1.75 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Few gemstones carry with them the weight of centuries the way a Ceylon sapphire does. From ancient trade routes that linked the islands of the Indian Ocean to royal treasuries across continents, sapphires have long been cherished for their durability, their depth of color, and the sense of continuity they bring to a life well lived. This particular pink sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, is no exception. It arrives to you as the latest chapter in an unbroken story of earth and artisan, a gem formed by time and tectonics, and then given new life by the careful hands of cutters who respect tradition as much as precision. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that legacy with every stone we select, ensuring that each piece is a true expression of history, not a mere commodity.

The specific qualities of this pink sapphire explain why it sings with such quiet authority. It weighs 1.75 carat and is fashioned into a radiant shape, a cut that blends the classic appeal of a rectangular outline with the modern brilliance that faceting can impart. Its measurements are 7.90 by 6.28 by 3.82 mm, proportions that balance presence with wearability. The gem is transparent, with a clarity grade described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone retains a clean, open face that invites light to travel and dance within. Its color intensity is intense, a hue that reads as refined and feminine without softness, and its polish is excellent, giving each facet the crisp edges necessary for that steady, enduring sparkle. Importantly this sapphire has received no enhancement, a rare and valued attribute among colored stones, and its origin is certified as Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source with a storied reputation for producing gems of remarkable character.

To own a stone like this is to own a link to tradition. The radiant cut itself is a contemporary interpretation of ancient ideas about proportion and light, yet it settles into timeless settings with the ease of a well known melody. Imagine this sapphire set into a ring destined to be passed from hand to hand, or into a pendant that becomes the centerpiece of an elegant legacy. The combination of its untreated nature, intense color, and excellent polish makes it suitable for designs that honor classical motifs while remaining entirely relevant to modern tastes. Skilled setters and designers can play with the balance of metal and stone, using warm rose gold to enhance the pink tones, or cool white platinum to give the hue a fresher, more modern contrast. At The Natural Sapphire Company we work with master jewelers who understand how to make such a gem both the visual and emotional heart of a creation that will be treasured for generations.

Beyond its visual appeal, this sapphire represents an investment in beauty and craftsmanship. Untreated gems of Ceylon origin carry a provenance that collectors and connoisseurs value because it speaks to natural rarity rather than laboratory alteration. The absence of enhancement preserves the gem in its authentic geological state, and that authenticity often translates into enduring desirability. When you acquire a stone like this you are paying for more than carat weight and color, you are investing in the story the gem tells and the hands that brought it to life. The excellent polish and the thoughtful radiant cut are the signatures of expert workmanship, and those details are what elevate a fine sapphire from a mere possession to a legacy item. In markets where provenance and condition are increasingly prized, a well chosen, untreated Ceylon pink sapphire can hold its allure and its value across decades.
