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

This exceptional purplish pink cushion sapphire carries an aura of singularity that only the rarest gemstones possess, a stone for those who understand that true luxury is measured by scarcity and provenance. We present a transparent 3.02 carat cushion shape sapphire with dimensions of 8.80 x 7.78 x 4.68 mm, a mixed brilliant cut that catches and returns light in a lively, scintillating manner, and an excellent polish that finishes each facet with mirror like precision. The color intensity of this gem reads as intense, a saturated purplish pink that feels both romantic and modern, and its clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the stone offers a clean presentation to the eye while retaining natural character under magnification. Origin matters when crafting heirloom quality jewels, and this sapphire hails from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated for producing sapphires with lively color and exceptional personality. The gem has been heat treated, a customary and stable enhancement that intensifies its innate hue while preserving its integrity for generations. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate pieces like this with an eye for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate subtle rarity and provenance, offering a purchase that is as much an investment in beauty as it is in legacy.

Imagine this stone set into a bespoke ring or pendant, designed so that its cushion silhouette and mixed brilliant facets can perform at their best. The generous table and elegant depth provide a memorable visual presence whether set low for refined daily wear or elevated for a dramatic cocktail setting. A rose gold mounting will amplify the warm, pink facets creating a glow that reads as feminine and luxurious, while a white metal such as platinum or white gold will emphasize the cooler purplish notes delivering a contemporary, high contrast appearance. The mixed brilliant cut invites a variety of setting styles, including a halo of smaller white diamonds to increase perceived size and sparkle, or a clean bezel for a modern minimalist statement that highlights the stone itself. Because of its eye clean appearance and excellent polish, the stone will send crisp flashes of color across the hand or neckline, making it a focal point that remains elegant from every angle. For collectors seeking exclusivity, bespoke settings provide the opportunity to tailor metal type, setting profile, and accompanying stones to your personal aesthetic, transforming this rare sapphire into a one of one creation that will be spoken of in private circles.

When considering how this purplish pink sapphire will complement different skin tones, it helps to think of color relationships in terms of warmth and contrast, and this stone is remarkably flattering across the spectrum. On fair skin tones with cool undertones the purplish aspect of the pink will create a sophisticated, almost ethereal contrast that elevates the complexion without overwhelming it, and when paired with white gold or platinum the overall effect is refined and luminous. For fair skins with warm undertones a rose gold setting will harmonize with the skin and heighten the pink warmth of the sapphire creating a cohesive, romantic look. On olive tones the balance between purple and pink provides a lively pop that brightens the skin, and both yellow gold and rose gold settings can accentuate warmth while white metals lend a modern edge for those who prefer contrast. Deeper skin tones are beautifully complemented by intense, saturated colors and this sapphire reads vividly on rich complexions, delivering a regal, jewel like presence that stands out with confident elegance. For individuals with warm undertones who favor subtlety, choosing a softer setting profile will allow the pink to integrate with skin warmth, whereas those with cool undertones who prefer vivid contrast will find the stone sings when paired with platinum or white gold. At The Natural Sapphire Company we collaborate with clients to match gemstone, metal, and setting to personal coloring and style, ensuring that this exceptional 3.02 carat purplish pink Ceylon sapphire becomes an heirloom piece that flatters, endures, and sets its owner apart as a member of an exclusive circle who appreciates stones of genuine rarity.
