0.57 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the verdant landscapes of Ceylon where the monsoon rains nurture the rich earth and vibrant life flourishes, the journey of a remarkable gemstone begins. Buried deep within the soil of this storied island nation, a unique treasure awaits discovery. Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, has been celebrated for centuries as the birthplace of some of the world’s most exquisite sapphires. These gemstones are renowned not only for their vivid hues but also for their storied history, deeply intertwined with culture and legend. It is here that our beautiful 0.57 carat cushion shape purple sapphire is born, its striking hue shaped over eons through natural processes both mysterious and extraordinary.

Emerging from the depths, this sapphire becomes a testament to nature’s artistry. The gem cutters of The Natural Sapphire Company, artisans who have honed their craft through generations, delicately work with the raw sapphire, respecting its form and promoting its natural beauty. Each careful cut reveals the heart of the stone, enhancing its ability to capture and reflect light in joyous symphony. With a mixed brilliant cut that balances elegance with allure, our cushion-shaped sapphire captures attention immediately. Its dimensions, 5.10 x 3.95 x 3.13 mm, make it a petite but potent marvel, entrancing in its intense color saturation and perfect excellent polish. Though very slightly included—a detail in no way apparent to the naked eye—the clarity remains astonishing, a testament to the balanced and exceptional quality cherished by connoisseurs.

Under various lighting conditions, this sapphire assumes a character as multifaceted as its history. By day, the sun caresses it with warm fingers, revealing a heart-stopping brilliance, creating a display of vivid purples that change depth and range with every nuance of light. In softer lighting conditions, such as indoors near candlelight, its intense color provides a mesmerism of soft allure, lending enchanting warmth to evening affairs. When the twilight descends, the gem whispers tales of ancient times and distant lands, its luminosity suggesting mysteries yet unsolved. This ability of the sapphire to shift and play with light ensures it remains everlasting in perception, charming ladies and gentlemen alike for years to come.
