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

There are gemstones that capture the eye, and then there are gemstones that quietly command a room, declaring rarity without a word. This purplish pink sapphire is one of the latter, a superb example of what discerning collectors and those who insist on exceptional gifts seek. At 2.96 carats, its presence is immediate, yet refined, a perfect balance of scale and wearable elegance. The cushion shape gives the gem an enduring, vintage inspired silhouette, while the mixed brilliant cut allows light to dance from within, producing flashes of lively sparkle that vary with every subtle movement. This is not a mass produced choice, it is a singular opportunity to own a stone with character, provenance, and a presence that feels bespoke. For anyone who understands the language of fine gems, this sapphire speaks with clarity and depth, and ownership places you among a select group who appreciate true rarity.

The technical story of this sapphire is as compelling as its aesthetic appeal. Measuring 8.58 x 8.58 x 4.21 mm, it is cut to maximize both surface area and internal brilliance, creating an optical play that enhances the stone s intense color intensity. Evaluated at eye level, the clarity grade is slightly included, which means the natural inclusions do not distract from the gem s beauty, rather they attest to its natural origin and individuality. The polish is excellent, giving each facet a mirror like finish that amplifies the purplish pink hue and the mixed brilliant faceting pattern. This sapphire originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing sapphires with exceptional color and character, and it has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that improves tone and clarity while maintaining the gem s integrity. Every aspect of this piece has been considered with the care of a craftsman, so it arrives ready to be set into a design that will become a lifelong heirloom.

Consider the impression this sapphire will make as a gift for someone truly special. Whether presented as a ring that crowns a milestone, a pendant that rests close to the heart, or a tailored commission that reflects a personal story, its intense purplish pink color is both modern and timeless, feminine and bold. Gifting this stone is an invitation to ownership of something rare, it is the kind of present that marks turning points, celebrates enduring love, or acknowledges a remarkable achievement. The cushion form flatters the hand and the mixed brilliant cut ensures that the gem will continue to reveal new facets of its personality over the years. Owning such a stone suggests membership in an exclusive circle of collectors and connoisseurs, those who value the provenance of Ceylon sapphires and who understand that truly exceptional gems are not found, they are chosen.
