1.77 Ct. Reddish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a gem that answers every wish for color, clarity, and character, this pear shaped reddish pink sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka arrives as the perfect solution, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to offer it to you. We understand that for an engagement ring you want more than a stone, you want a symbol that catches the eye and holds meaning, and for collectors you want a rare example that is both beautiful and telling. This transparent 1.77 carat sapphire measures 10.21 x 6.13 x 3.56 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut has been fashioned to balance fiery brilliance with a delicate pear silhouette. The presentation is one of intense color intensity, combined with an excellent polish that gives the surface a glass like sheen, and a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. The gem has been heat treated, a stable and common enhancement that improves color and clarity, and its Sri Lankan provenance provides the calm and classic pink tones that collectors and romantics alike seek.

What makes this sapphire truly unmistakable are the unique inclusions that give it an inner signature, small, natural features that act like fingerprints and tell the story of the stone. Close inspection reveals very fine needle like silk inclusions and tiny crystallites that are a hallmark of Ceylon origin, and these elements sit discreetly within the body of the gem so that at arm length the stone reads as clean and vivid. The silk traces soften the light transmission, creating a velvety depth that prevents the color from reading flat, while minute crystals and pinpoint reflective inclusions catch the light and produce a subtle scintillation that moves with every gesture. These internal characters are not blemishes in the common sense, they are the spine and soul of the sapphire, they give it individuality and make each viewing an intimate discovery.

The way these inclusions interact with the mixed brilliant cut and the pear silhouette is part of the magic, the faceting maximizes return of light while allowing the internal textures to breathe, and the long, elegant profile of 10.21 x 6.13 mm makes this a standout center for an engagement ring or a refined pendant. The narrower tip and broader rounded base create a flattering elongation on the finger, and the excellent polish ensures that the external reflections remain crisp, framing the internal life rather than obscuring it. Because the clarity is graded as very slightly included at eye level, you receive the best of both worlds, a gem that reads as clean to the eye while preserving the telling inclusion set that collectors value. The intense reddish pink hue is particularly suited to settings in warm metals, and the mixed brilliant cut ensures flash and fire from the crown, while the underlying silk lends a plush, luxurious body color that photographs and presents beautifully in natural light.
