2.04 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Across centuries, sapphires from Ceylon have been synonymous with royal patronage, sacred meaning, and timeless elegance, and this pink sapphire continues that storied lineage with a presence that is both ancient and enduring. Sourced from the fabled mines of Sri Lanka, historically known as Ceylon, this gem evokes the same sense of wonder that drew traders and monarchs along the old maritime routes. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we honor that legacy by presenting stones that respect the traditions of the past while meeting the exacting standards of modern gemcraft. This is not simply a gem, it is a chapter of history to be worn, admired, and passed down, a connection to the artisans and lands that have produced remarkable sapphires for generations. When you choose a piece like this, you choose more than beauty, you choose continuity, enduring value, and the quiet prestige that comes with ownership of a gem with an important provenance.

This pink sapphire weighs 2.04 carats, and its oval form measures 8.61 by 6.43 by 4.18 millimeters, dimensions that lend the stone a commanding yet balanced presence for a wide range of settings. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the pavilion facets are tailored to maximize return of light, while the crown facets create a lively play of scintillation and color, creating a gem that reads as both lively and refined to the eye. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean and open without the need for magnification to appreciate its purity. The color is described as intense, a vivid pink that maintains saturation across the table and crown, and the finish of the stone is of excellent polish, allowing surfaces to mirror light with crisp, refined flashes. This sapphire has been heat treated, a time honored enhancement that stabilizes and deepens color, and the result is a durable stone with a lively temperament and an allure appropriate for fine jewellery and bespoke commissions.

The size and clarity of this 2.04 carat oval pink sapphire make it an ideal candidate for a statement piece that will command attention without overwhelming its setting. An oval of this proportion sits beautifully on the hand as the focal point of a solitaire ring, where the elongated shape flatters the finger and the mixed brilliant cut gives a dance of light with every movement. For a pendant, the gem becomes a perfect center of gravity, drawing the eye inward to its intense pink core, while in a cluster or halo setting it provides a strong visual anchor that lifts surrounding diamonds or accent stones into a complementary supporting role. Because the stone is essentially transparent and carries a clarity grading of very slightly included at eye level, it communicates confidence and clarity, attributes that translate into everyday luxury and formal presence alike. The excellent polish ensures that the surface interactions with light are clean and immediate, enhancing brilliance and allowing this sapphire to hold its own as an unmistakable emblem of taste.
