2.60 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This listing describes one transparent pink sapphire weighing 2.60 carats, presented in a cushion shape with precise proportions and a balanced profile. The gem measures 8.64 x 6.03 x 5.38 millimeters and has been expertly fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to optimize both brilliance and depth. The color displays a medium intense pink hue that is evenly distributed throughout the stone, and the surface finish is graded as excellent polish, providing crisp facet junctions and lively light return. This sapphire has been heat treated, a commonly accepted enhancement in the trade to improve color and clarity, and it originates from Madagascar, a source known for producing attractive and well colored sapphires.

The clarity of this gem is graded as very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating that minor internal characteristics are present but do not detract from overall appearance when viewed without magnification. Those inclusions contribute to the natural identity of the stone and confirm that the material is an authentic corundum rather than a synthetic or heavily treated imitation. The mixed brilliant cut combines facets that enhance scintillation with pavilion angles that promote internal reflection, resulting in a balance between sparkle and color saturation that complements the medium intense tone. The dimensions of 8.64 x 6.03 x 5.38 millimeters produce a pleasing face up size for a 2.60 carat sapphire, with a depth that supports durable mounting options.

At 2.60 carats this pink sapphire occupies a premium position in terms of weight and presence, offering substantial visual impact without compromising wearability. For colored gemstones, carat weight is a primary factor in perceived value, and a 2.60 carat pink sapphire of transparent clarity and medium intense color represents a notable example of premium quality. The weight allows the stone to serve as a confident center gem in engagement rings, pendants, or bespoke settings where a meaningful size is desired. The cushion outline is versatile for both classic and contemporary designs, and the measured dimensions make setting tolerances predictable for experienced jewelers seeking proportional balance between girdle thickness and bezel or prong profiles.

This sapphire was sourced from Madagascar and supplied through The Natural Sapphire Company, where provenance and treatment disclosure are integral to our gemstone descriptions.
