4.06 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent GIT certified Purple 4.06 carat oval shape purple sapphire awaits a place in your collection, a jewel whose very presence announces quiet authority and enduring taste. Held between the fingers, measured to perfection at 9.87 x 7.45 x 6.67 mm, the gem presents an immediate and arresting purple, medium intense and richly saturated without theatricality. The mixed brilliant cut gives the table and crown a scintillating architecture, each facet arranged to coax brilliance from the heart of the stone, while the excellent polish allows light to travel effortlessly through the sapphire and back to the eye. As a member of the Sri Lankan family of gems, this sapphire carries the island tradition of refinement and rarity, a provenance that resonates with collectors and connoisseurs alike. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select such stones not by accident, but by a practiced eye that understands how balance of color, weight, cut and clarity create objects of desire that retain their value and captivate for generations.

Among the technical virtues that define this sapphire are attributes that translate directly into both visual appeal and practical longevity. The clarity grade is eye clean as evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone reads as pure and luminous to the wearer and to admirers, an essential quality when the objective is both beauty and understatement. The mixed brilliant cut unites the fire and sparkle of a brilliant facet pattern with the classical elegance of an oval silhouette, producing a gem that is alive with internal play yet harmoniously shaped for fine settings. The medium intense color intensity positions this sapphire in a rare sweet spot, deep enough to be unmistakably purple, yet bright enough to reflect and refract light across a broad spectrum of purple tones. Heat treated to enhance color and clarity, this commonplace and stable treatment is disclosed and documented, and it allows us to present a stone that is visually elevated while maintaining the natural character and integrity that collectors demand. The excellent polish completes the trio of cut, clarity and color, ensuring that every angle and every movement reveals a new nuance of light.

Consider how this sapphire will become more than an ornament, how it will become an heirloom that speaks to lineage, achievement and personal narrative. Set into a ring, the oval silhouette will sit close to the hand, commanding attention without ostentation, ideal for both daily wear and ceremonial moments. Mounted as the centerpiece of a bespoke pendant, the gem will hang like a medal of taste against silk and cashmere, catching the light at dinner parties and formal events. The inherent durability of corundum, combined with proper setting and care, guarantees that this sapphire will be passed from one generation to the next with its aesthetic integrity intact, each successive wearer adding provenance and story to its catalog of memories. Imagine engraving on a guard band, a discreet family crest or a meaningful date, and seeing this stone attend weddings, anniversaries and quiet mornings alike, evolving from a modern acquisition into a relic of family history. The decision to commission a custom setting from The Natural Sapphire Company elevates the stone further, allowing the craft of master setters to house this gem in a design that will be as timeless as the stone itself.
