1.34 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the sun warmed alluvial gravels of Ceylon, a single purple sapphire began its long journey, carried from ancient rock to the patient hands of cutters and polishers. This transparent 1.34 carat cushion shaped gem measures 6.42 x 5.50 x 3.85 mm, and it was faceted with a mixed brilliant cut to draw light into its soft violet heart. Its color shows a light intensity that reads as delicate and wearable, while an excellent polish gives every facet a crisp reflection. At eye level the clarity grades as slightly included, a subtle signature that tells of natural formation and authenticity. This sapphire bears no enhancement, and its origin from Sri Lanka lends it a provenance that collectors and storytellers alike value. As stewards of fine gemstones, The Natural Sapphire Company carefully selected and documented this stone so that its origin, cut, and condition remain part of the piece that will be passed down.

When you imagine this sapphire set into a ring or pendant, you are picturing a future heirloom that will age with stories. Sapphire ranks among the hardest of gem materials, so this stone is built to be worn daily, caught in embraces and marked by the life it witnesses. The cushion shape is timeless, and the mixed brilliant faceting balances sparkle with depth, making the gem adaptable to both modern and classic settings. Slight inclusions are a fingerprint of nature, reassuring heirs that this is an untouched, genuine gem with no enhancement, not an imitation of rarity. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can help design a setting that protects the stone and highlights its soft purple glow, using secure prongs or a bezel to guard against everyday knocks.
