0.44 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a refined, distinctive center stone that balances presence with everyday wearability, this 0.44 carat oval purple sapphire is designed to end your search, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present this elegant option. At 0.44 carats this sapphire brings a meaningful gemstone weight that reads as premium without demanding an oversized profile, making it ideal for engagement rings, delicate solitaires, and refined stackable pieces. The oval shape, measuring 5.10 x 4.12 x 2.52 mm, creates a flattering elongated silhouette that visually stretches the finger while maintaining a comfortable scale for daily wear. Transparency is excellent, so light passes through the mixed brilliant cut facets to create a lively play of brilliance and subtle color dispersion. For customers who want a gemstone that signifies quality in a compact package, the carat weight here is significant because it represents an expertly proportioned stone, where every fraction of a carat is optimized for sparkle, symmetry, and wearable luxury.

Beyond its pleasing weight and shape, this gem offers connoisseur level details that speak to its natural origin and superb finish. The sapphire shows a light color intensity in a lovely purple hue, a tone that feels both romantic and modern, and its clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which is a common and acceptable clarity for natural sapphires, especially those that are completely untreated. Importantly, this stone has received no enhancement, preserving the integrity and value that collectors and discerning buyers prize, and it hails from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with beautiful color nuance and historical prestige. The mixed brilliant cut enhances light return and scintillation, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and a smooth surface that sets off both brilliance and color. These combined attributes mean that the 0.44 carat weight is not merely a number, but a mark of premium quality, offering a concentrated expression of color and fire that outperforms many larger stones that lack comparable natural character and finish.

If you are considering pairing or setting options, this purple sapphire pairs wonderfully with a White Opal center or accent stones, creating a soft, ethereal contrast where the opal type identified as White Opal provides a subtle play of color and a creamy backdrop to the sapphire’s light purple. Whether you envision a classic halo, a three stone design, or an asymmetric custom piece, the modest yet meaningful 0.44 carat size allows for creative settings that emphasize color contrast, finger coverage, and comfort. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand the desire for a gemstone that feels special, meaningful, and versatile, and we are ready to help you select the perfect mounting, metal, and complementary stones to bring your vision to life.
