1.24 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a gemstone that stops the search and becomes the heart of a lifetime piece, this 1.24 carat heart shape purple sapphire answers that call. Transparent, with precise dimensions of 6.17 x 6.63 x 3.90 mm, the gem shows a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish that bring out lively sparkle and scintillation. The color sits at a medium intense purple, a tone that reads as romantic and refined, ideal for someone seeking a shade that is distinct from classic blue without losing the regal sapphire character. Slightly included at the eye level, the clarity gives the stone natural personality while retaining visible brightness, and the heat treatment is a standard enhancement that stabilizes and enriches the hue. Originating in Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the provenance and craftsmanship associations collectors and brides value, and the heart shape itself communicates devotion in a way few cuts can match.

For customization, this purple heart sapphire is an exceptionally versatile canvas, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we love translating its potential into wearable art. In a solitaire prong ring the proportions will sit beautifully at the center, allowing light to enter and maximize the mixed brilliant cut play. A delicate halo of small diamonds will increase presence and create a vintage romantic feel, while a bezel setting will offer protective modernity and a sleek profile for daily wear. As a pendant the heart silhouette becomes an intimate focal point, either set alone on a simple chain or framed with accent stones to add contrast. For earrings the stone can be mirrored with matching shapes or paired with white sapphires for a color pop, and for unconventional three stone or bypass rings the heart can be oriented to read as a true heart or as an elegant pear like silhouette. We recommend metal choices of platinum for durability and contrast, yellow gold to warm the purple, and rose gold to heighten the romantic tone. At The Natural Sapphire Company our bespoke design service will suggest proportions that respect the 3.90 mm depth, ensure secure settings for the slightly included clarity grade, and provide sketches, metal samples, and mounting options so your vision becomes a finished piece that ends your search.
