2.57 Ct. Reddish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.57 carat radiant shaped sapphire measures 7.28 by 7.20 by 5.11 mm, and presents a vivid reddish pink tone with intense color intensity and an excellent polish. Its radiant cut maximizes color return and brilliance by combining step facets with brilliant pavilion facets, resulting in lively internal reflection and clean face up appearance. Clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone retains excellent transparency and sparkle while displaying natural inclusions that are not intrusive to the unaided eye. The piece has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that refines tone and reduces absorption while preserving the integrity of the crystal. Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a classic source known for producing sapphires with a luminous, velvety saturation and an appealing clarity that collectors and connoisseurs associate with provenance and quality. At 2.57 carats this sapphire occupies a sweet spot where color and size combine to create presence without sacrificing wearability.

When comparing this natural Ceylon sapphire to lab grown alternatives, several important distinctions make natural material attractive to the educated buyer.

Natural inclusions act as a fingerprint confirming growth in the earth, and origin from Ceylon provides additional assurance of classic color characteristics and market recognition. Heat treatment is disclosed and standard in the trade, it enhances appearance without diminishing the stone s status as a natural gem.
