1.98 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional, transparent, pinkish purple sapphire from Ceylon weighs 1.98 carats, a weight that places it in a rarefied class of gemstones prized by collectors and connoisseurs. At nearly two carats this oval gemstone has a physical presence and visual impact that smaller stones simply cannot match, and that palpable sense of mass contributes directly to both its market value and its desirability as an heirloom quality piece. The dimensions of 8.53 x 5.94 x 4.99 mm deliver an ideal balance of length and depth for an elegant oval, and the mixed brilliant faceting has been executed to maximize scintillation and dispersion while preserving the soft, romantic tone of its light color intensity. The Natural Sapphire Company is delighted to present this stone as an exclusive offering, unheated, unaided by enhancements, and finished with an excellent polish that allows light to travel through the pavilion and crown without obstruction, revealing a delicate play of pink and violet that changes with movement.

Beyond its alluring hue and refined cut, the 1.98 carat weight of this sapphire is the defining factor that elevates its rarity and investment potential. The clarity is assessed as slightly included at eye level, a characteristic that affirms the natural origin and authenticity of the gemstone while remaining subtle enough to preserve transparency and lively brilliance. Because the stone is untreated, the combination of color, clarity, and weight becomes significantly more uncommon, and collectors understand that unenhanced sapphires from Ceylon are particularly sought after for their natural beauty and long term value. In the pricing structure of fine sapphires, price per carat increases steeply as stones approach and exceed key weight thresholds, and a 1.98 carat oval, transparent example with mixed brilliant geometry occupies a position of premium scarcity. For designers and private clients, the exact measurements and depth information provided will make it straightforward to commission a bespoke setting that displays the gem to its fullest advantage, whether the vision is a refined solitaire, an intimate halo, or a custom signature ring.
