2.29 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Long before hands shaped and polished the world into jewelry, this pink sapphire began its life deep within the earth, born from a slow and patient geology that only time could perfect. In the fiery crucible where tectonic plates pressed and folded the crust, aluminum rich minerals met intense heat and pressure, allowing corundum crystals to form over millions of years. A trace of chromium slipped into the crystal lattice as the sapphire grew, and that whisper of chemical impurity gave rise to the vivid pink hue that now captivates the eye. Buried in metamorphic rock and later released by erosion into riverbeds, this transparent gem completed a long migration from mountain to stream, where it rested until skilled miners in Ceylon, modern day Sri Lanka, recognized its promise and brought it to light.

When The Natural Sapphire Company first received the rough stone, our gemologists saw not just color and clarity, but a story that could be told through careful cutting and polishing. The rough was studied and plotted, then shaped into a pear silhouette to celebrate the gem s natural lines and maximize its lively color. The result is a GIA certified Pink 2.29 carat pear shape pink sapphire, dimensions 10.00 x 6.94 x 4.70 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation with depth. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is eye clean, a testament to the crystal s purity and the cutter s restraint in preserving weight while removing imperfections. The polish is excellent, so each facet sits like a mirror, catching and returning light to amplify the vivid color intensity. Enhancement no enhancement confirms that its hue and clarity are wholly natural, a direct gift from Sri Lanka s storied soils.

Every facet of this gem carries cultural memory and human craft, linking ancient Ceylonese traditions to contemporary jewelry design. Sri Lanka has been celebrated for sapphires for centuries, traded across oceans and treasured by kings, poets, and artisans who understood that a fine sapphire speaks of place as much as beauty. This pink sapphire continues that lineage, its pear shape evoking teardrops of sunrise and petals at first light, ideal for a solitaire ring that draws the gaze, or for a bespoke setting that pairs its vivid pink with warm gold or cool platinum. GIA certification accompanies the stone as an objective account of its qualities, confirming origin and characteristics so that the wearer receives both a jewel and a verified story of authenticity.
