2.65 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.65 carat cushion shape purplish pink sapphire measures 8.98 x 7.09 x 4.12 mm, and is cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle and color dispersion. The gem presents an intense color intensity that reads distinctly purplish pink, and the excellent polish enhances surface brightness and optical performance. Clarity was evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, meaning the stone is effectively eye clean to most observers and displays only minimal internal features under close inspection. The piece has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that improves hue and clarity, and its documented origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source historically renowned for producing sapphires with lively saturation and attractive tone.

Compared to available market options this sapphire is rare in both size and color, because purplish pink sapphires with strong, even saturation above two carats are uncommon, and those that combine vivid hue with eye clean clarity and an efficient mixed brilliant cut are especially scarce. The cushion shape offers a generous visual spread relative to weight, producing an impressive presence on the finger while retaining balanced proportions at 8.98 by 7.09 millimeters. For the informed buyer the combination of carat weight, intense purplish pink color, eye level very very slightly included clarity, and an excellent polish translates into superior rarity and long term desirability, because such stones are sought after by collectors and custom jewelers who prioritize color purity, light performance, and minimal visible inclusions.

This sapphire is an excellent candidate for a museum style solitaire, a classic halo engagement setting, or a bespoke design that highlights the rare purplish pink tone, and it pairs beautifully with both warm yellow metals and cool white metals depending on personal preference. At The Natural Sapphire Company we disclose all treatments and origins, and we provide detailed imagery and grading information so you can evaluate color, cut and clarity with confidence.
