1.74 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine holding a sparkling moment of Sri Lankan twilight, a pear shaped purple sapphire that seems to hold a private piece of the sky, a gem destined to become a treasured memory. This transparent 1.74 carat stone measures 8.03 by 6.10 by 4.93 millimeters, and its mixed brilliant cut gives it a lively dance of light that draws the eye and the heart. The color is a medium intensity purple that feels both regal and intimate, perfect for an engagement ring that speaks of devotion, or a special gift that marks a milestone with warmth and meaning. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone presents beautifully to the naked eye, and its excellent polish brings out every facet with clear, sustained brilliance. Importantly, this sapphire is completely natural, with no enhancement, and it comes from the celebrated mines of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source long admired for producing sapphires with soul and character. When you choose this gem, you are choosing a story to pass down, a daily reminder of love and joy, lovingly selected and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company.

Beyond its beauty this sapphire offers remarkable durability, which makes it ideal for pieces intended to be worn and loved every day. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness sapphire registers a nine, making it one of the hardest natural gemstones available, second only to diamond which is ten on the same scale. That translates to excellent resistance to scratches from most materials you encounter in daily life, and gives you confidence that its surface will retain its polish and sparkle with minimal special care. For everyday settings choose secure prongs or a bezel to protect the pear shape while showcasing its gleam, and know that with proper wear it will be a steadfast companion for decades. At The Natural Sapphire Company we are passionate about pairing exceptional gemstones with the lives they will brighten, and this unenhanced Ceylon purple sapphire offers both emotional resonance and proven durability, a perfect promise in stone that will lift celebrations and quiet moments into lasting memories.
