2.69 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape pink sapphire weighs 2.69 carats, and measures 9.12 by 7.32 by 5.19 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes sparkle and face up brightness, and an excellent polish that gives the pavilion and crown crisp, lively reflections. Sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka and supplied by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gem is transparent, with an intense color intensity and a clarity graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions do not compete with the gem at typical viewing distances. Unlike many market alternatives that are heat treated or otherwise enhanced to simulate saturation, this sapphire has no enhancement, a key point of distinction that preserves natural character and long term value. Compared with similar sized stones, this example offers a rare combination of vivid, natural pink, a precise pear outline that flatters a variety of settings, and the visual cleanliness often associated with higher grade sapphires, so it sits above common commercial material that trades on size alone or on treatment bolstering color.

When set in jewelry the vibrant pink tone of this Ceylon sapphire adapts beautifully to all skin tones, and careful metal choice can further enhance its personality. Against fair skin the intense pink reads as fresh and lively, especially in white metals that emphasize brilliance, while rose gold will warm the tone offering a romantic, vintage feel. For medium or olive complexions the gem yields a flattering, rich contrast that makes the pink appear deeper without losing the stone s inherent sparkle, and yellow gold will harmonize with warmer undertones for a classic, regal look. On darker skin the vivid pink becomes luminous and striking, standing out as a clear focal point that carries presence even in bold, contemporary designs. The mixed brilliant cut encourages scintillation, so prong settings and halo designs allow light to enter and return, maximizing the gem s performance, while bezel settings protect the delicate pear tip for everyday wear. For clients seeking superior natural color, uncompromised provenance, and enduring value, this sapphire offers a distinctive alternative to treated or synthetic options, and our team at The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on mounting styles that best complement your skin tone and design intent.
