This one point two nine carat cushion shape pink sapphire presents an elegant balance of size and quality that is meaningful to an educated buyer, its one point two nine carat weight placing it comfortably into a category where presence and rarity begin to command premium value. The dimensions of seven point one six by six point five eight by three point three two millimeters give it a substantial face up area while remaining practical for a variety of ring and pendant settings. Cut as a mixed brilliant, this stone benefits from a pavilion designed to return light efficiently to the eye, and an excellent polish that enhances overall brilliance and scintillation. Clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean face up under normal viewing, and the very light color intensity yields a delicate, refined pink that is classic for Ceylon sapphires. Importantly this sapphire is untreated, with no enhancement, a factor that materially increases desirability and long term value for collectors and connoisseurs.
Origin plays a key role in both aesthetic expectation and market value, and this sapphire comes from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing pastel and pink tones with lively clarity and attractive body color. For buyers seeking a natural, investment worthy gem, the combination of one point two nine carats, cushion shape, mixed brilliant cutting style, and no enhancement is compelling, because larger untreated pink sapphires with clean eye appearance are comparatively rare. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document origin and treatment status to provide full transparency, and we recommend settings that allow the pavilion to breathe and the crown facets to display maximum dispersion, such as a four or six prong open gallery setting that preserves finger comfort while showcasing size. For those focused on quality metrics, this sapphire scores strongly across carat weight impact, optical performance through cut and polish, and integrity through lack of treatment, making it an excellent choice for a solitaire engagement stone or a high quality collector cabochon replacement, with the durable corundum hardness ensuring everyday wearability and long term preservation of value.
