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

From the earliest trade routes to the cabinets of modern collectors, sapphires have carried a language of endurance, prestige, and quiet power, and this exquisite brownish pink oval from Ceylon is no exception. GRS certified, weighing 1.83 carats, and measuring 9.01 by 7.29 by 3.31 millimeters, this stone embodies the kind of beauty that has been sought for centuries. The mixed brilliant cut brings together precise faceting and classical proportions, allowing the gem to breathe with a lively play of light, while the excellent polish ensures every facet reflects with clarity. The vivid color intensity is a rare and captivating balance between warmth and vibrancy, an elegant reddish pink that changes subtly with the direction of light, and this nuance is one of the enduring qualities that will continue to captivate the senses over decades. When you choose a gem of certified provenance and natural purity, you are choosing a piece of history that will resonate across generations.

The story of Ceylon sapphires is woven into the island itself, where miners and lapidaries have worked for centuries to reveal the inner fire of corundum. This particular stone carries that tradition in its DNA, untouched by enhancement, a natural treasure that speaks to authenticity. Its clarity grade is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a characteristic that only serves to confirm its natural origin and to add a whisper of character beneath the surface. In practical terms, the sapphire’s durability and resistance to daily wear mean that its polished facets and vivid tones will remain stable through a lifetime of use. Set with intention, this gem will patina alongside its wearer, never losing its capacity to draw the eye, and becoming more intimately known with each passing year.

As specialists at The Natural Sapphire Company, we understand that a truly classic gem needs more than momentary flash, it requires a narrative of longevity and refinement. The oval shape, timeless in its elegance, flatters a broad range of settings, from the restrained single stone ring to more elaborate vintage inspired mounts. The mixed brilliant cut enhances fire and scintillation, offering lively sparkle under evening lights and a warm glow in daylight, making the gem equally at home in formal and everyday contexts. Because this sapphire is free from enhancement, it retains a natural stability and a purity that collectors and connoisseurs prize, and this authenticity makes it an ideal candidate for an heirloom piece, one that will be passed on with pride and with stories attached.
