1.78 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gemstones that catch the eye, and then there are gemstones that quietly claim a place in the rarest corners of a connoisseur collection, and this 1.78 carat purplish pink sapphire sits firmly in that second category, an object of desire offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. At 1.78 carats this cushion shaped sapphire carries a weight that immediately changes its presence and its value, a size that moves beyond mere accent stone and becomes the central statement, a size that is often the difference between an ordinary purchase and a considered acquisition for collectors and those seeking a singular, lasting heirloom. The transparent body of this gem allows its medium intense color to breathe and play across its facets, the purplish pink tone combining the romantic warmth of pink with the regal depth of lavender influenced hues, a coloration that is particularly coveted when it presents with this degree of saturation and clarity. The origin of this gem is Ceylon Sri Lanka, an island whose name has long been synonymous with some of the finest sapphires in the world, and provenance from Ceylon adds another layer of prestige and desirability for a buyer who understands the significance of origin in the world market.

The physical measurements of this cushion sapphire are an exacting expression of its rarity and usability, at 7.20 x 5.77 x 4.11 mm the stone offers balanced proportions that translate beautifully into a variety of bespoke settings, from a refined solitaire to an intricate halo design, and the mixed brilliant cut has been skillfully executed to maximize scintillation and internal fire. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a grade that in a gem of this color and cut becomes a hallmark of natural origin rather than a detriment, inclusions that are not distracting at normal viewing distances and that in many cases can act as a fingerprint of the stones natural history. The polish on this sapphire is excellent, a finish that allows each facet to reflect light cleanly, and the absence of any enhancement, no heat treatment or other modifications, elevates this gem into a rarified category where rarity is defined not only by color and carat but by absolute authenticity. Each of these technical attributes, the exact carat weight, the well measured dimensions, the thoughtful cutting, the clarity grade, the superior polish, and the untouched, natural state, combine to create a piece whose market value is driven as much by its measurable properties as by the narrative of its natural origin.

Owning this 1.78 carat purplish pink sapphire is an opportunity to join an elite group of collectors and clients who understand how weight transforms a gemstone into an investment and an emblem, weight is not merely a number, it is the measure by which rarity often becomes appreciable over time, and a sapphire of this weight from Ceylon with no enhancement is a scarce occurrence on the global market. For a ring this carat size sits at a sweet spot that balances wearability with presence, it is large enough to command attention without sacrificing comfort for daily wear, and for necklaces or bespoke pieces the stones proportions make it an adaptable center that will maintain its allure in both modern and classic designs. The mixed brilliant cut ensures that light performance accentuates the medium intense color, achieving a lively interplay of hue and brilliance that is especially prized in purplish pink sapphires, and this interplay is further highlighted by the excellent polish which allows the surface to act as a pristine window into the gems heart. When you choose a gem from The Natural Sapphire Company you are selecting from a curated inventory where each piece has been evaluated for its ability to endure as a treasured possession, and this particular sapphire tests all of those standards and exceeds many of them because of its commanding carat weight and uncompromised natural character.

Because truly exceptional sapphires are found in only modest numbers, this purplish pink cushion from Ceylon is presented with an emphasis on discretion and bespoke service, our approach at The Natural Sapphire Company is to pair such rare gems with personalized guidance, ensuring that the final setting enhances the stones natural strengths while reflecting the owners unique taste. We are mindful that for many of our clients the purchase of a gemstone is not simply a transaction but an initiation into a lineage of possession where provenance, treatment history, and measurable attributes such as the 1.78 carat weight all converge to define lasting value, and for this reason we provide detailed assessments and thoughtful recommendations on mounting styles, metal choices, and design proportions to maximize both aesthetic impact and future desirability. Availability of unenhanced Ceylon sapphires at this carat and color is limited, and opportunities to acquire pieces with such a combination of weight, color intensity, and natural clarity are rare, therefore we encourage interested clients to reach out to discuss private viewing options, bespoke commissioning for a setting, and any questions about certification and long term care. Owning this sapphire will place you among a select group of patrons who appreciate the subtle but profound ways that carat weight elevates rarity, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands ready to assist you in making this exceptional gem the next distinguished piece in your collection.
