1.42 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Pink Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

These two transparent pink sapphires begin their story deep within the ancient soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where rains and time converge to create gemstones that have been treasured for generations. Hand recovered from alluvial deposits by experienced miners, these stones were chosen for their clarity and vivacious pink tone, and they arrived at our workshops as rough crystals with the promise of becoming something intimate and wearable. At 0.67 carats and 0.75 carats, each gem has been carefully cut into a round shape with a mixed brilliant cut, a choice that balances scintillation and face up brilliance. The dimensions 5.04 x 5.03 x 3.15 mm and 5.02 x 5.05 x 3.64 mm reflect the cutter's respect for the natural crystal form, and the excellent polish reveals their medium color intensity without masking the unique internal features that make them genuine. Evaluated at eye level, they carry a clarity grade of very slightly included, telling of their natural origin and the small inclusions that catch the light in a way that only true stones can. These sapphires have been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement practiced by many skilled lapidaries in Sri Lanka to bring forward the pink hues that elevate their charm.

When you imagine these sapphires set as a custom pair of earrings, it is easy to see how their journey enriches the final piece, connecting wearer and gem through place and process. Their matched round forms and complementary weights make them ideal for stud settings that celebrate symmetry, or for slightly more elaborate designs that pair each stone with a delicate halo to amplify sparkle. The mixed brilliant cut offers lively fire and versatile reflections, which work beautifully with warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold or the modern contrast of platinum. At The Natural Sapphire Company we encourage designs that honor both the stone and its story, suggesting settings that allow the light to flow through the pavilion and reveal the excellent polish and medium color intensity. These sapphires are small enough to be comfortable for everyday wear, and distinct enough to make a personal statement. Commissioning a custom pair of earrings with these Ceylon pink sapphires becomes a continuation of their narrative, a crafted moment that transforms natural history into an heirloom you can wear and pass on.
