0.97 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional 0.97 carat cushion shaped pink sapphire is a rare offering from Ceylon, and its combination of size and color places it in a class of its own. Measuring 6.47 by 4.52 by 3.32 millimeters, this transparent gem sits comfortably near the one carat mark where fine Sri Lankan pink sapphires of even medium light color intensity become increasingly scarce. Cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize fire and depth, and finished with an excellent polish, the stone displays a lively, feminine pink that reads clearer and more vivid than many smaller or more heavily included stones on the market. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, this sapphire offers clarity that allows light to travel freely through the pavilion and crown, producing scintillation and a glassy, jewel like satiny sheen. Heat treatment, a stable and commonly accepted enhancement, has been used to gently optimize tone and saturation while preserving natural origin and character, and the Ceylon provenance adds an element of storied rarity that discerning collectors prize.

Owning this pink sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an opportunity to join an exclusive group of connoisseurs who seek gems that are both uncommon and eminently wearable. In a world where most pink sapphires are either much smaller, more heavily included, or washed into paler tones, this piece stands apart as a near one carat example with a balanced medium light hue and exceptional transparency. Its cushion outline lends timeless elegance to bespoke rings and pendant designs, while the mixed brilliant facets create a lively presence even in modest settings, making it perfect for those who desire a subtle statement that will not be seen on every hand. We source and present such gems sparingly, and because pieces of this quality and size are rarely available, we encourage private viewing and bespoke mounting consultations to ensure the setting enhances both the color and the inherent rarity. For collectors and romantics who seek an heirloom with provenance, clarity, and a delicate Ceylon pink that is not common in this size, this sapphire is a distinguished choice, and The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to assist you in securing and setting this unique treasure.
