2.60 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.60 carat cushion shape pink sapphire measures 8.54 x 7.71 x 4.03 mm, and it is cut with a mixed brilliant cut that balances faceted brilliance with a classic cushion outline. The stone carries a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which indicates that minor inclusions are present but do not materially detract from the gem when viewed without magnification. Color is described as intense in saturation, giving this sapphire a vivid and appealing pink that reads strongly in the face up presentation. The excellent polish enhances surface luster and edge definition, while the heat treated enhancement is a customary, stable and permanent treatment used to optimize the stone's color and clarity. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source traditionally prized for producing pink sapphires with lively color and attractive crystal characteristics, and provenance like this contributes to the gem's desirability among knowledgeable buyers.

The mixed brilliant cut is a key factor in the exceptional cut and brilliance that make this sapphire a standout centerpiece for any collection or bespoke jewelry commission. The pavilion and crown facet arrangement in a mixed brilliant maximizes light return and scintillation, producing lively flashes and a balanced pattern of sparkle that complements the intense pink hue. The cushion shape offers a warm, vintage inspired silhouette that sits elegantly in a ring or pendant, and the combination of weight, proportions and excellent polish means the gem presents larger than its carat weight might imply to the unaided eye. For the educated buyer, the value proposition is clear, the convergence of a clean face up clarity, intense color saturation, superior cut quality, Sri Lankan origin and professional finishing defines a gem that is both beautiful and investment worthy.
