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

One beautiful transparent 2.46 carat emerald cut purplish pink sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka, measuring 9.61 by 6.81 by 3.82 millimeters, offers a rare balance of delicate color and excellent clarity, clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level, light color intensity, faceted cutting style, and an excellent polish, no enhancement. Unlike many sapphires on the market that are routinely heat treated to intensify hue, this Ceylon piece arrives to you in its natural state, which makes it inherently more desirable for collectors and for buyers who value untreated gemstones. The emerald cut step facets create a luminous internal mirror that emphasizes the stone transparency and the soft purplish pink tone, producing long, elegant flashes of light rather than the scattered scintillation of a brilliant cut, this quality of light play enhances the stone in low and bright lighting, and makes the color read consistently across the table. The dimensions and the 2.46 carat weight provide a generous, wearable face up size, making it equally comfortable as an intimate center for an everyday ring or as the centerpiece for a dramatic cocktail or statement piece.

This sapphire adapts beautifully to a wide variety of custom jewelry settings, and The Natural Sapphire Company can guide you to the ideal mount. For engagement rings, the emerald cut is especially well suited to classic four prong solitaires that show off the stone profile, to bezel settings that protect the girdle for active wearers, and to accented halo designs that add perceived size and vintage charm while allowing the soft pink tone to harmonize with small white diamonds. For a modern look, consider an east west cathedral setting that turns the elongated shape into a contemporary focal point, or a bezel set pendant that frames the stone cleanly for everyday elegance. The stone also translates perfectly into matched, bespoke pieces such as a single pendant paired with diamond side stones, a slender link bracelet with channel set sapphires and diamonds, or a custom three stone ring where two smaller side sapphires or baguette diamonds will balance the emerald cut center. Metal choices further influence the personality of the stone, rose gold will warm the purplish pink into a romantic glow, yellow gold will create a strong vintage contrast, and white gold or platinum will sharpen the gemstone presence and emphasize clarity and polish. Our bench can also explore low profile settings, tension mounts, split shanks, and textured or engraved designs that echo the clean lines of the emerald cut.
