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

Throughout history, certain gemstones have captured our imaginations with their beguiling beauty, timeless elegance, and storied past. Our latest treasure, a resplendent 5.01 carat cushion-shaped pinkish purple sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company, is destined to become part of that illustrious legacy. Evoking the historical allure of Kashmir sapphires, renowned for their vibrant cornflower blues, our Ceylon-origin sapphire holds its own unique and enchanting virtue, combining a rare and captivating color with exceptional clarity and craftsmanship.

Sapphires have long been synonymous with nobility and romance, treasured by ancient rulers and steeped in the traditions of royal families who adorned them in crowns and jewels since antiquity. This gemstone’s journey traces back to storied origins in Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, a region historically revered for producing exceptional sapphires of radiant beauty.

Our pinkish purple sapphire, with its unparalleled color intensity, adds a modern twist to a classic origin, reflecting the enchanting shades that lit historical imaginations and inspired artisans for centuries.

The gem's cushion shape further accentuates its timeless appeal, a cut reminiscent of the classic European-style faceting that was favored among those elegant aristocrats of the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Cutting-edge techniques and the artistry of the past converge in this mixed brilliant cut, where subtle curves and carefully calculated facets allow light to dance magnificently within. Its eye-clean clarity, enhanced by careful heat treatment, ensures an unobstructed gaze into the gemstone’s depth and brilliance that rivals its historical counterparts, making it an heirloom in the truest sense.
