0.81 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a particular poetry in stones that have been treasured across civilizations, and this pink sapphire carries that quiet yet unmistakable voice of history. Hailing from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source famed for producing sapphires that have graced crowns and reliquaries for centuries, this gem evokes the timelessness of classical design and the deep human desire to mark important moments with beauty that endures. When you hold this sapphire, supplied with the care and connoisseurship of The Natural Sapphire Company, you are touching a piece of the long arc of gemstone tradition, a legacy of skillful miners, cutters, and jewelers who have passed techniques down through generations. The color of a Ceylon sapphire speaks of geographic story and geological patience, and the intense pink hue of this stone connects it to a lineage of gems sought by connoisseurs who prize color as the central measure of a sapphire s worth.

The most immediate measure of a sapphire s rarity and value is its weight, and this fine example weighs 0.81 carat, a weight that sits at a beautiful intersection between wearable elegance and genuine rarity. At 0.81 carat this round shape sapphire carries a presence larger than many smaller melee stones, yet it retains the proportions that allow it to sit gracefully in a ring, pendant, or bespoke setting. Its dimensions are 5.76 by 5.74 by 3.09 mm, and those measurements reflect careful cutting choices that preserve as much weight as possible while maximizing optical performance. The mixed brilliant cut has been applied to bring forth scintillation and fire, while the excellent polish ensures that light moves through the stone with a lustrous, lively finish. Because larger pockets of intense color in natural sapphires are uncommon, a nearly full carat weight with intense color intensity is especially prized, and it is precisely this balance of weight and hue that elevates this sapphire beyond a mere gem, to an heirloom quality treasure.

Clarity is another pillar of the gem s character, and here the stone is graded very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in practice means the inclusions do little to interrupt the gem s clarity to the naked eye, and they instead become part of the stone s fingerprint. These tiny natural signatures attest to the gem s authenticity and origin, while the excellent polish and masterful mixed brilliant faceting work together to conceal and minimize the visual impact of any internal features. The heat treatment enhancement noted is a longstanding and accepted practice in fine gemology, used to stabilize and enhance color while preserving the stone s integrity, and The Natural Sapphire Company applies rigorous standards in disclosing and verifying such treatments. The gem s transparency and intense pink color, combined with its 0.81 carat weight, make it especially desirable for someone seeking a gemstone that reads as both vivid and substantial, a stone that will translate into pronounced color and presence once set in metal.

For the client who treasures continuity, legacy, and the quiet dignity of classic gems, this pink sapphire offers an exceptional opportunity. Its weight of 0.81 carat lends it rarity in the marketplace where stones of intense pink from Ceylon at this weight seldom appear, and when they do they command attention and respect. Whether set as the central stone in an engagement ring intended to be passed through generations, or mounted in a pendant that will mark anniversaries and milestones, the gem s balance of color, clarity, cut, and weight offers a harmony that feels inevitable and enduring. At The Natural Sapphire Company we respect the stories each stone carries, and we are pleased to present this Ceylon pink sapphire as a piece that connects contemporary design to an ancient tradition of beauty. If you appreciate the marriage of historical resonance and tangible rarity, this 0.81 carat round mixed brilliant pink sapphire will reward those who seek a gem with both presence and provenance.
