2.65 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the verdant hills of Ceylon, now called Sri Lanka, lies a world renowned for its exquisite minerals, where the journey of a transparent 2.65 carat oval-shaped pink sapphire begins. The mine, dotted with the endeavors of generations, respects the age-old techniques in extracting these precious gems with utmost care. Here, beneath layers of centuries-old earth, lays our gemstone, nestled amid the rich mineral deposits. Carefully uncovered by seasoned hands, it emerges as a rough yet promising specimen. With utmost devotion to sustainable sourcing and ethical practices, the process captures the essence of the land’s rich geological history and our commitment to integrity and responsibility at The Natural Sapphire Company.

Next, the rough sapphire travels to the capable hands of our expert gem cutters. At this stage, every decision made influences the beauty and value of this extraordinary gemstone. With the skill passed down through generations, the cutter determines the optimal technique for its transformation. Our gem specialist strategically employs a mixed brilliant cut, a sophisticated faceting style designed to enhance the sapphire’s innate brilliance and unique characteristics. This style combines a kaleidoscope of angular facets, optimizing its display of light and imparting a radiant fire that enlivens the stone. Precision in cutting ensures that its proportions are ideal to maximize both brilliance and size retention, gracefully balancing the dimensions of 8.89 x 7.43 x 4.91 mm.

With the cutting phase completed, the pink sapphire's clarity is evaluated meticulously. Marketed with a grade of eye clean, the gem showcases a pristine surface unmarred by inclusions visible to the naked eye. This clarity is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship and stringent quality control practiced by The Natural Sapphire Company, ensuring that every gemstone meets the highest industry standards. Equally important is the medium color intensity gracing the gemstone, which reflects a vibrant yet balanced hue, evocative of the tender blooms of a spring morning. This saturation not only highlights the gemstone’s elegance but also speaks to the masterful stewardship of its natural beauty.

The final stage of this transformative journey is the polishing of the pink sapphire. This step is critical to achieve an excellent polish, ensuring the surface is smooth and reflective, allowing maximum interaction with light. A carefully executed polish enhances the stone’s luster, offering a brilliant sheen that captivates and endows the gem with a graceful aura of sophistication. Backed by the craftsmanship and expertise of The Natural Sapphire Company, this pink sapphire stands as a testament to the confluence of nature’s majesty and human artistry. From mine to market, its voyage is a narrative of meticulous dedication to excellence, resonating with those who appreciate the nuanced beauty of fine gemstones.
