1.69 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 1.69 carat radiant shape pink sapphire, measuring 6.99 x 6.70 x 4.01 mm, arrives ready to become the centerpiece of a lifetime of memories. This stone displays a brilliant radiant cut that balances the clean lines of a classic silhouette with the scintillating facets of a modern gem, resulting in lively return of light and an elegant face up presentation. The clarity is described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means that under normal viewing the gem reads as pure and luminous, while minor internal characteristics attest to its natural origin. Color intensity is classified as intense, a rare and desirable saturation for pink sapphires that lends the gem the kind of presence that draws the eye without overwhelming the hand. The polish is excellent, enhancing the sapphire's mirror like surfaces and the crispness of each facet junction. Enhancement by heat treatment has been applied, a time honored and widely accepted method used to develop the finest color and clarity in Ceylon sapphires. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance that carries centuries of gem heritage and a reputation for producing some of the most beautifully hued sapphires in the world. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this stone arrives with full disclosure of its characteristics and a reverence for the traditions from which it was born.

Sapphires from Ceylon have been treasured since antiquity, sought by monarchs and pilgrims alike for their perceived protection and their association with wisdom and royal favor. Pink sapphire specifically has a storied place in the language of gemstones, signaling affection, tenderness, and enduring devotion. When set as the heart of an engagement ring, a pink sapphire combines romantic sentiment with the durable character for which corundum is famed, ensuring that the meaning of the ring endures as much as its sparkle. The radiant shape that we have chosen for this stone is itself a bridge between eras, echoing the strength and symmetry of classic step cuts while embracing the brilliance of faceted facades that were refined through centuries of lapidary innovation. The result is a gem that feels timeless in design, yet thoroughly relevant to modern tastes, appealing to those who prize lineage, legacy, and a quiet confidence that honors the past while promising the future.

For an engagement ring, the attributes of this sapphire make it an exceptional and inspired choice. At 1.69 carats the gem presents a generous presence on the finger without sacrificing everyday wearability, and the nearly seven millimeter dimensions provide a dignified scale that photographs beautifully and feels substantial to the touch. The intense pink hue makes a definitive statement, offering a romantic alternative to the more familiar colorless diamond while retaining the sophistication expected of an engagement gem. The clarity described as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level ensures that the field of view remains clean and luminous, a quality that will look wonderful in solitaire settings, three stone motifs, or surrounded by a halo of small accent diamonds for additional fire. The excellent polish and expertly executed radiant cut maximize brilliance and scintillation, allowing the stone to sparkle with movement and to reflect every nuance of light. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance the stone s natural beauty, a customary practice that stabilizes and intensifies color, and Ceylon origins bring with them a legacy of artisanal mining and time honored cutting traditions.
