2.51 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent pink sapphire, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, is a 2.51 carat cushion shape measuring 8.51 by 6.95 by 4.47 millimeters, with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish. The mixed brilliant cut combines a faceted brilliant-style crown with a pavilion that optimizes depth and light return, producing lively scintillation while preserving the stone’s weight and shape. Clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, which means that any internal characteristics are minute and do not affect the gem’s transparency or visual appeal to the naked eye. The color intensity is vivid, a highly desirable saturation for pink sapphires, and this specimen originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a classical source known for gems that display bright, pure hues and pleasing tone. The sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves color and clarity without compromising durability, and the excellent polish ensures the facets deliver crisp reflections and maximum brilliance.

From a practical and aesthetic perspective this pink sapphire is remarkably versatile, equally at home in a refined evening setting or in a modern everyday design. Its 2.51 carat weight and cushion outline provide a substantial presence on the finger without overwhelming, while the vivid pink hue translates beautifully across metals, pairing with warm 18 karat yellow gold for a vintage inspired look, with rose gold for tonal harmony, or with platinum and white gold for contemporary contrast. Sapphires rank nine on the Mohs scale, offering outstanding hardness and resistance to abrasion, which makes this stone suitable for daily wear as an engagement stone or as a statement cocktail ring. For buyers who appreciate technical details, the combination of Ceylon origin, mixed brilliant cutting style, eye level VVS clarity, vivid color, and professional heat treatment represents a high quality balance of beauty, performance, and market acceptability, and our team can advise on settings that maximize light return and protect the pavilion for long term wear.
