2.02 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a rare opportunity to own a museum quality pink sapphire that reads like a love letter to provenance and purity. This transparent GIA certified pink sapphire weighs 2.02 carat, and its emerald cut measures 7.64 x 6.63 x 3.70 mm, a dimension that gives it an imposing presence on the finger while remaining elegantly wearable. The gem is cut with a mixed brilliant pavilion that enhances its scintillation while the stepped facets of the emerald cut offer the sophisticated clarity and architectural grace collectors prize. Clarity is described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a level of purity that allows the intense color intensity to read like a single tone of saturated rose without visual distraction. The polish is excellent, and most significantly the sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, a quality that is exceedingly scarce in pink sapphires from Ceylon Sri Lanka where heat treatment is common. The combination of Ceylon origin, GIA certification, untreated status, and this particular cut and clarity renders this stone not just an adornment but an heirloom, a piece for the few who seek something both rare and utterly natural.

When you compare this gem to the legendary jewels of history, its value becomes clearer through analogy rather than equivalence. Think of the Graff Pink and the Pink Star, diamonds whose fame rests on the intensity and purity of their pink hue, and imagine that same chromatic command in a sapphire that also carries the living legacy of Sri Lankan gemmaking. Ceylon has long been the source of royal sapphires and unique pink stones that have decorated crowns and collections for centuries, and this sapphire channels that lineage in a compact and modern form. The emerald cut evokes the clear, architectural look of the most coveted table cut sapphires sold to connoisseurs, revealing the stone’s internal world with the dignity of a courtroom jewel, while the mixed brilliant detail restores the fire and sparkle associated with the most scintillating historical gems. Unlike many famous gems whose stories include alteration or enhancement, this piece arrives with a GIA report and the pure history of no enhancement, which amplifies its appeal to collectors who prize natural state above all. Its intense color intensity is rare among pink sapphires at this weight and cut, echoing the color saturation of celebrated padparadscha sapphires but with a more vivid rose that is both feminine and commanding, suitable for someone who wants to own a color that is immediately recognizable and unrepeatable.

The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone as a limited offering, an invitation to join an exclusive circle of owners of truly exceptional natural sapphires.

Our design team can advise on proportions that preserve the integrity of the emerald cut and the mixed brilliant faceting while ensuring the wearer enjoys both comfort and maximum visual impact.
