1.36 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape pink sapphire weighs 1.36 carats and measures 9.01 x 5.99 x 3.67 millimeters, presenting as a transparent, faceted gemstone with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish. The proportions of this stone are especially well suited to jewelry design, with a length to width ratio that creates an elegant silhouette while preserving strong optical performance. The color intensity is described as light, showing a delicate pink hue that reads as feminine and sophisticated under a variety of lighting conditions. Clarity is graded as included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates visible internal characteristics that are consistent with natural, untreated sapphires from classic gem localities. This example is wholly natural with no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing sapphires prized by connoisseurs for their clarity and appealing hues.

For an educated buyer, several technical attributes of this sapphire underscore its appeal and value. The mixed brilliant cut optimizes the balance between brilliance and color, with a faceting scheme that combines step elements and brilliant facets to maximize return of light while preserving color saturation. The excellent polish contributes to superior light performance and makes the stone simple to set without additional rework, preserving weight and finish. The included clarity grade does not diminish the gem in many custom applications, because the inclusions often attest to natural formation and origin, and can add to the gemological story of the stone. The fact that the stone is untreated is particularly important to buyers who value provenance and natural rarity, because no enhancement means the color and clarity are inherent, rather than the result of heat or chemical intervention. Ceylon Sri Lanka has a long history of producing pink sapphires with clear, bright tones and an appealing mix of saturation and lightness, making this specimen both collectible and versatile.

This sapphire is especially ideal for custom jewelry projects because its size, shape, and cut provide a flexible design palette. As a pear shaped gem of approximately nine by six millimeters, it sits comfortably as a central stone in engagement rings, where the tapered point can be oriented toward the finger to create a flattering elongation effect, or reversed for a more contemporary look. It also works beautifully as a pendant focal point, offering a graceful drop that catches light with every movement, and as a drop earring paired with a matching partner or accent diamonds for added brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut enhances scintillation in settings with both open and closed backs, and the excellent polish reduces the need for post purchase adjustments by a jeweler. The durability of sapphire, second only to diamond on the Mohs scale, makes this pink sapphire an excellent choice for pieces intended for everyday wear, such as an engagement ring or a signature pendant.
