4.02 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Close your eyes and imagine the moment a story begins, deep inside the ancient soils of Ceylon, where the earth holds secrets in the shade of verdant palms, where rivers sing and miners bend low with patient hands and hopeful hearts. From that serene landscape comes this extraordinary cushion shaped purplish pink sapphire, a gem that carries the warmth of Sri Lankan sunlight in every facet. At 4.02 carats, and measuring 9.64 x 9.31 x 4.90 mm, this stone feels like a heartbeat you can wear, transparent and luminous, with an intense color that stops time. The journey from mine to market is more than a passage, it is a passage of care, and The Natural Sapphire Company is honored to bring you a treasure whose story begins where nature first whispered color into crystal, and continues with people who believed in its promise.

The early chapters of this gem were written by the miners who found it, hands guided by instinct and experience, eyes trained to spot the rarest flashes beneath clay and gravel. In the world of sapphires, Ceylon is a storyteller, and this purplish pink sapphire is one of its most poetic lines. It emerged from the earth with potential and personality, showing promise in its shape and depth. Our gem specialists then took over, not to alter its soul, but to reveal it. The stone underwent professional heat treatment, a customary enhancement that deepens color and clarity with respect for the natural character of the sapphire. This refinement was done solely to elevate the gem's innate beauty, ensuring the intense color intensity you see now glows evenly throughout the pavilion and crown, inviting the eye to fall in love.

Careful cutting transformed raw promise into brilliant performance, and every facet of this mixed brilliant cut was conceived to celebrate the sapphire's purplish pink hue. The cushion silhouette was chosen to marry vintage romance with modern brilliance, to create a silhouette that sits gracefully on the finger while throwing playful light across every surface. The cutter coaxed life from within, preserving transparency while balancing light return and sparkle. The clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, which means the stone shows natural inclusions that attest to its genuine origin without diminishing its radiance. With an excellent polish, the surface gleams like a finished memory, inviting touch and closeness, urging you to hold it, to set it, to turn it toward the sun and watch the color bloom.

By the time the sapphire arrives at The Natural Sapphire Company, it carries the imprint of every hand that touched it and the patience of every hour invested to honor its potential. Our gemologists and designers evaluate each detail meticulously, from the symmetry of the mixed brilliant cut to the warmth of the purplish pink, ensuring the stone is worthy of the stories it will witness once set. Imagine gifting this sapphire, watching the recipient bring it to the light and gasp at the depth and intensity, or imagine it as the centerpiece of a bespoke ring, a promise made tangible, a milestone adorned in color. The measurements, the clarity grade, the excellent polish, the 4.02 carat weight, and the Sri Lankan origin all become parts of the narrative you tell when someone asks about it. Each technical specification is a line in a shared memory, a detail that enhances the emotional value rather than diminishes it.
