1.84 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Formed over millions of years beneath the ancient landscapes of Sri Lanka, this stunning 1.84 carat purple sapphire is a testament to nature's unrivaled artistry. The geological forces that brought this exquisite gemstone to life began with the cooling and solidification of molten rock deep within the Earth's crust. Over countless millennia, this slow shift allowed trace elements of iron and titanium to infuse the crystal lattice, bestowing upon the sapphire its intense and captivating purple hue. These trace element interactions are pivotal, creating the gemstone's intense color intensity that skilled gemologists and connoisseurs highly appreciate.

The oval shape of this sapphire, with its precise dimensions of 8.84 x 6.40 x 4.02 mm, enhances its allure, allowing light to dance across its surface. Expertly faceted with a mixed brilliant cut, this gem maximizes brilliance and fire through a harmonious blend of step cuts on the pavilion and brilliant cuts on the crown. This intricate technique requires exceptional skill, ensuring that each facet is meticulously aligned to reflect light optimally, creating a mesmerizing play of color and brilliance that captures the eye.

The sapphire's clarity grade, classified as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, underscores its rarity and desirability. Even to the discerning observer, the inclusions within this gem are virtually invisible without magnification, preserving the stone's overall appearance and value. The exceptional craftsmanship extends further, with an excellent polish that provides a flawless, mirror-like surface, enhancing the stone's natural beauty and securing its status as a high-quality piece.
