10.07 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There are gems that are found, and then there are gems that arrive marked by a quiet form of destiny. This is one of those rare stones. It is a C.Dunaigre certified Pink sapphire of 10.07 carats, shaped into a graceful oval, with dimensions of 14.60 x 11.66 x 6.35 mm. It carries a mixed brilliant cut that allows light to dance from its heart, and it is evaluated as eye clean at normal viewing distance, promising clarity without distraction. The color reads as medium light pink, a hue that is simultaneously delicate and unmistakable, with an excellent polish that completes the stone with a lustrous glass like finish. Enhancement is heat treated, a traditional and stable process that lifts the innate charm of Sri Lankan sapphires without detracting from their natural origin. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a land renowned for centuries for producing pink sapphires of pedigree and personality. When a gem such as this arrives at The Natural Sapphire Company, it does so with provenance, precision, and an air of exclusivity that sets it apart from ordinary offerings.

The journey of this sapphire began deep in the ancient soils of Ceylon, where rivers have worked over millennia and where pockets of crystalline treasure rest beneath layers of alluvial silt. An experienced team of artisanal miners, working with local knowledge and a careful respect for the land, uncovered the rough that would become this luminous pink stone. From the first moment of discovery, a process of selection took place, as skilled eyes separated the exceptional from the ordinary. The rough was transported with care to a trusted workshop in Sri Lanka, where experienced cutters and polishers considered every angle. At each stage there was a choice to be made between weight, color, and brilliance. For this stone, the decision was made to favor a silhouette that would reveal the purest expression of its pink and maximize internal light return. Along the way The Natural Sapphire Company maintained oversight and ensured that every ethical step met our standards. The result is a gem whose story can be traced from riverbed to display case, a provenance that will be recorded and shared with the person who will own it.

Cutting and finishing are where technical mastery meets artistic discretion, and for this sapphire the cutter selected a mixed brilliant approach to achieve balance between scintillation and face up color. The oval silhouette measures a commanding 14.60 x 11.66 mm, a scale that reads as bold and elegant on the hand, and the depths present at 6.35 mm give the stone an attractive three dimensional presence. The mixed brilliant cut creates a lively flash that suits the medium light color intensity, allowing the pink to present as fresh and luminous rather than heavy or diluted. Clarity is an exceptional asset, with the stone evaluated as eye clean when viewed at normal distance, an attribute that elevates the gem beyond many comparable stones in this size class. The excellent polish speaks to the last meticulous stage of workmanship, where each facet was refined to mirror smoothness and to open the stone to bright reflections. Heat treatment was applied judiciously to enhance the intrinsic tone, and the stone was then submitted for independent verification, gaining its C.Dunaigre certification to confirm weight, dimensions, and origin. This certificate is a mark that assures collectors and connoisseurs that the gem they acquire is authentic, documented, and rare.
