0.45 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite purple sapphire is a rare and singular find, presented to discerning collectors by The Natural Sapphire Company, an atelier known for sourcing only the most exceptional natural stones. At 0.45 carat and fashioned into a classic oval, this gem measures 5.14 x 4.02 x 2.45 mm, a compact yet perfectly balanced size that translates into extraordinary versatility for bespoke jewellery. Its mixed brilliant cut is precision executed to maximize return of light within a delicate, faint color intensity that reveals a soft, lilac purple glow under daylight. Transparency and a clarity grade described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level allow the stone to shimmer with a refined purity that speaks to superior rough and masterful cutting. Most importantly, this sapphire bears no enhancement, a trait of growing rarity and a hallmark of value, with an origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka that places it among the most sought after sources for sapphires in the world.

Owning this sapphire is an investment in beauty and craftsmanship, and in a lineage of gemological excellence that few stones can claim. Ceylon sapphires carry a storied reputation for elegant color tones and exceptional crystal quality, and an untreated purple example of this size and clarity is a rare opportunity to own something genuinely distinct. The mixed brilliant cut combines the scintillation of modern faceting with the classic proportions of an oval shape, producing a lively play of light without overwhelming the subtle purple hues. An excellent polish enhances every facet edge, permitting maximum brilliance and a satiny surface that reflects light with calm sophistication. For connoisseurs who appreciate understated luxury, this sapphire offers a refined aesthetic that rewards close inspection and grows in charm over time.

Beyond its immediate visual appeal, this sapphire is a sound long term purchase for those who understand the intersection of rarity and provenance. Natural, untreated stones from Ceylon are increasingly prized by collectors and jewellers, and the assurance of no enhancement elevates this gem above the many treated alternatives on the market. The measured dimensions and the 0.45 carat weight make it ideal for an elegant solitaire, a three stone arrangement, or a refined halo setting that amplifies its presence while preserving the stone as the focal point. Each facet and angle has been considered to respect the original rough, a testament to the craft practiced by cutter and polisher, and an assurance that the stone will retain its character and desirability as trends evolve. When purchased through The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire arrives with the provenance and expert appraisal necessary to support both personal enjoyment and future valuation.
