1.10 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite, transparent purple sapphire presents itself as an object of refined desire, a stone that speaks to discerning taste and quiet achievement. At 1.10 carat and shaped into a graceful oval, its proportions of 7.47 x 5.58 x 3.31 mm are carved with a mixed brilliant cut that captures and disperses light with admirable precision. The medium intense purple color is lively and sophisticated, balanced to flatter a broad range of precious metals and settings, while an excellent polish lends each facet a mirror like finish. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity is very very slightly included, a testament to natural purity that allows the gem to remain clean to the eye and brilliantly luminous. This sapphire originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and arrives to you unadulterated, with no enhancement, ensuring authenticity and long term stability that collectors and connoisseurs prize.

Beyond its visual poetry, this sapphire is engineered by nature for everyday elegance. Sapphires rank at nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond, and this inherent toughness makes this gem exceptionally resistant to scratching, abrasion, and the small impacts of daily life. The very very slightly included clarity grade indicates no structural compromise at a level visible to the eye, so the stone retains both its beauty and its resilience. The excellent polish and precise mixed brilliant cut further protect the gem by optimizing light return and minimizing the appearance of wear. For those who wish to wear this sapphire day after day, it adapts beautifully to rings, pendants, and bracelets, and it responds well to secure settings, including bezel and prong styles that maintain exposure to light while offering protective support.
