1.02 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite 1.02 carat pear shape purple sapphire hails from the storied gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a place whose name evokes centuries of royal courts and seafaring trade. Transparent and elegantly proportioned, this gem measures 7.90 x 5.11 x 3.56 mm, and its faceted, mixed brilliant cut reflects a cutting tradition that balances classical form with modern precision. The light purple hue carries a light color intensity that feels both delicate and noble, a shade that reads as refined and timeless rather than fleeting. With a clarity grade described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, the stone offers eye clean appeal while retaining the natural characteristics that collectors and connoisseurs prize. Finished to an excellent polish and confirmed to have no enhancement, this sapphire arrives as a pure, untouched example of nature refined by skill, ready to be set into a piece that will be treasured for generations.
