1.50 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Born from the ancient soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, this luminous purple sapphire evokes a legacy that predates written history, a legacy of kings and craftsmen who revered color and light above all else. The oval silhouette, classical and enduring, has been prized by cultures across continents, and here it arrives in a truly assured size and presence. Weighing 1.50 carats, and measuring 8.17 by 6.26 by 3.56 millimeters, this transparent gem presents a balance of substance and elegance that makes it impossible to overlook, while its medium color intensity gives it a dignified tone that reads as refined rather than flamboyant. At The Natural Sapphire Company we respect the deep traditions that surround Ceylon sapphires, and we celebrate the rare convergence of natural origin, superb polish, and untouched authenticity that this stone represents, qualities that have been admired for generations and that promise to endure.

Under the light, the mixed brilliant cut of this oval sapphire reveals every facet of its careful workmanship, translating internal clarity into lively scintillation and soft flashes of violet and lilac. The clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, assures that the gem reads as clean when mounted, allowing the eye to travel across a smooth, transparent field of color, while the very small, natural inclusions attest to the stone s natural origin and do not detract from its visual impact. With an excellent polish, each facet catches and returns light with grace, making the stone an ideal centerpiece for a statement design, whether set as a solitary solitaire where its color and size command attention, or embraced by a halo that amplifies its brilliance without overwhelming its subtle purple character. The lack of any enhancement is a profound detail, a confirmation that the color and clarity you see are entirely the work of nature, and this authenticity elevates the gem from a mere accessory to an heirloom destined to be worn and treasured.

This purple sapphire is the sort of stone that invites devotion, it is the focal point around which a personal narrative can be built, a gem that will feel at home in a historic inspired setting as effortlessly as it will in a contemporary sculptural mount. For those who value lineage and story, the sapphire s origin in Ceylon Sri Lanka connects the wearer to a long arc of gemological heritage, while its clarity and size promise immediate visual authority, the kind that opens conversations and marks moments. At The Natural Sapphire Company we are pleased to offer guidance on custom settings that honor the stone s proportions and reveal its best virtues, from softly tapered shoulders that highlight the oval outline to low profile bezels that protect while preserving maximum light return. When selected as a ring center, pendant, or brooch, this sapphire will stand as a deliberate expression of taste, a testament to restraint and depth, and a jewel designed to be worn across seasons and passed between generations.
