2.21 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pink sapphire began its life in the timeless alluvial fields of Ceylon, where rivers and ancient geology conspire to concentrate corundum crystals in gravels that have been sought after for centuries. Local miners working with practiced hands and generations of knowledge recovered the rough material, and from the very start this stone showed a generosity of color and clarity that marked it as special. It carries the quiet imprint of its origin, the soft rhythms of monsoon seasons, and the cultural reverence Sri Lankans have long held for sapphires, stones once traded along old spice routes and set into the crowns of kings. Unenhanced and wholly natural, this 2.21 carat oval pink sapphire is a direct link to that landscape and those traditions, a gem that has not been heat treated or altered, preserving the honest story written into its crystal lattice.

When the rough arrived at the cutting studio, master cutters considered how best to coax brilliance and color from the crystal, and they chose a mixed brilliant cut to balance scintillation with saturation. The result is an oval of 8.71 by 6.04 by 4.59 millimeters, a measured size that reads substantial on the finger without overwhelming a classic jewelry design. With a clarity grade of slightly included at eye level, the sapphire is transparent and lively, its minor internal characteristics adding character rather than distraction. Excellent polish enhances the gem face and facets, permitting light to dance through the intense pink color, producing flashes that animate both hands and heart. The mixed brilliant facet arrangement was selected deliberately to maximize fire while maintaining the deep tonal purity that collectors prize.

As a statement gem this sapphire has all the ingredients a discerning client seeks, size, color, and a clarity that allows the stone to speak boldly in solitaire or to anchor a halo composition that amplifies its presence. An oval of this dimension flatters the hand, elongating the finger when set vertically, and the 2.21 carat weight occupies the sweet spot between wearable everyday elegance and unmistakable impact. The intense color intensity ensures visibility from a distance, while the transparent nature lets the gem play dynamically with natural and artificial light. Slightly included clarity tells a positive story in the language of fine gems, it attests to natural formation and authenticity, especially important given this stone bears no enhancement, preserving its Ceylon provenance as an integral part of its value and appeal.
