2.53 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a singular gemstone to anchor an engagement ring, or a rare pink sapphire to complete a collector worthy set, you want a stone that answers both the heart and the practical checklists of quality. This gorgeous, transparent pink sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company does exactly that, offering a vivid color and remarkable presence at 2.53 carats, which is large enough to satisfy a desire for impact, yet perfectly poised for elegant, wearable design. If your brief is a jewel that reads romantic and modern at once, or a distinctive center stone that can be dressed up or down, this pear shape pink sapphire neatly resolves the search. The combination of a classic pear silhouette, a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes fire and sparkle, and an excellent polish gives you a stone that speaks of craftsmanship, while the clarity grade of very slightly included evaluated at eye level reassures you that this is a clean, eye pleasing gem suitable for close inspection and everyday wear.

Looking at the gem itself, the 2.53 carat pear measures 11.26 by 7.49 by 4.07 millimeters, a proportion that is beautifully balanced for many settings. The vivid color intensity lifts the tone into the realm of collectible, yet it remains versatile enough to harmonize with a variety of metal choices and accent stones. The mixed brilliant cut provides scintillation across both the crown and pavilion, so the sapphire flashes lively pink fire whether set flat in a pendant or raised to catch light in a ring. Most importantly for discerning buyers, this sapphire is natural with no enhancement, and it comes from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing sapphires with vibrant, pure hues and strong saturation. The excellent polish means the surfaces are crisp and smooth, enhancing brilliance and making the stone easier to set securely without hiding polish issues under the mounting.

For customization, this pear shaped pink sapphire is a dream because of its elegant teardrop outline and balanced size, which lend themselves to an extraordinary range of settings. If you are imagining an engagement ring, consider a classic solitaire to showcase the intense pink, a delicate halo of diamonds to amplify light and perceived size, or a three stone design with tapered baguettes for a timeless, architectural feel. For a contemporary twist, an east west mounting or a modern bezel can create a striking asymmetry while protecting the pointed tip, and a low profile, closed back setting will give a refined look for daily wear. As a pendant, the stone becomes a radiant focal point whether set in a simple prong bail or an ornate scalloped surround with accent stones. Matching earrings are also an elegant choice, especially when paired with smaller pink sapphires or white diamonds to balance color and sparkle. Our design team at The Natural Sapphire Company can also advise on metal choices, suggesting platinum or 18 karat white gold when you want to enhance brightness, or 18 karat rose gold to warm the pink hue, and yellow gold for a bold, vintage inspired contrast.

Beyond aesthetics, consider practical aspects that support long term satisfaction with your finished jewel, and this sapphire performs on those counts as well. Sapphires are known for durability, making them suitable for everyday pieces, and the thickness and dimensions of this stone allow jewelers to set it securely while protecting the culet and apex. Because this stone is unheated and untreated, it carries enduring value for collectors and those who prioritize natural origin, and provenance from Ceylon, Sri Lanka adds a layer of romance and collectability. At The Natural Sapphire Company we offer bespoke design consultations to help you translate your vision into a finished piece, including advice on prong placement to safeguard the pointed end of the pear, suggestions for accent stones that will harmonize rather than compete, and finishes that accentuate either vintage character or minimalist modernity. We also provide care guidance so your custom ring, pendant, or earrings retain their brilliance, and we stand behind our work with attentive service to ensure the finished jewelry becomes the solution you were seeking, the perfect expression of your taste and intent.
