0.40 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a soft confession in the shape of a stone, a whisper of blush born from the heart of Ceylon, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we are honored to present a 0.40 carat oval pink sapphire that feels like a promise held in the palm. This transparent gem measures 4.79 by 4.30 by 2.24 millimeters, and the mixed brilliant cut has been carefully executed to marry fire and satin like a sunrise made visible. Its light color intensity radiates a delicate pink that seems to gather memories and reflect them back as gentle light. The polish on this sapphire is excellent, every facet sheened like the surface of a calm lake, and because it has received no enhancement, what you see is the pure, unaltered poetry of nature. Originating from the storied soils of Sri Lanka, this Ceylon pink sapphire carries with it the tranquil warmth and historic romance of gemstones that have been cherished for centuries.

Look closely and you will find the tiny fingerprints of time, the inclusions that make this stone utterly singular and quietly alive. Graded very slightly included when viewed at eye level, these features present as minute pinpoints and faint silk like veils, delicate as a breath, that catch and bend light in ways that no laboratory treatment can copy. Rather than flaws to be hidden, these natural identifiers are the gem equivalent of a handwritten note, signatures of formation that confirm its authenticity and provenance. Inclusions in sapphires from Ceylon are often the subtle traces of the earths slow artistry, and here they lend depth and character, a gentle texture against the smooth canvas of pink. Because this sapphire is untreated, those inclusions remain as nature left them, tiny constellations beneath the surface that will be yours to discover and adore through loupe and daylight alike.

The mixed brilliant cut gives this oval a modern heart, its crown facets scattering light while the pavilion invites depth, so the gem glows both from within and across its surface. Its modest dimensions make it ideal for a ring that speaks softly rather than shouts, perfect as a centre stone for an engagement piece or as an intimate accent in a bespoke creation. Imagine this pink heart embraced by a halo of White Opal, the opals gentle, milky flashes echoing the sapphires blush and creating a duet of tone and texture that is at once nostalgic and new. White Opal harbors an ethereal glow that complements the sapphire, and together they form a harmony of color the way a poet pairs words to melody. The interplay of excellent polish and thoughtful cutting means that every turn of the wrist offers a new verse, a flicker, an answering gleam that transforms ordinary moments into keepsake memories.

If you seek a gemstone with a story that will continue to unfold each day, this Ceylon pink sapphire is poised to become that living heirloom, lovingly chosen and responsibly sourced by The Natural Sapphire Company. Its natural state, its very slight inclusions, and its precise dimensions make it not only a beautiful object, but a faithful witness to a future you intend to build. We invite you to imagine it set close to the skin, catching light in quiet rooms and bright skies, an emblem of tenderness and enduring intention.
