2.52 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Imagine the moment you lift a jewel to the light and feel your heart lift with it, the way a single color can make you remember an entire day. This is that moment with a rare and breathtaking 2.52 carat pink sapphire, an asscher octagon shape of unusual presence, measuring 7.36 x 7.20 x 4.57 mm. Hand selected and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem is a study in both precision and poetry, with an asscher cut that creates a crystalline hall of mirrors and an intense pink color that seems to glow from within. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, so the stone reads clean and transparent to the eye, and the polish is excellent, giving every facet a buttonlike brilliance. Treated by heat, as is common and fully disclosed, this Ceylon Sri Lanka origin sapphire carries with it the storied heritage of the island that has produced some of the world s most desirable sapphires, while offering something more rare than usual in both size and color.

The rarity of this stone is what makes it unforgettable. Pink sapphires of true intense saturation are more often found in smaller sizes, and those that reach beyond two carats most commonly present in softer tones or in more rounded shapes. This asscher octagon is different, it preserves incredible color saturation across a generous face up area that measures over seven millimeters, making it stand out from the many pink sapphires that are either pale or modest in diameter. The asscher cut itself is uncommon for sapphire, because cutting a step cut into corundum requires a masterful balance of proportions to keep the color even and the brilliance alive. Here the cutter has achieved that balance, carving crisp step facets that catch and return light in broad flashes, so that the intense pink color reads as pure emotional color rather than mere pigment. Against other pink sapphire options, this stone is a rare conjunction of scale and hue, the kind of find that jewelers treasure and customers remember.

When you place this sapphire into a setting, the effect is like anchoring a memory to your hand. Imagine an engagement ring that speaks of joy and devotion with a voice that is both modern and timeless, or a pendant that becomes the signature of a lifetime of celebration. The combination of 2.52 carats with intense color and eye level very slightly included clarity means the gem feels substantial, luminous, and refined. Sapphires from Ceylon are prized for their clarity and lively color, and this stone is a beautiful example, showing the island s capacity to produce gems with vivid personality. Because the stone has been heat treated to enhance its color, you have the reassurance of a stable and well understood enhancement that elevates the natural beauty without compromising integrity. The excellent polish amplifies that effect, ensuring that every turn of the hand releases a new flash of pink light that will draw a smile from anyone who sees it.
