2.56 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.56 carat marquise shape pink sapphire presents a refined combination of proportion and optical clarity, suitable for collectors seeking a versatile and elegant gemstone. The stone measures 11.11 x 6.27 x 5.03 mm and is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut designed to balance scintillation with a clear table window. The cut and proportions accentuate light return along the length of the marquise with lively facet contrasts that enhance perceived size and presence. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the stone reads clean to the unaided eye with minor inclusions that do not detract from overall transparency or sparkle. Color intensity is light, delivering a delicate and evenly distributed pink tone that remains true under a range of lighting conditions. The surface finish is of excellent polish, resulting in crisp facet junctions and strong reflective planes that contribute to sustained brilliance. Enhancement is heat treated, a standard and stable treatment for sapphires, applied to improve color uniformity and visual appeal. The origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source noted for its historically prized and characterful sapphires, and this provenance adds context and desirability for discerning assemblies.

As a component of a high end gemstone collection, this marquise pink sapphire offers both aesthetic subtlety and collecting merit. Its combination of weight just above two and a half carats, elongated marquise silhouette, and commercial clarity grade make it well suited for a variety of bespoke settings including solitaire rings, halo arrangements where the light pink tone can contrast with diamonds, and bespoke jewelry that emphasizes elegant form.
