2.57 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Tanzania

This 2.57 carat oval pink sapphire from Tanzania stands apart from most options on the market because it combines a desirable size with a pure, transparent appearance and no enhancement, making it a true natural choice for custom jewelry. With dimensions of 7.99 x 6.86 x 5.36 mm the gem carries presence without overwhelming most settings, and the mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return while retaining a soft, elegant pink tone. The clarity grade of slightly included evaluated at eye level is common for natural sapphires, and in this stone the minor inclusions serve to verify origin and authenticity rather than distract from beauty. The medium color intensity gives the stone a versatile hue that will harmonize with a wide range of metal choices and accent stones, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet reflections that play across the oval table with lively performance. At The Natural Sapphire Company we value stones that need no treatment to look their best, and this sapphire is a fine example of what unenhanced, well cut material can offer.

When compared to other pink sapphires that have undergone heat treatment or diffusion to intensify tone, this Tanzanian stone represents a cleaner provenance and typically stronger resale value. Many stones of similar color are either too light and watery or too heavily treated to be considered truly natural in appearance. This sapphire strikes a balance, with medium intensity that reads as distinctly pink under varied lighting conditions without tipping into artificial saturation. The mixed brilliant cut is superior to basic step or shallow cuts in its ability to hide minor natural inclusions while delivering a lively face up presentation, and the excellent polish elevates overall brilliance above many comparable parcels on the market. Buyers who demand transparency of origin and treatment will find that an unenhanced Tanzanian sapphire, with its natural inclusions and stable color, often outperforms synthetically treated alternatives in long term desirability and perceived integrity.

For custom jewelry this oval shape is particularly advantageous because it combines classical formality with contemporary versatility, and the size of 7.99 x 6.86 x 5.36 mm fits extremely well in a variety of bespoke designs. The elongated oval silhouette lends itself to vertical or horizontal orientations, allowing designers to create visual length on a ring finger or to craft dramatic, off center pendant layouts. As a 2.57 carat center stone it is substantial enough to be the focal point of a solitaire ring, yet compact enough to be paired with side stones or a halo without becoming top heavy. The mixed brilliant cut facets will interact with micro pavé or channel set diamonds in a halo to produce complementary sparkle, while the medium color intensity will not be overwhelmed by white metal settings. For earrings the balanced proportions mean matched pairs can be fashioned with minimal material loss, and as a solitaire pendant the gem will hang with an elegant presence that suits both everyday wear and special occasions. Working with The Natural Sapphire Company ensures that your designer can plan settings with precision because the dimensions and proportions are reliably documented.

Value conscious customers will appreciate that natural, unenhanced gems of this quality and size are rarer than heat treated counterparts, and that rarity translates to long term value retention in custom pieces. Compared with similarly colored stones in the marketplace that may show stronger color but rely on laboratory enhancement, this Tanzanian pink sapphire derives its appeal from authenticity, consistent medium intensity, and an excellent polish that makes it immediately attractive to the eye. For custom commissions our clients often prefer such stones because the minor inclusions provide unique character and a narrative of origin, while the oval mixed brilliant cut gives designers the freedom to use both modern and classic mounting techniques. At The Natural Sapphire Company we can assist with design suggestions that play to this stone strengths, recommending prong counts, bezel options, and halo profiles that protect the gem while showcasing its color and light performance. If you are planning a custom engagement ring, a signature pendant, or a one of a kind pair of earrings, this 2.57 carat, 7.99 x 6.86 x 5.36 mm Tanzanian pink sapphire presents a rare opportunity to work with an unenhanced, well proportioned, beautifully polished natural gem that will translate into an enduring and distinctive finished piece.
