Description
Ceylon Natural Purple Sapphire Jewellery Design Set from Ratnapura
This elegant Ceylon sapphire set brings together a 1.00 carat unheated purple sapphire center stone and a round sapphire pair, creating a balanced layout for jewellery design. The center stone measures 6.39 × 5.2 × 3.7 mm and has been fashioned in a cushion step cut, allowing the purple body color to appear with a calm, refined character. Depending on the light and viewing angle, purple sapphire can show slightly different tones to different eyes, giving the stone a natural and personal visual feeling.
The center sapphire carries a “Rebecca purple” appearance, with VS clarity and a soft but noticeable presence. Its cushion shape makes it suitable for ring, pendant, or custom jewellery designs where the main stone needs to feel elegant without being overly large. The step-style cutting gives the gemstone a clean face-up structure, while preserving a calm depth that works well with purple sapphire.
The two round accent sapphires weigh 0.44 carats total and measure approximately 3.6 mm each. They are standard heated, VVS clarity stones, finished in a round flower cut with a Portuguese-style pavilion. Their cutting style adds sparkle and detail beside the center stone, making the full set suitable for three-stone jewellery layouts, side-stone ring designs, or a refined pendant concept.
All stones are from Ratnapura village around mining in Sri Lanka, a historic gem-bearing region known as part of Ceylon’s long gemstone heritage. Sri Lanka has supplied natural corundum, including sapphire in many colors, to the global gemstone market for generations. This set reflects that heritage through both the unheated center stone and the carefully matched accent pair.
For jewellery designers and gemstone buyers, this combination is meaningful because it is already arranged with design intention. The purple cushion center gives character, while the two round sapphires support the layout with brightness and symmetry. It is a suitable choice for a custom ring, pendant, or one-of-a-kind jewellery piece where color, origin, and proportion all matter.
