8.43 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent violet sapphire weighing 8.43 carats offers a rare combination of size and refinement that makes it stand out from typical market offerings, especially for custom jewelry projects. Its radiant shape, with precise dimensions of 11.23 x 9.56 x 8.40 mm, presents a generous face up area that reads larger on the finger than many round or oval stones of similar weight, making it a superior choice when you want maximum visual impact without moving into larger carat categories. The radiant cut blends brilliant and step facets which produce lively scintillation and internal depth, a balance you do not often find in single cut style sapphires. With medium color intensity the violet tone remains versatile and wearable, softer and more modern than deeply saturated purples, yet richer than washed out pastel stones commonly marketed as bargains. Clarity is graded very slightly included at eye level, which offers clear transparency and eye appeal while providing better value than completely flawless stones, and the excellent polish enhances refraction and sparkle, outperforming many stones with similar color but lesser finishes. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka contributes to a desirable provenance, and the heat treated enhancement is a standard, stable process that optimizes color and clarity, aligning this gem with high quality natural stones rather than synthetics or low grade material.

For custom jewelry designers and clients prioritizing a stunning centerpiece this sapphire is ideal, because its radiant cut and proportions adapt beautifully to a wide range of bespoke settings. The rectangular cushion like silhouette with trimmed corners sits confidently in solitaire rings, allowing clean modern lines, and it also lends itself to halo and three stone designs where the generous table provides a dramatic focal point without overwhelming delicate side details. For bespoke pendants and cocktail rings the stone provides strong presence and balance, the 11.23 x 9.56 mm footprint fitting comfortably on a variety of mounting profiles while the 8.40 mm depth ensures durability for bezel or prong settings. Compared with lower clarity or mass produced stones this piece from The Natural Sapphire Company offers a unique blend of natural origin, professional cutting, and practical size that shortens design compromises and reduces the need for extensive mounting adjustments, making it a superior choice for clients and designers seeking exceptional value and beauty in custom jewelry.
