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

If you are searching for a single stone that will end your quest for a truly special center gem, this transparent 2.73 carat cushion shape purplish pink sapphire is the answer. Its precise dimensions of 8.63 by 6.60 by 5.11 millimeters give it a commanding presence without overwhelming a design, making it ideal for engagement rings, signature cocktail rings, or a standout pendant. Cut in a faceted mixed brilliant style with an excellent polish, this sapphire returns light with an inviting sparkle while retaining depth and color saturation. The clarity grade is slightly included as evaluated at eye level, yet it remains eye clean and lively in ordinary viewing, and its medium color intensity offers a lovely balance between vividness and wearability. This gem is untreated, showing no enhancement, and originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a name collectors and connoisseurs know well. At The Natural Sapphire Company we recognize that many customers want a stone that combines beauty, integrity, and story, and this sapphire answers that brief perfectly.

What makes this cushion sapphire especially suitable for custom jewelry is its shape and proportions. A cushion form with the given length and width is wonderfully versatile, sitting comfortably within classic four prong or vintage style settings, and filling a halo with enough presence to showcase secondary stones without appearing crowded. The length to width ratio leans toward an elegant, slightly elongated profile, which flatters the finger and allows designers to play with orientation for either a traditional look or a more modern elongated silhouette. With a depth of 5.11 millimeters the pavilion offers room for secure setting and optimum light return, and the mixed brilliant cut facets create scintillation that reads beautifully in both direct and softer light. For a customer who needs a center stone that adapts to many design directions, from low profile daily wear to a dramatic high set showpiece, this sapphire provides that flexible canvas in a luxury size that few stones at this price point can match.

When planning a custom creation around this gemstone you gain many appealing options. For clients seeking a timeless engagement ring, pairing the purplish pink sapphire with a halo of white diamonds will increase perceived size and add contrast, while pavé shoulders or tapered baguettes will create graceful transitions to the band. If you prefer a romantic and warm palette, rose gold enhances the pink tones and complements skin undertones beautifully. For a cool contemporary look, platinum or 18 karat white gold frames the stone and amplifies its sparkle. Designers may choose a four or six prong cathedral setting for maximum light exposure and security, or a bezel for added protection in active wear. This sapphire also makes an exceptional solitaire pendant, where its cushion outline lends itself to both simple bezel settings and ornate vintage inspired mounts. At The Natural Sapphire Company our bespoke service includes CAD renderings, multiple metal mockups, and hand finishing, so you can visualize how the 8.63 by 6.60 by 5.11 millimeter proportions will sit in your chosen design and how the 2.73 carat weight will balance with finger size and band width.

Collectors and thoughtful buyers will appreciate the gemological virtues and responsible provenance of this sapphire. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka is associated with a refined color spectrum and a storied mining heritage, and the fact that this stone is natural with no enhancement increases its rarity and long term value. The slightly included clarity gives character under magnification while remaining visually pristine during everyday wear. Its excellent polish ensures smooth pavilion facets that resist abrasion and keep reflections crisp, supporting durability for a lifetime of wear. For care you may clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, and have routine checks for prongs and settings as with any fine jewelry. If your priority is an engagement ring that tells a unique story, or a collector piece that demands authenticity and beauty, this cushion purplish pink sapphire fulfills both aspirations.
