2.85 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.85 carat oval pink sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, presents a refined combination of size, shape, and optical quality. Measuring 9.80 x 7.68 x 5.09 mm, the stone has a mixed brilliant cut that balances table size and pavilion faceting to deliver lively light return and scintillation. The clarity is described as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, indicating inclusions are minimal and do not detract from face up appearance. The color is vivid in intensity, offering a saturated and evenly distributed pink hue that reads strongly in both natural and controlled lighting. The sapphire has an excellent polish and has been heat treated, a conventional and stable enhancement used to optimize color and clarity. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem with full disclosure of its origin and treatment, enabling precise decision making for bespoke designs.

The dimensions and oval outline make this sapphire particularly well suited to custom jewelry projects that require a balance of presence and wearability. At 2.85 carats the gem carries substantial visual weight without overwhelming typical ring heads, pendant bails, or earring settings, and the 9.80 by 7.68 mm footprint adapts readily to classic solitaire settings, halo designs, three stone compositions, and multi stone cluster layouts. The elongated oval silhouette complements finger proportions and can be oriented vertically or in an east west orientation to achieve different style profiles, while the mixed brilliant faceting enhances brilliance in smaller profile settings where depth is important. The combination of vivid color and very very slight inclusions means the stone performs well as a center gem, retaining vibrant saturation under varied mounting metals and accent stones. For custom manufacture the consistent pavilion depth of 5.09 mm supports secure prong and bezel options while preserving optical performance. Designers and clients working with The Natural Sapphire Company will find this sapphire offers reliable material characteristics, high visual appeal, and flexible sizing that streamline the creation of tailored rings, pendants, and earrings.
