0.66 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of Sri Lanka, also known as Ceylon, beneath the lush landscapes that stretch into the horizon, lies a treasure trove of gemstones famous for their unparalleled beauty. It is here, amidst the rhythmic plantations and serene hills, that our exquisite purple sapphire began its journey. Over centuries, the island of Ceylon has whispered tales of stones that capture the earth's mystery in their vibrant hues and reflections. These stories, sealed within the soil by time and nature, begin with the birth of a beautiful transparent 0.66-carat oval sapphire, destined to grace someone's most cherished moments.

Ceylon is renowned worldwide for producing vibrant gemstones, and this sapphire is no exception. Carefully unearthed by skilled hands, this sapphire emerges with a medium intense color intensity that captivates the eye. Once extracted from its birthplace, the meticulous journey of crafting this gemstone into the precious jewel it is today begins. Our craftsmen at The Natural Sapphire Company use a mixed brilliant cut to transform each sapphire into a gem that harnesses the light, capturing brilliance and clarity from every angle. Sapphires are not simply gemstones. They are manifestations of nature's art, crafted through time and pressure yet perfected by human touch.

This purple sapphire is more than just its physical attributes. Its dimensions of 6.12 x 4.98 x 3.05 mm encapsulate stories deeper than many can fathom. The symmetry of its oval shape mirrors the timeless balance of nature, while its eye-clean clarity ensures an unobstructed view into its inner world — a world where each facet serves to tell a unique tale of its own. The excellent polish further accentuates its allure, providing a surface as smooth as the tranquil waters of its native isle. Wearing this sapphire is to carry a piece of nature's serenity and elegance, a narrative of wonder on one's hand.

When considering an engagement gemstone, the significance goes beyond aesthetics. It is an emblem of love and enduring connection, much like the journey this sapphire undertakes from the depths of the earth to its crafted form. An engagement represented by this gem entwines with a heritage of craftsmanship, cultural richness, and natural beauty known only to Ceylon's treasures. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we ensure each gemstone resonates with the personal and profound significance it holds. Choosing this sapphire as a token of commitment unfolds a narrative that one can cherish, akin to the love it symbolizes, embodying the eternal beauty and wonder of the earth itself.
