2.58 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Madagascar

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present a stone that will arrest attention and invite admiration, a 2.58 carat cushion shape sapphire in a rare and magnetic pinkish purple. Measuring 8.99 x 6.97 x 4.06 mm, this gem has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that harmonizes the deep, velvety charm of a classic cushion silhouette with the scintillating return of modern faceting. Its transparency and intense color intensity make it a jewel that reads both intimate and grand, a center of gravity for any high jewelry composition. The clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in practice means the gem appears eye clean and luminous, with tiny natural characteristics that only deepen its authenticity and provenance. An excellent polish magnifies every flash of light, every pink and violet facet, and because this sapphire is unenhanced and of Madagascar origin, wearing it is to claim a truly natural beauty, untouched by treatment, and therefore eminently collectible.

This sapphire presents an emotional richness that transcends mere description. The pinkish purple tone carries both warmth and mystery, a chromatic voice that speaks to connoisseurs who prize nuance and depth. Under light it offers a delicious interplay of saturated pink and cool violet, with brilliant scintillation from the mixed brilliant cut that creates lively, rhythmic flashes as the gem moves. The excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and a silky surface that enhances both brilliance and hand feel. The fact that the stone is not treated elevates it into a different category of desirability. Origin from Madagascar adds an extra layer of narrative and rarity, as these deposits have produced some of the most sought after natural sapphires in recent decades. For the refined collector, the subtle natural inclusions affirm authenticity and the unenhanced state preserves intrinsic value, making this sapphire not only a jewel to wear but a legacy to pass on.

Imagine this cushion pinkish purple sapphire set as the heart of a custom ring, pendant, or pair of earrings, its 2.58 carat presence commanding proportion and balance. For a classical and utterly luminous presentation, surround the center with a halo of fine round brilliant diamonds set in platinum, the cool white metal and icy diamonds creating a vivid contrast that sharpens the pink and violet notes of the sapphire. A delicate pavé band of small brilliant diamonds will extend that halo into a seamless field of light, making the center appear even larger and more brilliant. For a warmer, romantic effect, mount the stone in 18 karat rose gold, a metal that amplifies the pink component and bathes the gem in a soft, flattering glow. Pairing the center with pear shaped pink spinels or soft blush sapphires on either side will compose a graduated color story, while tapered baguette diamonds will lend architectural elegance and a modern silhouette. For collectors who favor richer contrast, tiny deep green emerald accents will provide a sumptuous complementary hue, green against pinkish purple creating a regal and fashion forward pairing. Alternatively, a three stone design with two smaller teal blue sapphires will accentuate the purple depth through complementary cool notes, producing an arresting spectral dialogue.

In the hands of our designers at The Natural Sapphire Company this sapphire becomes an object of desire and distinction, crafted to reflect the wearer’s refined taste and achievement. Whether conceived as an engagement ring that announces individuality and discernment, a pendant that rests near the heart, or a set of chandelier earrings that frame the face with complex color, the stone’s mixed brilliant facets and eye level clarity will ensure it performs brilliantly in real life. The custom possibilities are endless, from minimalist solitaire settings that celebrate the gem’s pure form, to richly detailed antique inspired designs that use milgrain and filigree to echo the cushion shape. Each metal choice and companion gemstone will tune the personality of the piece, creating either a luminous, contemporary statement or an intimate, heirloom quality jewel. Owning this Madagascar pinkish purple sapphire is not merely possession, it is a declaration of cultivated taste and appreciation for nature’s finest artistry.
