0.40 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite 0.40 carat oval-shaped purple sapphire exemplifies the pinnacle of fine gemstone craftsmanship and is a testament to the rich gemological heritage of Ceylon, now referred to as Sri Lanka. Its dimensions of 4.44 x 4.08 x 2.80 mm illustrate a perfectly balanced form that echoes the traditional values of beauty and proportion prized by gemstone connoisseurs. Crafted with a mixed brilliant cut, this sapphire optimizes light reflection through its strategically positioned facets, ensuring a dazzling display that appeals to both the seasoned collector and the discerning jewelry aficionado. The cut enhances the vivid purple hue, rendering an intense color intensity that stands as a hallmark of rare quality. At the heart of its allure is its striking ability to complement diverse skin tones, making it an adaptable selection for various jewelry settings.

The clarity of the sapphire is graded as very slightly included. This means that while minor inclusions may exist, they are not readily visible to the unaided eye. Such clarity allows the sapphire to maintain an unimpaired transparency, further amplified by its excellent polish. The surface luster derived from the polish contributes to an overall gleaming appearance, crucial when the gemstone is viewed from any angle. The optical performance of this sapphire is undisputedly superior. Whether set in a ring, necklace, or earrings, its brilliance remains uncompromised, evolving with every movement to display a spectacle of shifting light and color.

One of the most favorable attributes of purple sapphires in jewelry is their innate versatility. The rich, yet subtle, violet tones of this Ceylon gem can enhance the natural warmth of warmer skin tones, adding depth and sophistication, while providing a striking contrast on cooler skin tones, thereby highlighting undertones beautifully. Designed by artisans at The Natural Sapphire Company, who uphold stringent standards of gemstone crafting, this sapphire represents not just an investment in quality, but also an appreciation for the nuanced artistry that has defined the gemstone trade for centuries. This purple sapphire is the ideal centerpiece for creating standout pieces of jewelry that are as unique as the individuals who wear them.
