0.60 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When it comes to gemstones, few can rival the allure and distinctiveness of sapphires, and even fewer match the specific brilliance of our 0.60 carat oval shape purple sapphire. At first glance, you may wonder, in a world where diamonds hold sway as the traditional centerpiece of elegance and luxury, why choose a sapphire? The answer lies in the exquisite craftsmanship and natural beauty embodied by our sapphire, sourced directly from the famed mines of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Known for producing some of the world's most superior sapphires, Sri Lanka has blessed this gem with a unique heritage that is as storied as it is striking.

Our brilliant purple sapphire boasts dimensions of 6.03 x 4.17 x 3.07 mm, an ideal size that enhances its presence without overwhelming. This proportion helps the stone to stand out whether it is used in a stately solitaire ring or as the head-turning centerpiece in a pendant. The sapphire's intense color intensity is a trademark of the finest Ceylon sapphires, offering a purple that captures not only light but also the imagination. This intensity of hue is unparalleled when stacked against more common gemstones like topaz or amethyst, which often lack the depth and richness seen in sapphires of this caliber.

Further elevating its desirability is the mixed brilliant cut of our purple sapphire. This innovative cut is not just a testament to the skill of The Natural Sapphire Company's master artisans but also a brilliant maneuver to accentuate the sapphire's inherent sparkle. Unlike the simple cuts seen in less precious stones, the mixed brilliant cut combines the restraint of the traditional emerald cut's shapely elegance with the faceted brilliance of a round cut, giving you the best of both worlds. When observed at eye level, this sapphire reflects light with an entrancing effect, amplified by an excellent polish that ensures a mirror-like sheen across the gemstone’s surface.

One cannot ignore the added advantage of our sapphire’s very slightly included clarity grading. While some might think inclusions hinder the purity of a gemstone, in reality, they play a crucial role in confirming a gem’s natural origin. Our sapphire's clarity strikes the delicate balance between pristine look and authenticity, promising you a stone that not only shines brightly but also holds genuine, untouched beauty. Unlike diamonds or synthetic stones, which may rely on treatment to improve clarity, our sapphire's slight inclusions speak to an honest natural charm that synthetic gatestones will never offer.

When you acquire a sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company, you invest not only in a remarkable gemstone but also in a legacy of quality and enduring curiosity. Each gem we offer is hand-selected to meet the stringent criteria of excellence demanded by discerning gem enthusiasts worldwide. Common jewels might suffice for occasions that dream of instant but fleeting brilliance, yet our sapphire promises a stand-out presence that endures daily admiration over many lifetimes. Side by side with even the most dazzling diamonds or the clearest garnets, our Ceylon purple sapphire remains unequaled—peerless in quality, intense in color, and sublime in presentation.
