Floral Purplish Pink Sapphire Ring 3.11 Ct., Platinum 950

From the rain softened soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, where sapphire-bearing gravels have been turned by hand and by the patient rhythms of the monsoon for centuries, comes a stone that carries the memory of place and time. This C.Dunaigre certified Pink 3.11 carat cushion shape purplish pink sapphire began as a crystalline seed deep in the earth, and through the tectonic patience of millennia it grew, absorbing trace elements that would one day give it that unique purplish pink hue. Miners and local gem sorters in Sri Lanka first recognized its promise, then it received careful appraisal and documentation from C.Dunaigre, so that every facet of its origin and character is known. The gem measures 8.05 by 7.93 by 5.65 millimeters, it is transparent, and it has been given a mixed brilliant cut that balances sparkle and depth, with an eye clean clarity grade evaluated at eye level, intense color saturation, and an excellent polish. Heat treated to bring forward its most compelling color, this sapphire keeps the honest trace of its birthplace, a story of heat and pressure made visible, ready to live a new life on the finger of someone who appreciates provenance as much as beauty.

When you lift the stone into light, you will notice how color and fire converse, how the mixed brilliant cut throws flashes of white light from the pavilion while the cushion outline concentrates color across the table, creating a vivid center composed of purplish pink that shifts with motion. The intense saturation is not thin or washed, it is resolute, and the polish is so fine that the facets read clean and alive, permitting full transparency and allowing the internal landscape to speak without obstruction. At 3.11 carats this sapphire is substantial enough to be the undisputed focus of the design, yet the cushion shape and the mixed brilliant cut keep it graceful and wearable. Heat treatment is a long established practice that in this case has enhanced the natural beauty without compromising the gem's integrity, and the C.Dunaigre certification gives you independent confirmation of the stone's attributes and origin, an assurance that the pink you admire began its life in the storied sapphire fields of Ceylon.

The ring that houses this remarkable sapphire is crafted entirely in platinum 950, a metal chosen for its weight, durability, and neutral coolness that allows the purplish pink to sing.
