2.65 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pink sapphire began its long journey deep within the ancient gem gravels of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where slow moving rivers and volcanic history conspired to create rich pockets of corundum. Carefully recovered by experienced local miners who know the rhythms of those earth layers, this transparent stone moved from the mine to the hands of master graders and cutters. GIA certified and weighed at 2.65 carats, this oval sapphire measures 9.35 x 7.45 x 4.60 mm, and carries the quiet testimony of place and craft. Heat treated to enhance its hue, the gem retains a light color intensity and a slightly included clarity grade when evaluated at eye level, which allows the natural character of the material to remain visible while showcasing its inherent sparkle. The Natural Sapphire Company brings this story forward, offering a gem that links traditional Sri Lankan heritage with modern gemological standards.

The cutting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that was chosen to amplify the stone s innate interaction with light. The cutter balanced the crown and pavilion facets to optimize light return, creating an elegant play of scintillation along the oval silhouette. With a depth of 4.60 mm and an average table span that yields a depth proportion of about 54.8 percent, the proportions sit in a sweet spot that minimizes windowing while maximizing brilliance. The mixed brilliant arrangement combines smaller star and kite facets on the crown with a series of pavilion facets geared to break light into lively flashes, so that movement transforms the surface into a sequence of soft flashes and pinpoint sparkles. The excellent polish ensures each facet face is a mirror for light, giving crisp facet junctions that increase contrast and directional sparkle in both daylight and lamp light.

Wearing this sapphire is to carry a piece of Ceylon s landscape and its artisan legacy, refined by grading and cutting that respect the stone s natural story. The slightly included clarity and the light color intensity make it an accessible, luminous pink that reads as both romantic and rooted. For collectors and those seeking a meaningful gemstone, this GIA certified oval pink sapphire is an elegant option, a balance of natural origin, skilled cutting, and full disclosure of enhancement. The Natural Sapphire Company is pleased to present this gem, ready to be set into a design that honors its journey from riverbed to radiant jewel.
