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

From the ancient hills of Ceylon Sri Lanka this purplish pink sapphire began its journey as a slow miracle of the earth, formed under heat and pressure over millions of years, discovered by skilled hands in a storied mining district where sapphires have been prized for centuries, brought to light with respect for the land and local tradition, and entrusted to the expert team at The Natural Sapphire Company to reveal its full beauty. This transparent sapphire arrives GIA certified, a gemstone that requires no enhancement, its natural intense color preserved and celebrated, its provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka documented and admired. The stone weighs 2.96 carats, an alluring size that is rare for this hue, and its mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize light return while maintaining an elegant oval shape, allowing the purplish pink tones to breathe and to shift subtly with movement, a living reflection of its origin and history.

When you hold this gem you will appreciate how the dimensions of 9.30 by 7.57 by 5.01 mm give it presence without overwhelming the wearer, a perfect scale for a statement ring or a singular pendant. The clarity grade is included evaluated at eye level, which in this case adds character and a sense of authenticity, tiny internal features that attest to the stone natural formation, while its excellent polish ensures every facet sparkles with lively brilliance. The intense color intensity commands attention, the mixed brilliant cut scatters light in a way that amplifies the pink and purple notes, and the superb polish gives the gem a surface finish that sings under direct light. For a customer who seeks a piece that tells a story, this sapphire is ideal, its nearly three carats creating a dramatic focal point that pairs beautifully with both classic and contemporary settings, whether set in warm gold to enhance the pink, or in cool platinum for a modern contrast. At The Natural Sapphire Company we delight in guiding you to a setting that will honor this stone journey from Ceylon Sri Lanka to your hand, and to creating a piece that will feel at once intimately personal and undeniably spectacular.
