Sapphire Description
Presenting a delicate 1.11 carat pale purple Ceylon sapphire, unheated and expertly cut in a classic oval shape, offering a soft yet distinctive expression of natural colour. This gemstone displays an elegant, light lavender hue with excellent clarity and a gentle, refined brilliance, making it an exquisite choice for a sapphire ring, pendant, or bespoke fine jewellery design.
The oval cut enhances the stone’s subtle colour and light performance, with its elongated silhouette and well-proportioned facets creating a graceful flow of sparkle. The result is a gemstone that feels airy, sophisticated, and beautifully understated while still carrying a unique presence.
Being completely unheated, this sapphire retains its natural purity without any enhancement, making it especially rare in lighter-toned sapphires where natural colour balance is highly prized. This untouched quality ensures authenticity and individuality in every facet of the stone.
Carefully selected for its clarity, tone, and natural charm, this Ceylon sapphire is a refined centrepiece for timeless, elegant jewellery designs.
Imaging Accuracy
Imaging Accuracy
We understand that it can be hard to assess loose sapphires colours from photos alone. All our images and videos are taken by a specialist gemstone imaging company who produce images to 99% colour accuracy with ISO standard natural daylight in high magnification. This ensures you will get the best view for colour, clarity and any visible inclusions.
Whilst this is the most accurate representation of the stones colours, sapphire colours vary depending on the lighting conditions.
Certification

All our sapphires come certified, guaranteeing authentic natural sapphires from Sri Lanka. This will come in the form of a certificate on delivery of the sapphire. Certain stones may include extra certification by GIA or SSEF Switzerland, this will be highlighted in the description. Please do contact us if you wish to discuss any certifications.
Clarity Rating
Clarity Rating
While some sapphires can appear "eye-clean" (meaning no inclusions are visible to the naked eye), most natural sapphires do contain inclusions, which are considered natural characteristics and not necessarily flaws.
Our sapphires are graded in the below format:
VVS (Very Very Slightly Included):These sapphires have very, very small inclusions that are difficult to see even under 10x magnification.
VS (Very Slightly Included):These sapphires have minor inclusions that are clearly visible under 10x magnification, but they might be difficult to see with the naked eye.
SI (Slightly Included):These sapphires have noticeable inclusions that are easy to observe under 10x magnification, and some may be visible to the naked eye.
I (Included):These sapphires have obvious inclusions that are easily visible under 10x magnification and may affect transparency and brilliance.
