity, and our bespoke design service is available to craft a setting that honors the gem without competing with it. As an unheated, eye clean sapphire with excellent polish and precise mixed brilliant faceting it is a superb candidate for a future heirloom, a gemstone that will be admired for its natural story as much as for its visual beauty. For those who seek rarity and the privilege of exclusive ownership, this pear shape sapphire stands as a refined and singular choice, a gem that announces taste, discretion, and the timeless appeal of Ceylon sapphires, offered with the care and expertise that define The Natural Sapphire Company.
