0.64 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Formed deep within the Earth's crust millions of years ago, this exquisite purple sapphire is a testament to the extraordinary geological processes that shape our planet. Located in the renowned gem-producing region of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this sapphire's story begins under conditions of extreme heat and pressure. These unique conditions allowed for the formation of corundum, the mineral that, with trace amounts of iron and titanium, gives rise to the striking purple hue of this gemstone. Over the eons, tectonic shifts and volcanic activity transported these precious stones closer to the Earth's surface, making them accessible to intrepid miners.

The exemplary characteristics of this sapphire are immediately apparent in its precise specifications. Weighing in at 0.64 carats, this gem strikes a perfect balance between size and subtlety. Its dimensions of 5.84 x 4.15 x 3.34 mm are evidence of meticulous cutting, designed to maximize the sapphire's inherent beauty while preserving its natural integrity. The mixed brilliant cut enhances the stone's reflective qualities, allowing it to sparkle brilliantly under any light. It is crafted to showcase the sapphire's medium intense color intensity, exuding a rich and vibrant hue that captivates and inspires.

The clarity grade of this sapphire is classified as very slightly included, meaning that it possesses only minor inclusions that are barely detectable at eye level. Such clarity is a testament to the exceptional conditions in which these gemstones form, as well as the high standards maintained throughout its extraction and preparation. The excellent polish further amplifies its allure, creating a smooth and flawless surface that permits light to dance effortlessly across its facets. The quality of this handmade piece from its precision cut to its impeccable finish speaks to the skill and dedication of the artisans who shaped it.
