1.67 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.67 carat oval pink sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company measures 7.85 x 5.88 x 4.02 mm and is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut. The stone is transparent, shows a medium light color intensity and has a clarity grade of very slightly included as evaluated at eye level. It carries an excellent polish, and it is unenhanced, with origin recorded as Ceylon, Sri Lanka. These definitive attributes describe a natural, well-proportioned gem whose technical qualities have been preserved and presented without treatment.

The stone’s apparent flawlessness to the unaided eye is a central factor in the way it reveals itself from every angle. With very slight inclusions that do not interrupt light passage at face-up viewing distances, the pavilion and crown facets work together to maximize light return and internal reflection. The mixed brilliant cut combines the broad, clean flashes of step-style facets with the scintillating points of brilliant-style facets, producing a balanced interplay of brilliance and sparkle across the oval surface. Excellent polish on all facet planes enhances this effect, creating crisp facet junctions and smooth surfaces that allow light to enter and exit with minimal diffusion. The result is a soft, lively pink that reads consistently in different lighting conditions, where the medium light intensity allows the gem to retain a delicate but present saturation rather than appearing washed out or overly dark.

Beyond optical performance, the gem’s dimensions and oval outline offer versatile design options while maintaining an elegant face-up presence. The 7.85 x 5.88 mm proportions present a generous visual size for the carat weight, and the moderate depth of 4.02 mm supports a pleasing profile when set. Because the sapphire is natural and untreated, it is particularly well suited to clients who prioritize gemological integrity and long-term stability. Its balanced hue pairs well with a range of metals and complementary stones, and its combination of eye-clean clarity, refined cut, and superior polish ensures a polished appearance in solitaire, halo, or three-stone settings. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as an example of careful sourcing and cutting that allow its near-eye-level flawlessness to enhance beauty from every viewpoint.
