2.09 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Soft as a twilight confession, this 2.09 carat purplish pink sapphire glows with the hush of a secret garden, each step facet of its emerald cut catching light like poetry in motion. Measuring 8.28 by 5.73 by 4.33 millimeters, the stone offers an elegant table and a crystalline depth that reveals intense color with every tilt. Originating from Ceylon in Sri Lanka, its hue carries the island sun and monsoon breeze in equal measure, a romantic bloom of pink laced with a whisper of purple. Evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, and finished with an excellent polish, the gem retains a transparent clarity that allows its heart to be seen, warmed by a careful heat treatment that enhances its tone while honoring the integrity of the stone. The emerald cut frames the color like a window to a private sky, precise and refined, inviting a slow and intimate kind of admiration.

Beyond its beauty, this sapphire is built for the rhythms of real life, a durable companion for daily wear. As a member of the corundum family with a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale, it resists scratches and stands steadfast against the small abrasions of everyday moments, making it an ideal choice for engagement rings and sentimental pieces meant to be worn and loved without worry. The stable heat treatment is standard and enduring, and the excellent polish ensures light will dance across its facets for years to come. For added protection and a look that flatters its lines, consider a bezel or secure four prong setting, which complements the emerald cut and guards the girdle from impact. Care is simple, a gentle wash in warm soapy water and a soft brush will restore its sparkle, and occasional professional inspection will keep the mount secure. At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish provenance and craftsmanship, and we will gladly help you imagine this Ceylon treasure set into a piece that tells your story, a talisman of devotion that shines as steadfastly as the promise it represents.
