2.18 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A singular expression of refined taste, this transparent 2.18 carat pink sapphire commands attention with a presence that is at once elegant and decisive. Cut into a classic emerald shape, this gem measures 8.19 by 6.61 by 4.48 millimeters, dimensions that offer a pleasing balance between table surface and depth, allowing the soft pink to breathe and glow like a private dawn. Its medium intense color intensity delivers a hue that reads romantic without ever becoming saccharine, a pink that is vivid enough to be unmistakable, yet restrained enough to pair flawlessly with platinum, white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. Origin Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries with it the legacy of one of the world’s most celebrated source regions, and its transparent nature invites continual discovery with every turn, as internal reflections trace the geometry of the cut. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem is more than a stone, it is a declaration, a subtle proclamation that the wearer cherishes beauty that has been carefully chosen, rather than merely acquired.

The emerald cut pavilion and step facets of this stone create a luminous architecture, emphasizing purity of tone and clarity, and offering a serene kind of brilliance that favors depth and sophistication over overt sparkle. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, ensuring that the gem reads clean and luminous in ordinary wear while retaining the unique fingerprint that authenticates natural origin. An excellent polish imparts a mirror like finish to the facets, allowing light to glide across the surface and return to the eye in measured, elegant flashes. Enhancement, heat treated, to beautifully stabilize and enrich the pink, this is a standard and widely accepted treatment that brings out the best character of Ceylon pink sapphires, enhancing saturation and ensuring enduring color stability. In hand, the gem feels like a thoughtfully composed poem, its facets arranging themselves in quiet symmetry, an object of contemplation as much as of admiration.

For an engagement ring, this pink sapphire is an inspired alternative to the ordinary, a choice that signals a devotion to individuality and a sophisticated sense of style. At 2.18 carats, the size is substantial yet eminently wearable, large enough to anchor a design and small enough to sit comfortably on the hand for everyday life, a perfect balance for a living symbol intended to be worn each day. Sapphires score a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, which makes them exceptionally suited to the enduring demands of an engagement ring, resisting scratches and maintaining brilliance through the years. Consider a refined solitaire setting to celebrate the pure geometry of the emerald cut, or a delicate halo of brilliant diamonds to give the pink center a luminous frame, enhancing its perceived size and adding scintillation around the step facets. For a vintage inspired look, a bezel or filigree mount will emphasize the gem’s architectural lines while offering additional protection, and for the modern minimalist, a simple low profile setting will allow the stone to sit close to the hand, appearing both contemporary and timeless.
