Introducing an exquisite gemstone that represents the pinnacle of natural beauty and understated elegance. This 0.99 carat cushion-shaped pink sapphire is a testament to nature’s ability to create something truly astonishing. Hailing from Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, this gemstone has a pedigree of exceptional quality and a history rooted in a location renowned for producing some of the world’s most desirable sapphires. With dimensions of 6.23 x 5.41 x 3.07 mm, this sapphire holds a significant presence despite its modest carat weight, captivating any onlooker with its substantial surface area and rich hue.

The brilliance of this pink sapphire is accentuated by its mixed brilliant cut. This particular cut is specifically designed to maximize the sapphire's natural ability to reflect light, creating a dazzling display of color and sparkle that rivals and often surpasses more common gemstones like diamonds or rubies. The cushion shape demands a high level of expertise from the gem cutter, intricately balancing the facets to reflect light at each internal angle, thereby maximizing its vivid color intensity. The gem’s color is described as vivid, placing it in the upper echelons of sapphires. Vivid pinkness offers a pure, vibrant, and intense coloration, a rarity even among pink sapphires. This intensity makes the gemstone instantly noticeable, a perfect choice for those seeking elegance with a unique twist.

The clarity grade of this sapphire is noted as very slightly included, as evaluated at eye level. This means that any inclusions or internal characteristics are minor and cannot be easily detected without magnification. Such clarity is incredibly desirable in sapphires, as it ensures that nothing detracts from the gem's breathtaking aesthetic and light performance. It’s these tiny inclusions that often add character to gems, providing a one-of-a-kind allure that synthetic or flawless gems lack. Our sapphire also boasts an excellent polish, indicating that the surface has been painstakingly polished to a mirror-like finish by our skilled craftsmen. This polish ensures that the maximum amount of light passes through the gem, offering an outstanding clarity and brilliance that transforms light into an array of colors.

When comparing this pink sapphire to more common gemstones, its unique origin and cut set it apart significantly. While stones like amethyst and topaz may offer color, their value seldom matches the standing of a Ceylon sapphire of this caliber. The island of Sri Lanka is globally recognized for consistently yielding high-quality sapphires with colors ranging from soft pastels to bold hues that are rarely seen elsewhere. The geographical conditions and specific mineral composition found in Sri Lanka contribute to the distinct lively color and superior quality. Moreover, sapphires, in general, are among the most durable gemstones, second only to diamonds, meaning that its charm will remain undiminished, even when worn daily in rings or pendants. From a value perspective, such qualities ensure that this 0.99 carat pink sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a distinguished choice, offering enduring sophistication and unmatched worth.
