2.52 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the misted highlands of Ceylon Sri Lanka where the earth yields its most whispered treasures, this pink sapphire began its long journey. Harvested from alluvial veins that have produced sapphires coveted by kings and collectors for centuries, the rough was found by experienced hands that understand how to read the subtle language of light within stone. From that first discovery, the gem was handled with reverence and care, passed through local sorters who assessed hue and potential, then entrusted to the discerning team at The Natural Sapphire Company. Our relationship with the miners and with the communities that steward these lands is built on respect, transparency, and a commitment to preserve the character and provenance of every treasure. This particular parcel was catalogued as Other certified, a designation that accompanies the documentation confirming its origin and natural state, and thus it arrived at our cutting studio with the promise of becoming something exceptional.

The transformation from rough into an object of desire is an art as much as it is a science, and this sapphire was sculpted for brilliance. The cutter embraced the stone in a cushion shape, carefully balancing the soft rounded silhouette that flatters the hand with the confident precision of the mixed brilliant cut. The result is a gem that measures 8.73 x 6.59 x 4.91 mm and weighs 2.52 carats, proportions chosen to maximize its presence while retaining elegant wearability. Under the loupe its clarity reads very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, inclusions so subtle that they become part of the sapphire character rather than distractions. The color is a medium intense pink that captivates without shouting, an expression of pink that lives between delicate blush and pronounced glamour, a tone that glows when it meets light and draws the eye with a soft magnetic pull. The polish was executed to an excellent standard, each facet completed to yield lively reflections and a smooth, mirror like finish. Importantly, this sapphire has undergone no enhancement, a rare quality that speaks to its intrinsic beauty and to our dedication to offering stones that are deserving of connoisseurship.

Seeing this stone set is to understand how it completes an idea. Placed upon the finger it commands attention without demanding it, it elevates the simplest setting into a signature. The mixed brilliant facets catch and scatter light in a way that feels alive, a flicker of pink fire that traces the hand like a private light. Its cushion form offers a timeless silhouette that translates beautifully into a variety of designs, from a modern solitaire that honors clean lines, to a vintage inspired halo that enhances its romantic accent. Designers and clients alike appreciate that the gem is unheated and naturally colored, a distinction that transforms ownership into a quiet affirmation of taste. For collectors who value rarity, an unenhanced pink sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka presents a narrative of authenticity that is difficult to replicate. The stone is presented with certification that substantiates its origin and natural state, giving the new owner the assurance that accompanies great acquisitions.
