0.27 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the enchanting world of gemstones, the purple sapphire stands as a testament to the rich traditions and timeless elegance that define the very fabric of historical jewelry craftsmanship. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are proud to present a captivating example of this tradition--a transparent 0.27 carat emerald cut purple sapphire, distinguished by its exquisite beauty and refined elegance. Measuring 4.68 x 2.68 x 2.09 mm, this sapphire is a precious gemstone that carries the whispers of ancient times and the myths of fabled lands. Its origin in the illustrious gem-rich locales of Ceylon, modern-day Sri Lanka, only adds to its allure, grounding its beauty in a legacy of excellence that spans centuries.

The emerald cut of this purple sapphire is a nod to classic design, with lines that accentuate its deep and purist essence. The step-like architecture of the emerald cut draws the eye into its core, revealing dimensions of color that play across its surface with every turn. The medium intense color intensity of the sapphire delivers an ambiance of regal composure, its purple hue evoking a sense of royals and magicians, mystery and allure. This gemstone's clarity grade, very slightly included and evaluated at eye level, ensures that it holds its own in any light, offering brilliant refractions that capture attention without losing coherence. It is precisely these qualities--a marriage of clarity, color, and cut-- that establish its place in the pantheon of timeless gems.

When skillfully paired with complementary gemstones in a custom piece, our purple sapphire's beauty is both accentuated and enhanced, becoming a central character in a complex narrative of nature and artifice. Imagine it nestled within a setting that boasts the classic interplay of diamonds and rich green emeralds, each stone chosen for how it contrasts and emphasizes the potent charm of the sapphire. The diamonds' brilliance serves to highlight the depth of the sapphire's color, playing with light to produce a dance of shimmer that enthralls the observer. Meanwhile, emeralds, with their green hue, provide a vibrant contrast that frames the purple sapphire, adding layers of depth and a harmonious balance to the piece.

Our artisans at The Natural Sapphire Company are highly skilled in turning such concepts into stunning realities, ensuring each custom design not only meets but exceeds expectations of sophistication and timeless appeal. The juxtaposition of the purple sapphire alongside other stones like rubies or soft-toned pearls provides a balanced symphony of colors catering to those with an eye for tradition and a love for elegant keepsakes. Each piece tells a story, connecting its wearer to a long lineage of beauty and craft, capturing the essence of not just our gem’s storied past but also its promising future. In offering this delicate purple sapphire, we invite you to become a part of its ongoing story, to cherish a gemstone that is as enduring as it is unique.
