1.59 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 1.59 carat asscher octagon pink sapphire measures 6.42 by 5.48 by 4.31 mm, and is faceted in a classic asscher cut that emphasizes clean step facets and refined symmetry. The stone displays intense color intensity with a vivid pink hue that is evenly distributed across the table and pavilion, and the polish has been evaluated as excellent, providing crisp facet junctions and strong light return. Clarity is graded eye clean at normal viewing distance, which means there are no inclusions visible to the unaided eye, and importantly this sapphire has received no enhancement, a characteristic that substantially increases its desirability among connoisseurs. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source renowned for producing high quality sapphires with lively color and excellent crystal quality, and this provenance adds a layer of historical and geological interest for an educated buyer.

From a gemological perspective this sapphire offers multiple attributes that give it lasting value. The asscher cut, with its octagonal outline and large step facets, creates a sophisticated interplay of light and depth that appeals to collectors and those seeking a refined aesthetic. The combination of intense natural color, eye clean clarity, and no enhancement places this stone in a premium category, because untreated sapphires from established origins often command higher prices and retain market desirability over time. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale and superb polish, this sapphire is resilient for everyday wear, reducing the likelihood of surface damage through generations. The precise dimensions and 1.59 carat weight make it versatile for a variety of settings, from a protective bezel for active wearers to an elegant solitaire or halo design that highlights the asscher geometry.

When chosen as a centerpiece in a well made setting, this sapphire becomes an ideal heirloom that can be transmitted through generations.
