0.78 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are moments when a single color can become a memory, when a gentle blush seems to hold an entire sunset, and this cushion shaped pink sapphire captures that tender hush. At 0.78 carat, this gem sits like a whispered promise, measuring 5.41 by 4.67 by 3.45 mm, transparent and resonant with a delicate, light color intensity that feels like the first soft bloom of spring. Born of Ceylon, Sri Lanka, its origins echo old world romance, and here at The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate that lineage. The stone’s cushion silhouette combines vintage grace with a modern heart, a shape that invites the eye to linger, and to dream. When you hold it, the color shifts like a secret told in sunlight, the pink tracing coral and rose and the faintest blush of dawn, a hue that wears intimacy like a second skin.

The mixed brilliant cut is a poem of facets, each plane tuned to catch and return light in ripples of warmth. Cut to encourage fire and scintillation, the gem offers lively flashes that dance as the wearer moves, a choreography of brightness that feels both lively and refined. Its clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a gentle reminder that this is a natural treasure and not a manufactured perfection. These tiny, internal signatures are part of the sapphire’s biography, evidence of formation deep within the earth, and they add a softness to the stone’s character rather than detract. The polish is excellent, creating mirror like surfaces that amplify the mixed brilliant cut and allow the pink to glow with a lantern like depth. To enhance that intrinsic radiance, the stone has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that deepens and harmonizes color, while preserving the sapphire’s enduring nature.

Beyond its immediate beauty, this gem promises to continue to captivate through seasons and years, because sapphires are made of corundum, a mineral born to endure. Their strength, second only to diamond, makes them admirably suited to daily wear, to the small adventures and the grand celebrations of a life shared. The light color intensity will carry memory like a perfume, calming and familiar, while the mixed brilliant arrangement of facets will keep reflecting new stories as light and life change around it. The very slightly included clarity gives the stone a soul, a note of authenticity that grows more meaningful with time, as every glance reveals more of its depth and every day of wear polishes the story it tells. Kept with simple, loving care, and set in a design that protects while it adorns, this pink sapphire will age like a cherished letter, softening and becoming more precious the more it is held.

Imagine this cushion pink sapphire set in a slender ring of warm gold that accentuates its rosy glow, or embraced by cool platinum that makes the pink sing like a ribbon of light. Picture it at the center of an engagement, or placed close to the heart as a token of a private vow, a stone that translates emotion into a visible, living thing. From The Natural Sapphire Company this gem arrives as both jewel and story, an invitation to begin a new chapter or to honor a promise already kept. It is a jewel that asks only to be seen, to be loved, and to be worn, and in return it will reflect years of laughter, quiet mornings, and the small, lantern bright joys of an ordinary life made beloved.
