0.22 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of Sri Lanka, known for centuries as Ceylon, lies a landscape where the earth holds secrets older than time itself. It is from this lush and verdant land that our exquisite purple sapphire begins its timeless journey. This 0.22 carat gem, transparent yet vibrant, is the very embodiment of Ceylonese splendor. Its round shape and dimensions of 3.76 by 3.77 by 2.02 mm might seem modest at first glance. However, the allure of this sapphire is found in its striking color, enhanced by an intense color intensity that bestows upon it a regal presence. The miner's touch, adept at sensing the pulse of the earth, first uncovered this precious treasure. With unmatched precision and a tradition that spans generations, they worked tirelessly to reveal the splendor locked within its depths.

As it made its way from the mine to the masterful hands of artisans, the sapphire underwent a transformation. The rough stone, unformed yet promising, was sculpted into perfection through a mixed brilliant cut, designed to catch and refract the light in a dazzling display of brilliance. Hours of meticulous cutting and polishing shaped not just a gemstone, but an heirloom destined to be cherished for years to come. Its clarity, though slightly included, only adds to its character, bearing witness to the natural forces that crafted it over millennia. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we embrace these small imperfections, understanding that they are as unique as a fingerprint, a testament to the authenticity and history of its formation.

This sapphire, with its excellent polish, captures not just the eye but the imagination. As you hold it, consider the heritage it carries. Its journey culminates in your hands, wherever you may be, allowing a piece of ancient Ceylon to light your life anew. With its vibrant hue reminiscent of twilight on the Indian Ocean's shores, this purple sapphire is more than just a gemstone. It is a connection to tradition, to the earth that bore it, and to the hands that shaped it into beauty. As part of The Natural Sapphire Company collection, it stands as a beacon of elegance and timelessness, inviting you to partake in its rich story and carry forward its legacy for generations yet to come.
