1.23 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Owning a gemstone is an expression of taste, and this transparent 1.23 carat cushion shape pink sapphire is an emblem of discernment, crafted to the highest standards and offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. Measuring 6.15 x 5.94 x 3.94 mm, the stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style that marries the scintillation of a brilliant cut with the soft, romantic silhouette of a cushion, resulting in a living interplay of light that draws the eye and refuses to let it go. Its clarity is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which in practice reads as a pristine appearance to the naked eye, allowing the gem’s delicate, light color intensity to float like a whisper of rose across the facets. The excellent polish and untouched, no enhancement state mean that every facet, every flash, is the gem itself, as nature and masterful cutting intended, and the Ceylon Sri Lanka origin lends a storied provenance that collectors and connoisseurs immediately recognize.

When compared to more common gemstones, this pink sapphire stands apart for both its chroma and its refined brilliance. Unlike amethyst or morganite, which rely primarily on soft pastel color, this sapphire combines genuine corundum durability with a lively internal reflection that dances with the vigor of a finely cut step and brilliant hybrid. Against ordinary blue sapphires the appeal is its rarer hue and an elegance that reads as couture rather than common. Versus diamond, the sapphire offers a different kind of fire, a color driven luminosity rather than sheer scintillation, and its mixed brilliant cut has been optimized to maximize both sparkle and color return, creating lively flashes and a plush depth that make the pink seem to glow from within. For the collector who prizes authenticity, beauty, and longevity, this 1.23 carat Ceylon cushion is not merely a gem, it is an achievement, a refined statement piece that elevates any setting and confers a private kind of prestige to its wearer.
