2.07 Ct. Pinkish Brown Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.07 carat oval pinkish brown sapphire is a quietly dramatic example of nature and craftsmanship coming together, a stone that carries with it the long and storied tradition of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where sapphires of distinction have been prized for centuries. Its oval silhouette measures 8.33 by 6.42 by 4.12 mm, a balanced proportion that sits comfortably as a center stone or as the focal point of a refined pendant. The medium intense color is imbued with a warm, antique sensibility, a hue that evokes aged rosewood and sunset earth, and the transparency of the gem allows its inner life to be read at a glance. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, the clarity affirms the gem is both natural and honest, while an excellent polish speaks to the care taken by the cutter to honor the crystal. There has been no enhancement, the color and character are wholly native to the stone, and that untouched integrity is exactly the kind of rarity cherished by collectors and those who value legacy pieces.

The mixed brilliant cut faceting is where history and geometry meet to enchant the eye, each facet arranged to catch and return light in a way that amplifies the sapphire’s natural fire and depth. The pavilion and crown work in concert, the geometric faceting creating a lively interplay of brilliance and subtle flashes, so that movement and shifting light reveal new tones and reflections. This faceting strategy maximizes light play, balancing scintillation with the deeper glow that comes from the gem’s medium intense body color, making it ideal for classic settings that emphasize timeless elegance. For a piece that will be handed down through generations, this sapphire reads as both ancient and modern, a relic of Sri Lankan mines shaped into a jewel for contemporary wear. At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem not merely as a purchase, but as the beginning of an heirloom, a stone whose geometry and origin promise enduring beauty and a story that will be told for years to come.
