1.37 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the verdant heart of Sri Lanka, amidst the lush greenery and serene landscapes, a remarkable journey begins. It starts in the mineral-rich valleys of Ceylon, where the earth cradles within it a treasure both precious and rare. Here, nestled in the bountiful soil, lies a sapphire unlike any other. Its deep connection to the land is evident in every facet of its unforgettable presence, born from the perfect combination of time, pressure, and nature’s artistry. This 1.37 carat oval shape purple sapphire, though petite in its dimensions, holds within a vibrant story of a land as old as time, offering testament to nature’s prowess.

The allure of this gemstone is captured through its enchanting mixed brilliant cut, a design conceived to reflect and refract light with spectacular brilliance. At 6.98 x 6.13 x 3.91 mm, its size arrays just enough presence on the skin to draw the eye, yet it does not overwhelm. The clarity, evaluated carefully at eye level, scores as very slightly included, meaning it carries the authentic inner world of nature, yet remains stunningly clear, allowing the light to play within its depths freely. Borrowing hues from twilight’s gentle caress, its medium light color intensity evokes a softness and an understated elegance. In this purple sapphire, there exists a delicate balance of light and color, showcasing an auroral essence that is both peaceful and profound.

Our expert craftsmen at The Natural Sapphire Company cultivate this sapphire’s potential into something extraordinary. With an excellent polish applied to every surface, the sapphire emerges in its final form as a mirror into which the beholder may lose themselves.

The polish preserves its memorability, echoing the facets of moments frozen in time, inviting contemplation as it sits upon the skin. This journey from raw origin to refined splendor reflects our commitment to excellence and connection with history, paying homage to the land from which it arrived.

Perhaps one of the most captivating aspects of this gem is its ability to transcend simple physical beauty. Its unique purples possess an evocative warmth that harmonizes with praticamente any skin tone, enhancing the wearer’s natural undertones in a symphony of color. On porcelain-like pale skin, the sapphire whispers, mirroring the freshness of an evening breeze. Against olive or dark complexions, its vibrancy is increased, resonating with the depth of rich umber soil beneath undulating sunlit hills.
