Product description

The subject of our discussion is a captivating 1.60 carat pear-shaped purple sapphire, a gem that exemplifies the remarkable benefits of precise cutting techniques. With dimensions of 9.22 x 5.86 x 4.07 mm, this sapphire showcases the expertise and meticulous craftsmanship that The Natural Sapphire Company is known for. The mixed brilliant cut employed in this stone enhances its innate ability to capture and reflect light, resulting in a visual experience that is both stunning and mesmerizing.

In the realm of gemstones, the cut of a stone is paramount in determining its brilliance and overall appearance. For this particular purple sapphire, the mixed brilliant cut amplifies its inherent properties, allowing light to enter the stone and reflect off its internal surfaces with exceptional beauty. The facets have been meticulously aligned to ensure maximum interaction with light, giving rise to an intense sparkle that captivates the observer’s eye. This exquisite play of light is one of the defining characteristics of our gem from Ceylon, further enhanced by its excellent polish, which contributes to an impeccable surface finish that accentuates its brilliance.

A vital aspect of this sapphire's allure is its intense color intensity, a deep and vibrant purple that reflects the rich tradition of high-quality gemstones originating from Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon. The color saturation is uniform throughout the sapphire, a testament to its natural origins and meticulous selection process. This uniformity not only enriches its visual appeal but also speaks to the gemstone's inherent quality. The subtle inclusions, sufficiently minimized to attain a very slightly included clarity grade, are a natural signature hallmarking its authenticity while scarcely impacting its aesthetic beauty.

The pear shape of this sapphire further accentuates its elegance, offering a silhouette that is both unique and classic. This shape, combined with the brilliance afforded by the cut, results in a gemstone that is dynamic and adaptable, suited for a range of jewelry applications from elegant pendants to elaborate rings. Our artisans at The Natural Sapphire Company take immense pride in selecting and crafting such gemstones, ensuring that each piece not only meets but exceeds the expectations of our discerning clientele.

In summary, this 1.60 carat pear-shaped purple sapphire is a demonstration of how expert craftsmanship and strategic design can unlock the potential of a gemstone. The precise mixed brilliant cut maximizes the stone's light reflection and sparkle, allowing the intense color intensity to radiate beautifully from within. Its origins in Ceylon offer an assurance of quality and heritage that distills into tangible elegance and luxury. It is with these standards that The Natural Sapphire Company continues to uphold its repute in delivering gemstones of such unmatched quality.
