2.51 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shaped pink sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a transparent, well-proportioned gem weighing 2.51 carats with dimensions of 10.07 by 6.31 by 4.89 millimeters. The gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a faceted pavilion for depth with a brilliant-cut crown for sparkle, producing lively scintillation and effective light return. Color is described as intense, presenting a vivid, saturated pink that reads consistently across the table and facets. Clarity has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level, indicating that any natural inclusions are minor and do not detract from the gem’s overall face-up appearance. The stone exhibits an excellent polish and a transparent crystal habit, and it has been heat treated, a standard and disclosed enhancement that optimizes hue and clarity. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for fine saturated pink sapphires.

The combination of size and clarity makes this 2.51 carat pear an ideal candidate for a statement piece. At just over ten millimeters in length and a balanced length-to-width ratio of approximately 1.6 to 1, the stone presents a substantial face-up presence without appearing overly elongated, allowing it to anchor both solitaire and halo settings with equal authority. The very slightly included clarity ensures the intense pink color is delivered with minimal visual interruption, so the eye reads an uninterrupted field of color and brilliance from a normal viewing distance. The mixed brilliant cut enhances this effect by maximizing scintillation while preserving depth of color, producing an immediate visual impact when set as a ring center, pendant, or focal earring. Given sapphire’s well-known durability, the gem is suitable for everyday wear with appropriate protective settings, and its excellent polish contributes to a refined, high-quality finish. This sapphire is presented and documented by The Natural Sapphire Company with full disclosure of its heat treatment and Sri Lankan origin, providing a clear and factual basis for its use as a distinctive statement gem.
