2.63 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Comparing the allure and craftsmanship of a gemstone such as a richly colored pink sapphire to its historical counterparts inevitably brings up notable names like the Black Prince’s Ruby or the Hope Diamond. While the latter two sparkle with stories that span centuries, this exquisite pink sapphire from Ceylon, sourced by The Natural Sapphire Company, stands on its own as an emblem of rare beauty and fine craftsmanship accessible to today’s discerning gem connoisseur.

This balance echoes the precision that has been cherished in legendary gemstones throughout history, marrying form and function with sublime results.

Delving deeper into the gemstone’s unique qualities, enthusiasts will recognize the deliberate choice of a mixed brilliant cut, a technique that involves both brilliance-enhancing and clarity-revealing facets.

Our pink sapphire boasts a clarity grade of very slightly included. At eye level, such a grade assures its owner that only minute inclusions are present, rendering any intrinsic marks nearly invisible to the naked eye and thereby preserving the gemstone’s immaculate aura and appeal.

Color remains one of the most critical aspects in the appraisal and appreciation of precious gemstones. This particular pink sapphire is graded with a vivid color intensity, distinguishing it within the spectrum of gemstones by its radiant hue. The vividness of this shade is reminiscent of the striking blue hues of the Wittelsbach-Graff Diamond, known for its depth and saturation. With our pink sapphire, its robust color saturation rivals that of faded records, leaping from numbers to materials that mark turning points in history. Through The Natural Sapphire Company, we emphasize how this sapphire does not merely possess a lively tone—its vivid intensity engulfs the observer’s eye, etching itself into memory with unfading passion.

A polished surface is another key characteristic that conveys the absolute care and craftsmanship involved in preparing a fine gemstone for admiration and jewelry setting. This pink sapphire boasts an excellent polish, ensuring that every facet is clear and unobstructed, drawing compelling comparisons to iconic gemstones like the Star of India. Just as these historically significant gems have borne the evidence of meticulous polish, our sapphire too reflects a mirror-like surface devoid of blemishes and capable of displaying the gemstone’s full spectral range when graced by light. Such polished finesse transforms what would be a mere currency of lustrous stones into a conversation piece, a testament proclaiming its worth privately and publicly alike.
