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

From the mineral rich soils of Ceylon, Sri Lanka these two round purplish pink sapphires began their long passage from rough to radiance. Harvested from artisanal alluvial workings where generations of miners read the rivers for signs of corundum, each crystal carries a unique fingerprint of time and pressure. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document that journey, and these stones speak to the storied character of their origin. We offer a matched pair weighing 1.19 carats and 1.33 carats, with dimensions measuring 6.53 by 6.50 by 3.11 millimeters and 6.50 by 6.50 by 3.50 millimeters. Expert cutters shaped them into a mixed brilliant cut, a decision made to honor both color depth and scintillation, and an excellent polish reveals their lively fire. Evaluated at eye level these sapphires have a clarity grade of very slightly included, inclusions that affirm natural formation rather than alteration. They were heat treated to stabilize and intensify their purplish pink color, a standard enhancement that preserves the gem while amplifying the vivid hue that makes Ceylon sapphires so sought after.

Envision these sapphires transformed into a custom pair of earrings where craftsmanship meets story, a wearable conversation between earth and artisan. The slight difference in weight and depth adds character, allowing a jeweler to play with balance in either stud or drop designs so each piece feels intentionally unique rather than mechanically identical. The intense color intensity and mixed brilliant cut make them ideal for open prong settings that invite light in, or for delicate bezels that emphasize the rounded silhouette, and either choice will deliver a vibrant, face flattering glow. When set in warm rose gold their purplish pink tones deepen, when set in white gold or platinum their sparkle becomes crisp and modern. Our design process at The Natural Sapphire Company focuses on pairing each gem with a setting that honors its provenance and optical personality, ensuring your custom earrings feel personal and enduring. If you seek a one of a kind pair that carries the history of Ceylon, the hand of master cutters, and the finish of skilled polishers, these sapphires offer a rare beginning for a treasured heirloom.
