1.87 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This extraordinary purple sapphire, offered exclusively by The Natural Sapphire Company, is a rare and refined example of what connoisseurs seek when acquiring a gem that blends beauty and long term value. We present a transparent, independently certified Purple sapphire weighing 1.87 carats, cut into a radiant shape that measures 7.49 x 6.07 x 4.29 mm. The gem displays vivid color intensity that sings with a deep, regal purple under natural light, an excellent polish that creates lively facet reflections, and a clarity graded as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. Importantly for collectors and investors, this stone has no enhancement, and its origin is the storied gem fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source long revered for delivering sapphires with exceptional color and character. The combination of a near two carat weight, a precise radiant cut, high clarity, and untreated Ceylon origin positions this sapphire as a rare find, available to only a small circle of discerning buyers.

Beyond its immediate visual appeal, this sapphire represents a considered investment opportunity within a constrained and discerning market. Untreated, vividly colored sapphires from Sri Lanka are a shrinking resource, as the supply of high quality, natural material has diminished while demand from collectors and bespoke jewelers has increased. Historically, fine sapphires with top color and natural provenance have shown steady appreciation, driven by global demand for rare colored gemstones, the growing market for ethically sourced luxury goods, and the appeal of physical assets that diversify traditional financial portfolios. The absence of enhancement in this gem is crucial, because the market places a premium on natural, untreated stones, and provenance from Ceylon often adds a further layer of scarcity and desirability. For an investor seeking tangible assets that combine aesthetic pleasure with portfolio resilience, this 1.87 carat radiant purple sapphire offers structural advantages that many other assets do not, including portability, durable intrinsic value, and a collector driven market that rewards rarity and documented origin.

When assessing future appreciation, consider the key factors that support upward value potential. Provenance and certification reduce market friction and increase buyer confidence at resale, and this sapphire arrives with independent documentation that attests to its natural state and Sri Lankan origin. A vivid, evenly distributed purple hue is one of the most sought after attributes in colored stones, and the excellent polish and precise radiant cut maximize light performance and face up size, making the gem equally suitable for high end jewelry or as a standalone investment piece. Market trends indicate growing appetite for untreated colored gemstones among private collectors, boutique jewelers, and institutional buyers who favor tangible, hard assets with historical demand patterns. While no investment carries a guaranteed return, owning a naturally occurring, untreated sapphire with strong color, high clarity, and reputable origin historically provides better upside potential and greater liquidity than lower quality or treated stones. For those who value exclusivity, this gem is not a mass market offering, it is a singular piece that can anchor a curated collection and attract serious buyers when the time comes to realize value.

The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as a limited opportunity, and we stand ready to assist with appraisal documentation, bespoke mounting, and secure acquisition services that cater to an elite clientele. We encourage prospective buyers who recognize the distinctive combination of aesthetics and investment merit to contact us for full certification details, professional imagery, and guidance on setting this radiant purple sapphire in a piece that will preserve and potentially enhance its market value. Owning this sapphire places you among a select group of collectors who appreciate not only its immediate beauty, but also its potential as a long lasting asset. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results, yet for those seeking a rare, untreated Ceylon sapphire with vivid color, excellent polish, and robust provenance, this gem offers a compelling balance of rarity, desirability, and long term appeal.
