1.61 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a gemstone that answers both the heart and the practical questions, this 1.61 carat cushion shape pink sapphire is the kind of find that ends the search, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present it to you. Whether you are planning the perfect engagement ring, selecting a signature piece for everyday wear, or adding a rare and beautiful stone to a collection, this sapphire meets the needs you care about most, color, clarity, and lasting durability. You want a stone that glows with personality, fits a bespoke setting without compromise, and promises to handle the rhythms of daily life, and this sapphire delivers on all fronts, offering a vivid presence on the finger and a refined elegance that will not fade into the background.

This gemstone measures 7.94 by 6.29 by 3.38 mm, and its cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut combine the soft, romantic silhouette of the cushion with the scintillating fire and return of light you expect from a modern, well cut stone. The color intensity is described as intense, a lively pink that reads as both feminine and fashion forward, capable of pairing with warm or cool metal tones. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, meaning you will enjoy a clean, transparent window into vibrant pink, with any natural characteristics so minor they do not distract from beauty or light performance. The polish is excellent, which enhances the smooth facets and crisp reflections, and the stone has been heat treated, a stable enhancement that is widely accepted in the trade when disclosed, and does not compromise the stone for normal wear. The provenance is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a classic and highly regarded origin that adds a story and a heritage to the jewel you will create.

When durability is a priority, it is important to compare hardness on the Mohs scale, because hardness is a direct indicator of scratch resistance. Sapphire sits at 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond at 10, and this is a meaningful advantage for an everyday piece. A sapphire will resist scratches from most materials that you encounter in daily life, making it an excellent choice for an engagement ring, a signet or a pendant that you intend to wear often. Hardness is one measure, and toughness is another, and sapphires from quality sources like Ceylon are known for their strong crystal structure, which makes them less likely to chip under normal wear, compared with many other colored gemstones. Heat treated sapphires are color stabilized in a way that holds up to sunlight and routine cleaning, and with simple care such as avoiding harsh blows and ultrasonic cleaner use on settings with inclusions, this 1.61 carat pink sapphire will remain vibrant for decades.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that a stone is not just an object, it is the centerpiece of a memory, a promise, or a curated collection, and this cushion shape pink sapphire fulfills those ambitions. Its size and proportions make it ideal for a classic solitaire, a halo design that amplifies its intense color, or a bespoke setting that showcases the mixed brilliant cut and the excellent polish. We can advise on prong styles that balance security with light entry, or a bezel for a more modern, protective look, and we will ensure that the setting complements the stone without hiding its beautiful Ceylon color. If you seek a rare, wearable, and emotionally resonant gem, this sapphire is a rare combination of vivid hue, clean clarity, and practical resilience, and it stands ready to become the answer to your search.
